As you probably know, the Measurement Language of World Trade and Commerce is the "International System of Units (SI).
Most manufacturing for Global Markets is done in Units of Measurement from the SI. For example, Almost all automobiles, trucks, agriculture and earth-moving machinery are made to SI specifications, including those made in the USA. Although federal laws declare that the International System of Units is the preferred system of units of measurement for trade and commerce *within the United States*, Federal Departments, Administrations, and Agencies are not diligently implementing this intent of Congress. Executive Order 12770 must be actively applied to move all measurement-sensitive components of the Executive Branch to full compliance with the intent of Congress, favoring the SI. Eugene A.
