∙ 14y agoThe metric system is the most widely used system of measurement, although the empirical system still seems limited use, like the United States.
The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement, first adopted by France in 1791, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world.
The system of measurement commonly used in most of the world is the SI or Metric system. Aside from that one, there are various others that are used in small areas by relatively few people. One of those is the "English" system, used in Burma, Liberia, and the USA.
It is a converter to the metric system, an international decimalised system of measurement, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world. Scroll down to related links and look at "Countries where the metric system is official are shown in green".
No it's not true. The vast majority of scientific reports use the S.I. metric system of measurement.
Most of the world uses the metric system for measurement.
That's the "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 metric system used around the world is the International System of Units (SI), which is based on seven base units: meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity).

The metric system is used all over the world.
The metric system is the measurement system of choice for most countries around the world, including in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It is also the preferred system for scientific and medical communities globally.
Systeme Internationale (SI)
There are two standard measurement units that are used across the world. Most countries either implore that metric system or what is called the US System.
The metric system is used worldwide and is the standard system of measurement in most countries of the world. It is simple to use because it is based on units of ten.
The standard unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter for length, kilogram for mass, second for time, ampere for electric current, kelvin for temperature, mole for amount of substance, and candela for luminous intensity.
