It is easier to list the countries that don't officialy use the metric system. Of the almost 200 countries in the world:
- Only a few small countries (some Caribbean nations heavily influenced by America), have not formally adopted the use of SI.
- The USA is the only significant holdout.
What else can I help you with?
Do most countries use metric system?
Yes, most countries around the world use the metric system as their standard system of measurement. The metric system is a decimal-based system that is widely adopted in many countries for its ease of use and consistency.
What countries use both the metric and customary system?
The United States is one of the few countries that officially uses both the metric and customary system of measurement. Myanmar uses a combination of both systems as well.
How many countries have not officially adopted the metric system of measurement?
As of now, only three countries have not officially adopted the metric system: the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar. While the U.S. uses the imperial system predominantly, it also allows for metric measurements in certain contexts. Liberia and Myanmar have historically used non-metric systems but have shown interest in transitioning to the metric system.
Are all metric units also system international?
No, not all metric units are part of the International System of Units (SI). The SI is a coherent system of units derived from the metric system, but it is more specific and defined, and not all metric units are included in the SI.
What countries use metric system and what countries use customary system?
Only the U.S.A. uses the customary system. Myanmar(Burma) and Liberia both use the old UK Imperial system, which uses the same names for units as the customary, but assigns them different sizes. The whole of the rest of the world uses metric.

Canada's Legal system of measurement?
In some countries as Canada (ancient British colonies) the degree Fahrenheit is used.
What countries use the metric system gram?
Most countries in the world use the metric system, and consequentially use the gram. The EU uses the gram, as well as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. There are many countries that use the gram, and thus, it would be very difficult to name them all.
How many countries use metric units?
The international system of units is practically legal in all the countries; but some countries as United States, United Kingdom and the old colonies of US and UK refuse this system.
The metric system is only used in France?
No, even the US uses the metric system (although we retain traditional units for many purposes). Even the traditional units used in the US use the metric system as their calibration standards (eliminating the older independant traditional standards). I have an 1877 Arithmetic schoolbook which has a section on using the metric system that was used in US grade schools at that time. (this copy was used by my grandmother and her sister when they were in grade school)
What countries use metric system and what countries use customary system?
Only the U.S.A. uses the customary system. Myanmar(Burma) and Liberia both use the old UK Imperial system, which uses the same names for units as the customary, but assigns them different sizes. The whole of the rest of the world uses metric.
Why is metric system used?
The metric system is widely used because it is international (used in many different countries) and use units not based on anthropomorphic measures like foot and is based on decimal arithmetic considered easier for calculation..
Why metric system is wide used?

Can World trade be converted to the metric system?
Yes, world trade can be converted to the metric system. Many countries already use the metric system as their standard for trade and commerce. Converting to the metric system can promote uniformity and efficiency in international trade transactions.
