Given that only Liberia and Burma officially share the US measurement system, it can hardly be described as universal!
Metric system. :)

The metric system is the most widely used system of measurement, although the empirical system still seems limited use, like the United States.
The measurement system, which was used in Europe before the metric system was the Roman and Anglo-Saxon measurement systems. Examples are acre, furlong and yard.
The metric system is used by scientists because it is based on factors of ten. This makes it easy to convert from one unit of measurement to another.
Apparently it's not as universal as you think.
Theoreticall the American system is the MKS system (Meter-Kilogram-Second system). However, practically they use the FPS (Foot-Pound-Second system).
Most of the world uses the metric system for measurement.

Almost all real science involves measurements. A universal system of measurement is necessary, or at least very very convenient, in science, in order to make it possible for different scientists to tell each other about their work ... what they did and what the results were ... and even for different scientists in different places to work together on the same thing. The universal system that's used in today's world is the "SI" system, or the "metric" system. Look it up and read about it, either on line or in a real book, to learn about its units. Here are three of them to get you started: -- the Meter -- the Kilogram -- the Second
Scientist use the metric system, since it is a universal standard. It makes it easier to compare results worldwide.
The azimuth system is used to establish an origin point and a measurement.

A system of measurement is a set of units of measurement which can be used to specify anything which can be measured and were historically important, regulated and defined.Two major system of measurements in science are S.I baseunits and S.I derived units.

the si system of measurement is the standard set of units accepted throughout the world.
