It's called the metric system. No feet/inches, really. In fact, it's like meters, mL, seconds, degrees Celsius, etc.
Scientist use the metric system, since it is a universal standard. It makes it easier to compare results worldwide.

Mathematical Figures Are Universal &&;nd Can Be Understood By Other Scientists
The metric system is almost always used. Not only is it very universal (used globally), but it's far easier to record precise measurements.
to share their data
Scientists measure as much as they can, because all measurements give potentially useful data. Weight is measured with scales, temperature is measured with thermometers, size is measured with measuring tapes, brightness is measured with photometers, volume is measured with graduated cylinders, radiation is measured with Geiger counters, and so forth, there are lots more things to measure and ways to measure those things.
by using the matric system
So other scientist will be able to undestand and retest the data
Metric system
After the experiment, scientists organize and analyze the data.
Almost all real science involves measurements. A universal system of measurement is necessary, or at least very very convenient, in science, in order to make it possible for different scientists to tell each other about their work ... what they did and what the results were ... and even for different scientists in different places to work together on the same thing. The universal system that's used in today's world is the "SI" system, or the "metric" system. Look it up and read about it, either on line or in a real book, to learn about its units. Here are three of them to get you started: -- the Meter -- the Kilogram -- the Second
