The SI is a well-defined set of standards for measurement that can be checked for accuracy by various methods.
This means that all measurements can be compared with confidence: if I invent a new alloy with a particular strength, you can make that alloy and rely on the strength being the same as the value I stated.
Prior to the SI, there were several different sets of measures, and people needed to convert between them, such as converting from pounds weight to kilograms, or back the other way.
Mistakes in calculations could have dangerous outcomes, such as converting ounces to grams or grams to ounces for medicines. Get that wrong, and you would either have no effect (dose too low), or dangerous/deadly effects (dose too high).
The metric system, also known as the SI system of units, is the system most typically used in the science community.
with the development in the field of science and technology,the need for a commonly acceptable system of units was seriously felt all over the world particularly to exchange scientific and technical information
4 oz is an inappropriate measurement in a science experiment because it is not an SI (System International) unit. The SI unit for mass is the kg.
SI units are standardized among most countries which allows measurements done in one to be valid and reproducible in any other participating country. Not all countries use there units, most noticeably the USA and Great Britain.
The metric system is the preferred system of scientific units for several reasons.The metric-based Système International or SI units are used to standardize the report or calculation of scientific quantities.
a system of measurement for science, industry and commerce
because it shows the measurements in physical science
Si unit
The metric system, also known as the SI system of units, is the system most typically used in the science community.
SI is the system of standard units used in science. An abbreviation for Systeme Internationaland and is the basis of the metric system.
ANSWER: It stands for Systeme Internationale
A system of measurement is a set of units of measurement which can be used to specify anything which can be measured and were historically important, regulated and defined.Two major system of measurements in science are S.I baseunits and S.I derived units.
SI units are more accurate than English system units
International System. (in French in the original.) a.k.a. the metric system.
That is called SI, which (in French) is short for International System.
The International System of units (SI units)
The Metric system ex: centermeters, milliliters , and grams
