I suggest you examine the Unit and Measure types implemented by
Dmitry Kazakov (http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de/ada/units.htm)
Two types are used for dealing with units. The type Unit denotes the
dimension of a physical entity. The type Measure represents some
quantity of a physical unit.
Dmitry provides a formidable body of services on physically
dimensioned quantities, including math operations and I/O.
Well tested and documented; a thoroughly professional product.
