Imperial and US customary measurement systems. The imperial and US customary systems of measurement are two closely inter- related systems of measurement both derived from earlier English system of measurement units which can be traced back to Ancient Roman units of measurement, and Carolingian and Saxon units of measure. US Customary units, developed and used in the United States after the American Revolution, are based on a subset of the English units used in the Thirteen Colonies, while the Imperial system of units was developed and used after 1. United Kingdom and subsequently used in the rest of the Commonwealth. US Customary units are the predominant system of units in the United States, but in all Commonwealth countries the metric system has, to varying degrees, replaced the imperial system.

Most of the units of measure have been adopted in one way or another since the Norman Conquest (1. The units of linear measure have changed the least – the yard (which replaced the ell) and the chain were measures derived in England. The foot used by craftsman supplanted the foot used in agriculture which was reduced in size by a factor of 1.
International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA) is an open access online peer reviewed international journal that publishes research. A paradigm is an accepted world view. If we do not continually question our paradigm then wider trends and movements will overtake the discipline leaving it ill.

This resulted in there being 1. The furlong and the acre, once it became a unit of the size of a piece of land rather than its value, remained relatively unchanged. In the last thousand years, three principal pound were used in England. The troy pound (5. The apothecaries and troy pounds are divided into 1.
The unit of volume, the gallon, has different values in the United States and in the United Kingdom – the US fluid gallon being about 0. US dry gallon being about 0. Both systems of measure were widely used in mechanical engineering, though not in electrical engineering.
Some units of measure such as the horsepower or the British thermal unit (BTU) have special names but by and large unit names are generated from their constituent components – for example, pounds per square inch. In contrast, the metric system has a special name for pressure—the pascal. After the United States Declaration of Independence the units of measurement in the United States developed into what is now known as customary units.
The United Kingdom overhauled its system of measurement in 1. This resulted in both countries having different gallons. Later in the century, efforts were made to align the definition of the pound and the yard in both countries by using copies of the standards adopted by the British Parliament in 1. However, these standards were of poor quality compared with those produced for the Convention of the Metre.
In 1. 96. 0 both countries agreed to common definitions of the yard and the pound based on definitions of the metre and the kilogram. This change, which amounted to a few parts per million, had little effect in the United Kingdom, but resulted in the United States having two slightly different systems of linear measure – the international system, and the surveyors system. English units of measure. They were a precursor to both the Imperial system of units (first defined in 1. United States customary units which evolved from English Units from 1.
The penny introduced by Offa was about 2. Edward the Elder increased the weight of the English penny to 2. Charlemagne, but by the time of the conquest (1. This value was subsequently called the pennyweight and formed the basis of the Troy units of weight—the troy ounce being used to this day for weighting precious metals. In the 1. 35. 0s the groat was further devalued by reducing its weight to 7. In 1. 19. 7 Richard I decreed that the measures of corn and pulse, and of wine and ale should be the same throughout all England. In the Domesday Book, the hide, an economic unit of measure was used, while there are references elsewhere relating to the furlong and to the rood that appear to be related to ploughing procedures.
Of particular interest was the rood which was 1. Some time between 1. England were radically revised by a law known as the Composition of Yards and Perches (Compositio ulnarum et perticarum). This law, attributed to either Henry III or his successor Edward I, instituted a new foot that was exactly 1.
Furlongs and rods, however, remained the same, but the rod changed from 1. The units were however redefined many times – during Henry VIII's time standard yards and ells made of brass were manufactured, during Elizabeth I's time these were replaced with standards made of bronze and in 1. In the early fourteenth century the wool trade traditionally used the avoirdupois system of weights, a process that was formalized by Edward III in 1. At the same time, the stone, when used to weigh wool, was formalized as being 1. In 1. 49. 6 Henry VII ordered that reference copies of the yard, pound and gallon should be made of brass and distributed to specified towns and cities throughout the kingdom. Agricultural produce was sold by the bushel which was based on yet another gallon – the dry gallon of 2.
Even though not explicitly permitted by statute, many markets used bushels based on weight rather than volume when selling wheat and barley. In particular, a new standard yard and troy pound were manufactured as the standards for length and weight respectively. A new measure, the imperial gallon, which replaced the many gallons in use. The bushel, which like the gallon, had definitions reflecting the various gallons, was defined as 8 imperial gallons.
The act also set up an inspectorate for weights and measures. Following a report published in 1. Unlike the previous standard, the new pound standard was a pound avoirdupois. They were accepted by an Act of Parliament as the standards for length and weight in 1.
Following the debacle over the different gallons that had been adopted by the United States and the United Kingdom thirty years earlier, one of the copies of the standard yard was offered to and accepted by the United States Government. In response to representations from traders, the stone and the hundredweight were formally defined as being 1. The act also reaffirmed the use of the brass standard yard and platinum standard pound as the standards for use in the United Kingdom, reaffirmed the use of apothecaries measures in the pharmaceutical industry, reaffirmed the 1. Troy pound from the list of legal units of measure, added the fathom to the list of legal units and fixed the ratio of metric to imperial units at one metre being equal to 3. The standard imperial yard was not stable – in 1.
Broch, director of the BIPM replied that he was not authorised to perform any such calibrations for non- member states. On 1. 7 September 1. British Government signed the convention on behalf of the United Kingdom. The 1. 83. 5 Act formally described the office and duties of Inspectors of Weights and Measures and required every borough to appoint such officers and the 1.
Act passed responsibility for weights and measures to the Board of Trade. In 1. 90. 0 the Board of Trade established the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to provide laboratory facilities for weights and measures. By the middle of the century the difference of 2 parts per million between the British and US standard yards was causing problems—in 1.
Initially this metrication was voluntary and by 1. The Weights and Measures Act of 1. Furthermore, Canada aligned her ton with US measures by cataloguing the ton of 2. Prior to their declaration of independence in 1. United States used the English system of measurement. In his response in 1.
United States. His report suggested a means of manufacturing a local standard and also left the way open for an adoption of a decimal- based system should this be appropriate. Congress did nothing, but Ferdinand Hassler, Superintendent of the East Coast survey, who in 1.
Switzerland acquired a copy of the . In 1. 81. 0 Ferdinand Hassler was dispatched to Europe by the Treasury to acquire measuring instruments and standards. Congress did nothing and in 1. Treasury adopted the yard of 3. This lack of uniformity crippled inter- state trade and in 1.
National Bureau of Standards called a meeting of the states to discuss the lack of uniform standards and in many cases, a means of regulatory oversight. A meeting was held the following year and subsequently became an annual gathering known as the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM). In 1. 91. 5 the conference published its first model standards. Other commodities at the exchange are reckoned in pounds, in short tons or in metric tons. These new units became known as the international yard and pound. Congress has neither endorsed nor repudiated this action.
Two of the earliest such units of measure to come into use were the horsepower and the degree Fahrenheit. The horsepower was defined by James Watt in 1. In 1. 77. 7 the Royal Society, under the chairmanship of Henry Cavendish, proposed the definition of the Fahrenheit scale be modified such that the temperature corresponding to the melting point of ice be 3. Both systems depend on the gravitational acceleration, and use the pound- force as the unit of force but use different approaches when applying Newton's laws of motion. In the BG system, force, rather than mass is a base unit while the slug is a derived unit of inertia (rather than mass). Both these approaches led to slight variations in the meaning of the pound- force (and also of the kilogram force) in different parts of the world. Various countries published standard values that should be used for g and in 1.
CGPM published a standard value for g that should be used in the . Following a report published in 1.
Unlike the previous standard, the new pound standard, made of platinum, was a pound avoirdupois. The new yard, slightly longer than a yard to prevent wear as was experienced with the m. Scratch marks on the plugs denoted the length of the yard. They were accepted by an Act of Parliament as the standards for length and weight in 1.
