== Imperial and U.S. customary units ==

 

 

U.S. customary units, however, are still the main system of measurement in the [[United States]]. While some steps towards [[metrication]] have been made (mainly in the late 1960s and early 1970s), the customary units have a strong hold due to the vast industrial infrastructure and commercial development. The effort is proceeding slowly due to the overwhelming financial cost of converting the existing infrastructure. U.S. companies which trade internationally are more likely to use the metric system due to international standards and certifications such as [[ISO9000]]. The metric system is preferred in certain fields such as [[science]], [[වෛද්‍ය විද්‍යාව]], [[technology]] and the [[Armed Forces of the United States|military]]. The building profession uses US customary units, though architects working internationally are increasingly adapting to the metric system.
