Don't repeat exponent in \SIrange

Question

This

\SIrange{2e12}{5e12}{\meter}

renders as

I would like to not repeat the exponent, i.e.

(2-5)x10^12 m

How can I achieve this?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You need to fix the exponent and adjust a few other settings

\SIrange[scientific-notation = fixed, range-units = brackets, fixed-exponent = 12]%
{2e12}{5e12}{\metre}

Probably in a 'real' case some of these will be set globally (\sisetup).
