the two system of measure being used today are the metric system and the british system. The metric system has been adopted by majority of the nations because it is easier to convert from one unit to another. Example of standard units of measure in the metric system are..
set A.
for length ...meter(m)....centimeter(cm)
for mass...kilogram(kg)....
A standard unit of measurement is the unit (size or quantity) that is agreed upon in that nation or trading partnership.
In science the standard units of measurement are called SI units. (An international standard). This is the metric system.
It is an antiquated system of measurement based which has long been replaced by the SI system or metric system. The US, Liberia and Burma are the only major countries still to cling on the the customary system, although other countries have held on to it in some respects (for example UK still uses miles).
The serious weakness in the customary system is that the measurement units are linked by a whole range of different factors. For example:
2 pints in a quart
3 feet in a yard
4 quarts in a gallon
6 feet in a fathom
8 furlongs in a mile
12 inches in a foot
14 pounds in a stone
16 ounces in a pound
20 fl ounces in a pint
The metric system, on the other hand, relies on multiples and factors of 10. Only one set of tables to learn and, after the one-times table, it must be the simplest!
There are also other issues such as the fact that the US gallon is not the same as the UK gallon. The ounce is both a measure of mass and of volume and mean different things in the two contexts. And even in the case of mass there is the Troy and the Avoirdupois ounces.
The world-wide standard is the SI ("International System"), sometimes known as the "metric system" (although "metric system" includes some older systems of units). The SI includes units such as the meter for length, and the kilogram for mass.
The metre is the international standard base unit of length, the kilogram the unit of mass, and the second the unit of time. There are so many quantities that can be measured, a listing of standard and derived basic units would be rather long.

standard unit of measurements are the units of measurement which are used internationally.Ex-meter,gram,second,kelvin etc.
there is the melons of the great Ahmid, the tweenkie univereseal of dirt, and the octo-sausage system of egg plants
It is the measurement of some characteristic in terms of units that are standardised: that is, agreed by a large number of people.
The Metric System
Standard measurements make it easier for everyone to know what that measurement means. The metric system, which is the standard system used by scientists, is specifically designed to be easy to use. The English system is much more complicated, mathematically.

Standard units of measurement allow other people to know what you mean when you use those units. To make this recipe you need four ounces of butter. OK, we know how much that is. If we had no standard units, it would be very hard to accurately convey exactly how much butter the recipe requires. And then what would your cookies taste like?
two units of measurements are MKS and CGS systems
If I offered to sell you gold at a price of 100 dollars per glunk, would you buy some from me? Perhaps not if the guy along the street is selling it at 99 dollars per doinck. Perhaps you would demand a standard system of measurement?
Most of the world uses the metric system for measurement.

Established in 1960 by the international agreement, the "Metric System" is the international standard of measurement.
Yes.
True.
the si system of measurement is the standard set of units accepted throughout the world.
I am not sure what is a measurement standard is?
