No, centimeters and other --meters are the metric system.
A mil is one thousandth of an inch or 0.0001 inch.Hence, there are 1000 mils in one inch. Mils are often used as measurement in manufacturing in countries that are on the English standard. Such as the United States and some countries in South America. The rest of the world uses the metric system or meters.Mils seem to have taken hold in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards. Many countries that are using the metric system still use English Mils for electronic manufacturing.Doing a quick search for PCB manufacturing or manufactures you will see the term Mils all over the place. The reason for this is the United States was the dominate leader in electronic manufacturing when it was in its infancy.Keeping it in the electronic industry is the cost of developing manufacturing equipment using the metric system to replace current English equipment.
An inch.
An angstrom is a length measured in terms of the wavelength of light. 254,000 angstroms is one thousandth of an inch, or "one mil" in English units. Conversion works out a lot easier in the metric system, where 10,000,000 angstroms = 1 millimeter.
What is the system of measurement that uses inch, foot and yard?
The metric unit of measurement similar to an inch in the English system is the centimeter.
An inch is such a measure.
No, centimeters and other --meters are the metric system.

4.6875 inches is approximately equal to 11.91 centimeters in the metric system.
English.
No, the metric system does not use parts as a unit of measurement. In the metric system, the primary unit for length is the meter, which is divided into smaller units such as centimeters and millimeters.
They are both systems of measurement in which there are sets of 7 units for measuring physical attributes of objects and derived units for measuring other attributes. For example, Basic units for mass: Kilogram (metric) or Pound (Imperial) Derived units for area: Square Metre (metric) or square inch (Imperial) Derived unit for pressure: kg / sq metre = Pascal (metric) or pounds / square inch = psi (Imperial).
ISO Inch and ISO Metric. Despite occasional efforts to convert manufacturers to the metric system, the United States remains the only country in the world still tied to the inch system.
An example of the English system is using inches for measuring length, pounds for measuring weight, and Fahrenheit for measuring temperature. The metric system, on the other hand, uses centimeters for length, kilograms for weight, and Celsius for temperature.
It is an anachronism .... Most of the world has switched to the metric system now, even the US is supposed to use it, but still refuses. The "Imperial" System is complicated. 1 foot = 12 inch 1 yard = 3 foot 1 mile = 1760 yard and it uses weird fractions like 7/64 inch while the metric system is more logical 1 mm = 1000 µm 1 m = 1000 mm 1 km = 1000 m
The modulus of elasticity, or Young modulus, has dimensions of force per area In English system that is pounds per square inch; in metric system that is newtons per per square meter, or Pascals
