They also, however, include the following:• non-SI units that are based on the SI and are retained because of their practical importance (e.g. hectare, litre • non-SI units that are recognised as having to be retained because of their practical importance (e.g. day, hour, • various other non-SI units or specialist units in combination with SI units (e.g. decibel and parts per mil ion) • non-SI units widely used in the oil & gas industry (e.g. British thermal unit and mil ion barrels).
