Most Americans think that our involvement with metric measurement is relatively new. In fact, the United States has been increasing its use of metric units for many years, and the pace has accelerated in the past three decades. In the early 1800's, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (the government's surveying and map-making agency) used meter and kilogram standards brought from France. In 1866, Congress authorized the use of the metric system in this country and supplied each state with a set of standard metric weights and measures. In 1875, the United States solidified its commitment to the development of the internationally recognized metric system by becoming one of the original seventeen signatory nations to the

Then look down that column until you reach the row of the unit of measure that you wish to convert to . The number at the intersection of column and row is the conversion multiplier. For example, if you know a water depth is 1230 feet and you want to convert that value into fathoms, look down the "foot" column until you find "fathom" row, where you will find the value 1.6667e-1. Multiply 1230 by 1.6667e-1 and you will find that 1230 feet equals 205 fathoms. The table is used in the same way even when the conversions are between English and Metric units of measurement. For example, if you knew a destination was 7 miles away and wanted to know the metric equivalent, look down the "miles" column until you find the "kilometers" row, and you will find the value 1.609,344. Multiplying 7 miles by 1.609,344 gives you 11.235,408 kilometers, the equivalent metric distance.

http://allrecipes.com/advice/ref/conv/conversions.asp

Extractions: Most of us are aware that different measurement systems are used in different countries (such as Imperial, US Standard, and Metric), but many people may not know that different ways of measuring ingredients are also used. The most important difference one may encounter is whether dry ingredients are measured by weight (e.g. ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms) or by volume (e.g. tablespoons, cups, milliliters, liters). For example, cooks in the United States tend to measure all ingredients by volume, while it is common in Europe to measure dry ingredients by weight and liquid ingredients by volume. To make matters even more confusing, many countries use measuring devices with similar (and sometimes even identical) names, but which are actually different in size. For example, 1 cup has the following equivalents: U.S. = 237 milliliters, U.K. = 284 milliliters, and Australia = 250 milliliters. All of the recipes at Allrecipes.com use volume measurement for ingredients. The default measurement system is US Standard, but any recipe may be converted to a metric recipe by clicking on the "Convert to Metric" link located in the left column of each recipe. The metric version is an exact conversion of the recipe from US Standard volume measures to metric measures. If you use metric measuring devices, you may also find the

It was agreed by those agencies anticipating new building projects that January, 1994, would be the target date for implementation. Federal construction is a large part of all the construction that takes place in the United States. Maybe by using the lure of Federal largesse, the construction industry will make significant moves to convert to metric. The term hard metric conversion means the conversion of inch-pound units into new, rounded, easy-to-use metric measurements.

http://www.racquetresearch.com/units.htm

Extractions: English / Metric Units of Measurement and Conversion Factors Clearly understanding the units of measurement is very important, but seldom given enough attention because the beginning student is usually hurried along through other topics. Mass is the quantity of matter in the thing you are studying. The metric unit of measurement of mass is the kilogram (kg), which is 1000 grams. The English unit is the slug, which is rarely used. The mass center of an object is where the balance point is. Weight is a force, which arises when a mass is acted on by gravity. The metric unit of weight should technically be the Newton (N), which is the unit of force, but commonly it is the kilogram of mass that is used to measure weight in the metric system because gravity is about the same everywhere on the Earth. The English unit of weight is the pound (lb). Length in the metric system is measured by meters (m), and in the English system by feet (ft). A mile is 5280 feet or 1609 meters (1.6 kilometers). Velocity is how fast something is moving in a certain direction. Remember, direction is key. You can have negative velocity if you are moving in the wrong direction. In the metric system, the unit for velocity is meters per second (m/s). In the English system, it miles per hour (mph).

The metric system grew out of a study of measurement systems by France's Paris Academy of Sciences and was adopted by the National Assembly of France in 1795. The need for standardization among countries led to the creation of an international system of metric units and practices called the System of International Units, designated SI in all languages. The metric system has emerged as the choice of all the nations in the world with the exception of three countries: Myanmar (formerly Burma), Liberia, and the United States. 1.5 Objectives.

METRIC CONVERSION - HOW SOON?
In the United States, our more recent push for metric conversion started with 1893 The United States adopts metric measurement standards for length
http://www.tfhrc.gov/pubrds/summer95/p95su14.htm

Extractions: by David Smith When guillotines fell during the French Revolution, their blades were measured in a new unit of length, centimeters, not inches. The metric system was literally a revolutionary idea, growing out of the Age of Reason and carried along with Napoleon's soldiers many kilometers, not miles, across Europe and from there to countries around the globe. In our own rational, revolutionary republic, Thomas Jefferson considered the new metric system an admirable advance over old English feet, pints, and pounds. Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams, and many other leading American thinkers and statesmen agreed. So why hasn't metric happened here? More than 200 years after the metric system began to spread throughout the world, the United States shares the dubious distinction with Burma and Liberia of being one of only three nations that have not converted to the modern metric system. As the only industrialized nation in the world that has not gone metric, the United States faces serious difficulties in international trade, information exchange, and in engineering and construction projects involving other nations. The Congress, the states, the private sector, and all the appropriate agencies of government, including the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), are trying to rectify this situation. Americans are stubborn. One of the biggest obstacles to adopting the metric system in the United States has probably been our inherent dislike for anything that divorces us from the "feel" or "sense" of our traditional values for weight, measurement, distance, and speed. An example is the resistance to the transition to metric highway signs.
