    Example
    AngularUnit - Create an AngularUnit with a factory code
    {
      try
      {
        // create a Grad unit
        var grad = AngularUnit.CreateAngularUnit(9105);
        string unitName = grad.Name;                        // Grad
        double conversionFactor = grad.ConversionFactor;    // 0.015708
        double radiansPerUnit = grad.RadiansPerUnit;
        int factoryCode = grad.FactoryCode;                 // 9105
    
        // convert 10 grads to degrees
        double val = grad.ConvertTo(10, AngularUnit.Degrees);
    
        // convert 10 radians to grads
        val = grad.ConvertFromRadians(10);
      }
      catch (ArgumentException)
      {
        // ArgumentException will be thrown by CreateAngularUnit in
        // the following scenarios:
        // - if the factory code used is a non-angular factory code
        //   (i.e. it corresponds to square meters which is an area unit code)
        // - if the factory code used is invalid
        //   (i.e. it is negative or doesn't correspond to any factory code)
      }
    
    }
    LinearUnit - Create a LinearUnit with a factory code
    {
      try
      {
        // create a british 1936 foot
        var britFoot = LinearUnit.CreateLinearUnit(9095);
        string unitName = britFoot.Name;                        //  "Foot_British_1936"
        double conversionFactor = britFoot.ConversionFactor;    // 0.3048007491
        double metersPerUnit = britFoot.MetersPerUnit;
        int factoryCode = britFoot.FactoryCode;                 // 9095
    
        // convert 10 british 1936 feet to centimeters
        double val = britFoot.ConvertTo(10, LinearUnit.Centimeters);
    
        // convert 10 m to british 1936 feet
        val = britFoot.ConvertFromMeters(10);
      }
      catch (ArgumentException)
      {
        // ArgumentException will be thrown by CreateLinearUnit
        // in the following scenarios:
        // - if the factory code used is a non-linear factory code
        //   (i.e. it corresponds to square meters which is an area unit code)
        // - if the factory code used is invalid
        //   (i.e. it is negative or doesn't correspond to any factory code)
      }
