Nonetheless, the residual and irreducible instability of a physical IPK undermined the reliability of the entire metric system to precision measurement from small (atomic) to large (astrophysical) scales. [39] By avoiding the use of an artefact to define units, all issues with the loss, damage, and change of the artefact are avoided. [1]: 125
English: Countries using the metric, US customary and imperial systems of units as of 2019. Only the USA uses the US customary system; Liberia, Samoa, Palau, Micronesia, and Marshall Islands use unknown (i.e. it is unclear which system they use) non-metric systems; it is impossible to clearly determine which system Myanmar uses; the UK and Canada use a mixture of imperial and metric systems.
