You're completely right, there are the metric system and the others (UK, US). For sure, "equipment" is not appropriate.
Thanks a lot
In this case, "unit of measurement" would make sense. If you use the metric system, there is a limited number of units, which can be displayed in a list. but if you want to display all fancy units of measurement (including UK, US...), then you can't display all, so you need first to know what kind of measurement you're interested in.
Of course, that's just a guess, but imho it makes sense... whereas the current text doesn't.
