Italian term or phrase: unità di lettura
"Unità di lettura", in una tabella dove si trovano i valori.
Queste unità sarebbero:

t/h (tonnellata per ora)
h/d (ore per giorno)
d/y (giorni per anno)

Ecc.

Avevo posto la mia attenzione su Unità di misura, pertanto "Unit of measurement" e ho elaborato un "Unit of reading", ma non mi piace affatto come suona.
Come potrei tradurre questo termine?


"Unità di lettura" in a chart to explain a machinery potentiality.
These "units" are:

t/H (tonnes per hour)
h/d (hours per day)
d/y (giorni per anno)

Thinking about "Unit of measurement", I elaborated a sort of "Unit of reading" but I don't think it works.
How can I translate this term?

Thanks!

Explanation:
I think this is it because, in each case, these are the units the operator saw when he or she took a reading (an observation).
