SI, the abbreviation for Systeme International (French), refers to the International System of Weights and Measures and is commonly referred to as the metric system. It includes the standard units of measurement used in most countries except the U.S.
The SI system - International System, after its name in French.
SI is also known as The International System of Units Please, do not mistake SI for the former, now obsolete, designation 'metric system'
The metric system is called the International System of units. In Europe, the French oversee the system, and the name is Le Système international d'unités (SI).So It can be called the metric system, the IS system, or the SI system.
metric which is; 'System Internationale' or 'SI'.
The International System of Units (Système international d'unités), known by its abbreviation, the SI system.
The metric system is the preferred system of scientific units for several reasons.The metric-based Système International or SI units are used to standardize the report or calculation of scientific quantities.

Metric system simply refers to a system of measurement in which the values are decimalized (i.e. one unit differs from another by a power of 10). The metric system commonly used in the world today is referred to by many scientists as "SI" which is short for Systeme International d'Unites, French for International System of Units.
No, not all metric units are part of the International System of Units (SI). The SI is a coherent system of units derived from the metric system, but it is more specific and defined, and not all metric units are included in the SI.
There have been several metric systems; the current official system used world-wide is called SI - Sistème International.
I think you are referring to SI, the international standard of measurement units agreed upon by the international scientific community. SI does not stand for the metric system per se, but it is not surprising that all of the SI units are metric since the world's preference for the metric system is almost universal. Currently there are only three countries in which the metric system is not the standard system of measurements.
