Abstract

Different countries use different measurement systems, which can create challenges in international trade, science, and daily life. The United States primarily follows the imperial system, while Uzbekistan adheres to the metric system. The imperial system includes units such as inches, feet, pounds, and gallons, whereas the metric system is based on standardized units like meters, kilograms, and liters. The differences between these systems affect various fields, including engineering, medicine, and commerce, where precision is essential. Although digital tools and globalization have eased conversions, discrepancies still exist. While the US continues to use the imperial system in many areas, a gradual shift toward metric standardization is noticeable in scientific and industrial contexts. Uzbekistan, like most of the world, benefits from the metric system’s simplicity and global compatibility.
