Description

This module defines the American customary system of units. Because there are some names that are conflicted, even within this system, there are several modules underneath here, defining sub-parts of the US system. This module gathers together a subjective set of units users will commonly wish to use. It also exports type instances DefaultUnitOfDim that use the SI internal representations. This choice is made for inter-compatibility with SI computations. If you want the foot-pound-second system, use the FPS.

Included are all units mentioned here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_customary_units Where possible, conversion rates have been independently verified at a US government website. However, Wikipedia's base is much better organized than any government resource immediately available. The US government references used are as follows: http://nist.gov/pml/wmd/metric/upload/SP1038.pdf http://nist.gov/pml/wmd/pubs/upload/appc-14-hb44-final.pdf
