Best Answer

Some US manufacturers produce products with metric specifications in order

to be able to sell them outside of the US. For day-to-day domestic activities,

however, the US remains one of 3 countries in the world that have never yet

converted to the metric (SI) system, of measurements.

(The other two industrial/economic powerhouse nations holding firm with the US

in the face of world pressure are Liberia and Myanmar.)
