United States customary units are a system of measurements commonly used in the United States. The U.S. customary system developed from English units which were in use in the British Empire before American independence.
Scientists all over the world use the same system of units to measure physical quantities. This system is the International System of Units, universally abbreviated SI (from the French Le Systme International d'Units). This is the modern metric system of measurement.
