Which unit of measure is used the most in science and engineering around the world?

Answer 1

The unit of measurement used depends on what is being measured. For example, mass can be measured in grams (not pounds or ounces); length can be measured in inches, miles, meters; volume can be measured in gallons, liters, etc.

The metric system is most widely used, used in every country with the exception of America and Belize.

Although scientists and engineers have adopted the metric units as a standard, there are two different sets of metric systems that are employed based on the application. Those dealing with small units of length or mass tend to use the CGS system, while those dealing with large quantities tend to use the MKS system. Here, "CGS" stands for "centimeter-gram-second" and "MKS" stands for "meter-kilogram-second."

With industry heading more and more toward globalization, metric is becoming the standard throughout companies despite the failure of the United States to switch to the metric system because of the cost to change road signs, cars, and such.

The Metric System is much easier to convert into larger and smaller units.

Depends entirely on the size of the thing in question:-

If it's designed to go on the circuit board, nanometers

If it's around the size of your hand, millimeters.

If it's greater than a mile, I would suspect that it'd be meters.

So for around the world, millimeters for a general role. Nanometers used for components produced en mass. And Meters for construction.

Answer 2

The unit of measurement that is used the most in science and engineering around the world is the meter and variations of the meter. Variations include the centimeter and millimeter.
