What are the units of measures adopted in createpde thermal transient?

Hello,
I'm using createpde to simulate heat transfer in stainless steel. However, despite changing the boundary conditions, the temperature distribution that returns in the graph is totally inconsistent. I believe it is due to the values of thermal conductivity, convection coefficient, specific mass, heat flux, geometry length measurements, etc. Which units are used, since the examples show only the absolute values without the proper units. Watt, meter, millimeter, seconds, celsius, kelvin?
Is the SI unit standard? Do I need to indicate the units after the absolute value?
thank you
