Units are related to one another. For example, since the meter is the unit of length, the unit of volume is cubic meter. Compare this to the imperial units, where the commonly used unit of volume is the gallon, which is not directly related to the cubic inch or cubic foot. Even worse, different units of volume are used for dry measure and for liquid measure.

Only the metric system (SI - International System of Units) is scientific and legal around the world. The English system is obsolete.
The International System of Units has standard units for all types of measurements.Unfortunately some countries as United States, Canada, United Kingdom and colonies doesn't recognize the SI.
The metric system and standard, or English, system are two sets of standards that are used for quantifying weights and measures.
Some equations change. Others don't depend on the choice of units.
Simple, the world without a coherent system of units is a chaos.
Standard units are used for measurmen as there is a system called the SI units and that is considered as the international system of units that is why we use standard units for measurment .
It is its own system, but is the base for the 'Systeme Internationale' scale of fully-coherent primary and derived units.
Yes they are.* * * * *No, they are not. A foot, for example, is a standard unit of the Imperial system.

Standard units are used for measurements. it is taken as a fundamental unit.
It is to provide a simple and coherent system of measurement units which are agreed by all people. Unfortunately, the US, Burma and Liberia have failed to adopt it.
CGS units are the standard for the metric system; Centimetres, Grams, Seconds

As I remember from grade school back in the 1960's I believe it was called: "Units and Standards" We refer to the U.S. measurement system today as the "Standard Measurement," "US Standard," "English Units," "US Customary Units," and "Imperial Units."
