Measurements

 * Joule equivalent - - Probably just means "equivalent in Joules", but alternatively Joule's equivalent is a redirect to Mechanical equivalent of heat.
 * Mean British thermal unit - - The "mean temperature" variant of British thermal unit?
 * Microangstrom - - Is this term (for 10−16 m) ever used? It would be considered very non-standard in the SI.
 * Microwave noise standard -
 * Millimeter of water - - Unit of pressure, see Pressure.
 * Moisture gradient -
 * Pound per square inch gage - - Unit of pressure, see Pressure.
 * Pound per square root - - Typo for pounds per square foot?
