Metric System Day
D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

This holiday takes place on April 7 every year. Now often used as a synonym for the International System of Units (or SI), the metric system is a system of measurement used in most countries of the world except the USA and a few other countries.
The metric system was introduced by France in 1795 and it’s an original, decimal-based measurement format based on meters and kilograms.
Base units include kilograms, meters, and liters. The metric system also uses the Kelvin/Celsius scale to measure the temperature.
