- per-cent-mille: unit of Dimension Scalar. This unit is a value expression based on percent (%) unit.
- parts-per-million: unit of Dimension Scalar. This unit is a value expression based on percent (%) unit.
- parts-per-billion: unit of Dimension Scalar. This unit is a value expression based on percent (%) unit.
- parts-per-trillion: unit of Dimension Scalar. This unit is a value expression based on percent (%) unit.
- parts-per-quadrillion: unit of Dimension Scalar. This unit is a value expression based on percent (%) unit.
