A non-standard unit of measurement is a way of reporting measurements in terms of units whose value only a few people may know.
Many of the early, non-standard units of measurement, which were based on the human body, were like that. Everybody does not have the same span so saying that a table is 12 spans long is not particularly helpful. Some of these were ;ater standardised: palm = 3 inches, hand = 4 inches (10.16 cm) and so on.
