My interest in it is to be able to find a root source of information.places for all I care, as long as it is the definitive legal definition
Canada - Weights and Measures Act 1970-71-72 http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/W-6/101836.html
Ireland - Metrology Act 1996: http://193.120.124.98/gen531996a.html
UK - Units of Measurement Regulations 1995: www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si1995/Uksi_19951804_en_2.htm
However, in the case of the US, I kept seeing different definitions in many different legal instruments e.g. UPLR, FPLA, Handbook 130, FS 376. I don't understand why they put definitions 'on the face of' (as UK parliamentarians say) several acts. Actually, I do understand why they do it, I just think that they are wrong to make that choice.
I simply wanted a single US legal source for the basic non-metric definitions as I can with Canada, Ireland, and UK. It could have 42 decimal

I suggest that you use NIST Special Publication 811, Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI).
