MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS

Measurement Systems 

Systems of measurements are different types of measurements consisting of units and rules to govern them. These have been historically changed, regulated, and well defined to assist us in scientific and commercial trade purposes, especially between continents and nations. Major systems of measurements are,

  • International System of Units (SI), also called the metric system.
  • The British imperial system.
  • The United States customary system.
The entire world uses the metric system or for measurements except for Liberia, Myanmar, and the United States of America.

In the USA they use Customary Units like inches, feet, pounds, quarts, and gallons. 

This is fine except that you have to memorize or look up the strange conversions to get from one unit to another.
