many measurement types and are not

What is the difference

STANDARD UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

standard unit-is the most commonly used unit of

measurement. These units are standardized, meaning that
everyone has the same understanding of the size, weight, and
other properties of an object.

• Standard Units of Measurement -are fixed

values and those values can not change. It is vital
that measurements have uniformity between
anyone that uses those measurements in order for
everyone to have the same sense of measurement.
International System of
Units (SI)
International System of
Units (SI)
• is more commonly referred to as the Metric
System. This is the international system for
measuring objects. Scientists and other professionals use
the SI System of Measurement to make measurements
and observations because it is the universal language of
measurement and is understood by others as a uniform
measurement system.
