We are working on a software with a design close to Office 2013 (2D icons, main colors black and white).
We have a button which allows the user to change the units in the software. We are looking for an icon explicit for users. Units in this case are temperatures : °C, K, °F, but also distances : meters or foot.
What would be a good icon to represent this button? Our problem is that the icon must be 16x16 pixels. We just have no idea what to represent.
Currently it is not explicit:
Do you have any idea ?

The commonality between the units in this case is that they are normally both defined over a scale.
Short distances are measured with a ruler, that has a scale from one end to the other
Large distances with a scale on a map
Thermometers have a scale on them too.
I would therefore show some kind of graduated scale.

100px version for clarity:

For t you can combine all three symbols in one icon, or alternatively create 3 icons - each one is activated when proper scale is chosen:
Probably it is better to separate t and l to two different icon/options
