While it is not recommended above previously mentioned alternatives, there is also [UnitSystems](https://github.com/chakravala/UnitSystems.jl). The author can not speak to it's ability.

Quick minimalist [UnitSystems.jl](https://github.com/chakravala/UnitSystems.jl) which is the more complete and scientifically sophisticated implementation with deep scientific nuance. Loads very fast but does not provide a `Quantity` type, which is in an optional package [Similitude.jl](https://github.com/chakravala/Similitude.jl).

> A `UnitSystem` is a consistent set of dimensional values selected to accomodate a particular use case standardization. It is possible to convert derived physical quantities from any `UnitSystem` specification into any other using accurate values. Eleven fundamental constants are used to govern a specific unit system consistent scaling. These are the constants `boltzmann`, `planckreduced`, `lightspeed`, `vacuumpermeability`, `electronmass`, `molarmass`, `luminousefficacy`, `angle`, `rationalization`, `lorentz`, and `gravity`. Different choices of natural units or physical measurements result in a variety of unit systems for many purposes.
