The SI system, The International System of Units, from the French Système international d'unités

In 1960, the metre-kilogram-second system was revised to form the SI system. The SI system is built on seven basic units;

metre-length

kilogram-mass

second-time

ampere-electric current

kelvin-temperature

candela-luminous intensity

mole-amount of substance.

All other units of measure, including British Imperial and US customary, are now either derived from, of defined in terms of these seven units.
