Introduction

Although metrics have been used internationally in scientific fields for many years, the push to convert the world to exclusively using the metric system only began in the 1970s.

Today many countries have adopted an exclusively metric system of measurement. The United States, however, remains one of the last countries in the world to go fully metric.

As a result much confusion still exists. Now, more than ever, people need information on metrics in a form that relates directly to them in their personal and professional lives.

This website has been designed to meet these demands.

Metrication is the process of converting to the metric system.
