How is it more practical when 1 m/m = 1 mm/mm = 1 μm/μm?

[-] nooneescapesthelaw@mander.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

The original specimens and data are usually in mm, not meters so mm/mm makes more sense than m/m, although you do have a point

Because excel doesn't have built in unit handling so when you enter in readings from the strain gauge you'll probably enter them in what's being reported.

You can write the units of strain however you like, I often say ul for unitless.
