As I remember from grade school back in the 1960's I believe it was called:
"Units and Standards"
We refer to the U.S. measurement system today as the "Standard Measurement,"
"US Standard," "English Units," "US Customary Units," and "Imperial Units."
We Americans use any system of measurement we feel like using at the time.
Most people, most of the time, use "Imperial" measurements of feet, gallons and pounds rather than the "Metric" system of meters, liters, and grams. However, every car's speedometer is readable either way, and many Americans are equally comfortable in either.
The US has two: the English system of measurement (inches,ounces) and the American engineering system (ft,cubic feet). The examples represent a typical base unit used in each system (length,volume)
the measurement system used in the united states is the metric system.
