Weights and Measures

Standard units may be understood in two senses. The first sense is the general conceptual sense, as regarding standardized units used for consistent measurement.

A standardized unit of measurement
The process of standardization of units of measurement

Most countries in the world use standardized units from of the metric system:

International System of Units or SI, (abbreviated from the French {{lang|fr|Système international}}), the modern form of the metric system.

The second meaning of standard unit refers to a unit of particular set of units of measurement called the standard system (versus the metric system). The standard system includes the standard units of the foot, the pound (mass), and the gallon. The United Kingdom and the United States both make, or have in the past made, use of the standard system. However, each country defines them slightly differently:

United States customary units, used predominantly in the United States
Imperial units, used predominantly in Britain

Other Use
