SUMMARY
The symbol [=], as discussed in the context of dimensional analysis, is not widely recognized or used in scientific literature. Participants in the forum clarified that while the notation could imply a relationship between a quantity and its units, such as [t] = seconds, the specific notation [=] lacks established usage. Examples provided include the notation for momentum, [p] = MLT-1, which is accepted in dimensional analysis. Overall, the consensus is that [=], particularly in the form presented, is not standard.
