❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does the United States use Imperial units while most of the world uses Metric?

The Metric system, developed in France during the 1790s, is based on powers of 10. The US adopted customary units based on historical British imperial standards and retains them due to legacy manufacturing and infrastructure costs.
