Remarks

Finds a predefined linear or angular unit of measure based on its OGP/EPSG well known identifier (WKID, also referred to as “factory code”). AuthorityName is optional. If specified, it is usually either "EPSG" or "ESRI", but can also be an arbitrary string. As with spatial references, only the WKID value is used to locate the predefined unit. The WKIDs for predefined linear and angular units are listed here: esriSRUnit2Type,  esriSRUnitType.
