The "English" system.
Inches, Feet, Yards, Miles, Ounces, Pounds, Tons, Fluid Ounces, Cups, Pints, Quarts, Gallons, degrees Fahrenheit and horsepower.
However, a lot of consumer products in the U.S. are in metric like medicine, liquor and carbonated drinks.
Americans primarily use the imperial system of measurements, which includes units such as inches, feet, pounds, and gallons. This system is different from the metric system used by most other countries.
You use exactly the same instruments to measure speed in the metric system as you use in any other system. For example, a speedometer, or a distance measuring device and a stopwatch. The difference is that these devices are calibrated in metric units, instead of old-fashioned units.

A ruler or a metric tape measure is commonly used to measure length in the metric system. These instruments typically have units of centimeters or millimeters for more precise measurements.
The Metre.
A metric square measure is called a square meter (m²). It is the standard unit of area measurement in the metric system.

To measure.
All science uses the metric system for measurements. Meters instead of feet, centimeters instead of inches. A person has to learn the "language" of science.

"Metric" is a whole system of weights and measurements. Many different devices are used to measure things in the system.
This is because the U.S.A. is finally joining the modern world.

The SI unit for mass in the metric system is the kilogram.
By using measuring tools with metric measurements on them.
There is no individual unit in the Metric system that is near one inch in the English system, I'm afraid.
