A number of units were used to measure mass. One oke was equal to 1.248 kg, according to the metric equivalences defined in 1891. [1] [2] Some other units according to the metric equivalences defined in 1891 are given below: [1] [2] 1 kirat = 1 ⁄ 6400 oke 1 dirhem = 1 ⁄ 400 oke 1 miskal = 8 ⁄ 800 oke 1 okieh = 0.03 oke 1 rotoli = 0.36 oke ...
Metric units are units based on the metre, gram or second and decimal (power of ten) multiples or sub-multiples of these. According to Schadow and McDonald, [1] metric units, in general, are those units "defined 'in the spirit' of the metric system, that emerged in late 18th century France and was rapidly adopted by scientists and engineers.

An SI derived unit is a named combination of base units such as hertz (cycles per second), newton (kg⋅m/s 2), and tesla (1 kg⋅s −2 ⋅A −1) and in the case of Celsius a shifted scale from Kelvin. Certain units have been officially accepted for use with the SI.
While metric use is mandatory in some countries and voluntary in others, all countries have recognised and adopted the SI, albeit to different degrees, including the United States. As of 2011, ninety-five percent of the world's population live in countries where the metric system is the only legal system of measurement. [3]: p. 49, ch 2

The litre was redefined as volume of 1 kg of water. Clarified that kilograms are units of mass, "standard weight" defined, standard acceleration of gravity defined endorsing use of grams force and making them well-defined. 4th [20] (1907) The carat was defined as 200 mg. 5th [21] (1913) The International Temperature Scale was proposed.
