Measured value

The value of a measured variable obtained from a measuring device, measuring system or measuring equipment is referred to as a measured value. It consists of a numerical value and the physical unit.

According to DIN 1301, numerical values should be between 0.1 and 1,000. Prefixes for units of measurement should be used instead of larger or smaller numerical values.

Examples:

• 10,000 V ≙ 10 kV (electrical voltage)
• 20,000 m ≙ 20 km (length)
• 2,000 kg ≙ 2 t (mass)
• 1,000 mm ≙ 1 m
• 0.001 kg ≙ 1 g
• 0.01 m ≙ 1 cm
