Handful, chapter, pinch, truckload, pocketful, shovelful, cubit, sprinkle, dusting, 'to taste' are all examples of nonstandardized units. They may describe easily understood 'quantities', but they are in no way likely to mean exactly the same thing to different people.

What is the best nonstandard unit to measure the width of a classroom?
You can invent any number of nonstandard units, but none of them is "best". It is best to use standard units, that is, the meter.

What is non standard measurement?
Using a non-standard scale. Science has generally agreed on a bunch of units grams, meters, joules etc to make up the "System International" or SI units. These should be used in a scientific context. They are based on Standards - for instance there used to be a stick in Paris which was defined as being a meter long all other meters had to be that length. They now use some trick with wavelengths of red light. Back on topic - There are other scales in general use mostly for historic reasons. The "customary units" in the US for distance (miles, yards, feet and inches) and weights (Pounds and Ounces) being pretty common examples. Using these scales could be considered nonstandard if you were writing a scientific paper. More likely nonstandard measure would be using a scale that is no ones standard. I could (and have) built a scaffold structure using units of "Rebecca" a nice girl who happens to be a good length to put scaffold floors apart. But I think you would have to consider her a nonstandard measure. The point being if you use nonstandard measure then people are not going to understand you since there is no common reference or "standard" to compare to.
What are standard and nonstandard units of measurement?
standard or imperial measurements are in : inches, feet, yards, pounds, gallons and asuming by nonstandard you mean metric measurements, they are in, millimeters, meters, kilometers, kilograms, liters. .........TADA!

if you measure a crayon with inches is not the same as measuring with feet.

What is the difference between nonstandard and standard units of measurements?
Standard units are common units that can be re-measured easily. Examples: meters, miles, grams, seconds, etc. Non standard units are more so things than units that can't be measured as easily. Example: 13 pieces of gum in length. Surely you could lay out 13 pieces of gum, but gum varies in size which makes it more difficult to use as an accurate measurement.
What are some examples of units of measure?
The foot, yard, mile, gallon, quart, pound and fluid ounce are examples of units of measurement in the United States customary units system. Examples of metric units of measurement include the meter, kilometer and gram.
What other country using the nonstandard unit of measurements?
