The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) started in 1926 and the Laws of Table Tennis included all measurements in imperial units only (feet and inches).
In 1937, the metric (metres, centimetres & millimetres) equivalent were added alongside the imperial measurements.
In 1947, the metric measurements were made the primary units of measurement with imperial measurements secondary.
In 1975 the imperial measurements were omitted from the Laws completely and all measurements were stated in metric units only.
So table tennis tables are defined in the Laws of Table Tennis using metric measurements only.
An official table tennis table is 2.74m long, 1.525m wide and 76cm high, and the net is 1.83m long and 15.25cm high
Meters should be used to measure the length of a tennis court in metric units.
There are no units of measure suitable for measuring a sport. A tennis court, net, ball, racquet, player can all be measured, but not tennis itself!

A metres, for an approximate measure, a centimetre for a more accurate measure.
You have your choice. If you like the metric system, measure your ping pong table in meters. If you prefer the English system, measure your ping pong table in feet.
Cracked table tennis balls can be used for vehicular antenna-toppers.
The pound or kilogram would be best. The table is nothing like, say, a toothpick. It's a lot heavier. But it isn't as heavy as, say, a bulldozer. Pounds or kilograms would be the unit of choice for the weight of a kitchen table.

The best measurement unit to measure the area of a ping pong table is square feet or square meters, depending on your preference. These units provide a clear and understandable measurement of the table's surface area.
