The three primary dimensions mainly used in hydraulics are length, force and temperature. Both systems of measurement: the International System (SI) and the English System are commonly used. While a unit expresses a specific type of physical quantity. a dimension assigns a property of scale so that the unit can be measured. Thus the unit is length measured in the dimension meters. There are four dimensions from dimensions from which secondary dimension can be obtained. Velocity is a primary dimension expressed as L/T.
