That means that if two different scientists use SI units, they will use the SAME definition of the units, even if they live in different countries. In contrast, if they use "pounds" for example, this isn't the case, since different countries may use different definitions of pounds.

Why was the metric system renamed the SI system?

The metric system has not been 'renamed' SI. SI is simply the latest standardised version of the metric system.Previous standardised versions include the cgsA(centimetre, gram, second, Ampere) system, and the mksA(metre, kilogram, second, Ampere) system. Metric units (such as calories, litres, ergs, etc.) used in these systems are not used in SI.


Why is the need of si units?

SI stands for System Internationale. It allows for standardised units for certain measurements that can be understood all over the world. Whereas stones, pounds and ounces were used to weigh everything in Britain, the SI kg is coming into force. SI units are essential for science. For example, in chemistry, we wouldn't dream of using the Fahrenheit scale for measuring temperature. Either Celsius or the SI Kelvin are used instead.
