In an article titled Attention to Measurement, the online version of Products Finishing, a trade magazine, this question was asked:
Why does it seem like everyone is constantly switching between standard and metric measurements? Canβt we just pick one and use it everywhere?
The article replies:
In electroplating processes, the first choice between Metric and English units often depends on the location of the plating company and the industry standards followed in that region. For example, in North America, companies generally use the English system, while in Europe and many other parts of the world, the Metric system is more common. Some industries, such as aerospace and automotive, have established specific standards that require the use of one system or the other.
After that, the author gives some useful information about the units involved, and conversions from one to the other.
"Standard"? At least the author of the article calls them English units.
