If a scientist says, "I measured a horse, and it was 20 hands tall," then other scientists will know the exact height of the horse if hands is a standard unit of measurement. However, if the term hands can mean a lot of different things depending upon whose hands are used, then other scientists will not know the height of the horse as accurately.
So that people's observations can be compared to those of others. For instance, if someone reported that if they gave a horse a bit of barley and it ran very fast, that would hardly be useful if you wanted to find out how efficiently horses can use barley, would it?
Standardisation allows us to understand exactly how much of any given unit is used or reached, so that we can progress past "lots" and " a long way" and can be exact
The standred units of measurments are important to scientists because they are the same measurments that all scientist take to make sure that they all have the correct results.
because they use them

If they are sensible, they will use those units defined and agreed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), as these will be universally understood and normally are required to be used in scientific publications.
SI units of measurements are helpful because they help people to have a common reference point when discussing something. They can exchange ideas about measurements even if they are working from different backgrounds.
The metric system of measurement is internationally recognized and is the standard for measurements within the scientific community . It is internationally recognized and used the world over. It is also easier and more intuitive in that it is based on divisions and multiples of ten.
The Imperial system of measurements, originally used in England.
Units and Numbers ~ Good luck
Simply to make a series of 'standard' measurements that are recognised in any country.
Scientists use the metric or SI units of measurement.
SI units
It is a fundamental requirement of scientific research that experiment can be replicated so that other experimenters can validate results. This would be impossible unless scientists used standard units and methods of measurement.
SI stands for standard international (metric) units. These are the meter, gram, liter, and second.
They use scientific notation for very large or very small measurements

When using shortening for cooking or when baking there are standard units of measurements. The units of measurements are cups, tablespoon and teaspoons.
Standard units are used for measurements. it is taken as a fundamental unit.
You presuppose that scientists think in the same restricted way as the rest of the population.
If they are sensible, they will use those units defined and agreed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), as these will be universally understood and normally are required to be used in scientific publications.
SI units such as kilograms, meters, liters etc
