metric system | Definition, Facts, & History


Metric System


The metric system is a system of weight and measure which was first adopted by France. The greater part of the population in the world works on the metric system.The metric system is so called because it use the 'metre' as the primary units.


In metric system there are three principal or primary units

  1. metre
  2. litre
  3. Kilogram



Basic Standards :- 


  • 1 inch   = 25.5 mm.  =2.54 cm.
  • 1 metre  = 39.37 inch   = 1.09 yards
  • 1 litre = 1000 ml.  = 0.22 galls. (gallons)
  • 1 pound = 0.4536 kg     



The following fundamental standards or units are used in metric system ;-----


  • length                     metre
  • mass                       kilogram or gram
  • volume                   litre
  • force                       dyne on dyn
  • work & energy       erg or dyne-cm
  • heat                         calorie or gram calorie
  • power                      watt

Note :-MTS system is generally used in Engineering system

Metric Units of weights


  • 1 tonne = 1000,000 g =1000 kg.
  • 1 quintal = 100,000 g = 100 kg.
  • 1 kilogram = 1000 g   =1 kg.
  • 1 hectogram  = 100 g = 1/10  kg.
  • 1 dekagram = 10 g = 1/100 kg.
  • 1 gram         =1 g   = 1/1000 kg.
  • 1 decigram   = 1/10 g
  • 1 centgram    =  1/100 g
  • 1 milligram   = 1/1000 g

The gram is used in in weighting gold,silver,letters and small quantities of things. The kilogram is used by grocers and is the primary units of mass and the tonne is used for heavy articles.


Metric units of Length 


  • 1 megametre     = 1000,000 metres
  • 1 1 kilometre     = 1000 metre
  • 1 hectometre      = 100 metre
  • 1 deka metre      = 10 metre
  • 1 metre               = 1 metre
  • 1 decimetre        =  1/10 metre
  • 1 centimetre       =    1/100 metre
  • 1 millimetre        =    1/1000 metre
  • 1 micrometre       =    1/1000,000 metre

Conversion factors


1 foot =30.38 cm.= 0.3948 m =12 inch
1 yard = 0.9144 metre
1 mile =1.609 kilometre
1 metre= 3.28 feet =39.37 inch=1.09 yards


Metric units of Liquid measures


  • 1 kilolitre  = 1000 l
  • 1 hectolitre= 100 l
  • 1 dekalitre = 10 l
  • 1 litre        = 1000ml.
  • 1 decilitre  =   1/10 l
  • 1 centiletre = 1/100 l
  • 1 millilitre  = 1/1000 l

Anti Termite Treatment, Pre & Post Construction Termite

A.T.T  is the treatment given to the structure to protect it against Attack by subterranean termites, using a suitable chemical. The   chemical barrier   is a layer of soil in contact with the structure that has been suitably treated with approve chemical, so as to form an impervious barrier to kill that termites The following procedure of anti termite treatment to be done at the project site are based on IS 6313: 2001 The surface of the ground should be clean, compacted and firm. it should be free from any organic impurities. Safety goggles,  gloves  and face mask should be readily available at the site. The person conducting the anti termite treatment should be trained and should be wearing all the above safety gear during the operation. preliminary moisturing should be done when the soil is Sandy, loose and porous because the chemical solution may be lost due to percolation. The chemical treatment of the soil should start only after the foundation trenches and pi

Knapen system of drying walls

Principle of  Knapen system : A difference of 16 °C to 24 °C is required to displace the vitiation air from a building by means of a vertical air shaft. The Knapen Tube : The method of fixing the Knapen tube in the wall. it is a simple porous tube which is fixed with its mouth inclined outwards. As the tubes are porous the moisture of penetrates inside them. Due to difference of temperature the dry air enters in the tube from its top portion as indicated by arrow. This dry air evaporates the moisture and saturated air comes out from the lower portion of the tube. This circulation of air is due to perfectly natural laws, and remains continuous till there is any moisture left in the wall.
