There isn't one.

The US uses a version of the Imperial system which is, in some respects, peculiar to the US. Burma, Another Country that has not adopted the SI system has its own system. I am not familiar with Liberia, the other large country that does not use the SI.

Within the US, most scientists usually use the SI system - unless they want to put their name to spectacular disasters like NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter! Most industries, if they trade internationally will use the SI system.


So it is only some die-hard troglodytes that do not use the SI system.
