What is the universal scientific system of measurement called?

Answer 1

The universal system of scientific measurement is call the metric system.

The basic units are the meter (39.37 inches) for length and the gram (15.432 grains) for mass or weight. Derived units are the liter (0.908 U.S. dry quart, or 1.0567 U.S. liquid quart) for capacity, being the volume of 1000 grams of water under specified conditions; the are (119.6 square yards) for area, being the area of a square 10 meters on a side; and the stere (35.315 cubic feet) for volume, being the volume of a cube 1 meter on a side, the term "stere," however, usually being used only in measuring firewood.

Names for units larger and smaller than these are formed from the above names by the use of the following prefixes: kilo-, 1000; hecto-, 100; deka-, 10; deci-, 0.1; centi-, 0.01; milli-, 0.001. To these are often added: tera-, one trillion; giga-, one billion; mega-, one million.

Answer 2

There is no truly universal measurement system, yet. However, the metric system is global, which is probably what the reader originally wanted. (Note that the metric system is essentially a terrestrial system, and about as suited to extra-terrestrial measurements as cubits and furlongs are.)

Answer 3

• The universal system of units that are now used is called SI measurement system.
• SI unit defined as any of the units adopted for international use under the Système International d'Unités, now employed for all scientific and most technical purposes.
• There are seven fundamental units: the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela, and mole; and two supplementary units: the radian and the steradian.
• All other units are derived by multiplication or division of these units without the use of numerical factors.
