I can't vouch for their accuracy, since I've never used them, but there were two
Complete Anacrhonists that came out a few years ago (92 and 93? 93 and 94?
Somewhere in the mid 90's), that were basically measurement equivalents -
the author matched French ells with English ells with Flemish ells; gallons with
hogsheads with tuns; and the like. The titles contained the word "Metrology" -
not "meteorology" as in weather forecasting, but "metrology" as in measuring.
