Warning  If hard core NMR or physics theory is not to your taste, please do not read any further!

The SI or International System of Units versus the CGS or Centimetre–gram–second system of units is a constant source of confusion in the field of NMR. Both are based on the metric system, however the differences can result in quite different forms of the fundamental NMR equations. An example of this is Tesla versus Gauss units for the magnetic field strength.
