In many ways it’s amazing that the US never got on board with the metric system. The metric system makes sense… factors of 10… what could be easier than that? Certainly not 12 inches to a foot and 16 ounces to a pound! We missed our boat in the 1970’s and 1980’s when the US government had made an effort to convert over to the metric to align with the rest of the world.

Call it what you will but the effort fell flat and here we are nearly 50 years after the passing of the Metric Conversion Act and we’re firmly rooted in the old world, imperial system. It’s fine if you only do business within the US but in our increasingly connected world, this sets up a challenge. These charts below are intended to ease the conversions for our international friends and partners.
