In 1958 werd, met inwerkingtreding vanaf 1 juli 1959, internationaal afgesproken dat de inch exact 2,54 cm bedraagt. Hiervan wijkt de Amerikaanse landmetingsinch (<i>US survey inch</i>) af: deze is exact 100 ⁄ 3937 m ofwel ca. 2,540 005 080 010 cm. Voor 1959 weken de Amerikaanse lengtematen licht af van de Britse. </p><p>Vroeger hanteerde men een <a href="/wiki/Zeemijl" title="Zeemijl">zeemijl</a>, vaak aangeduid als de <i>Admiralty mile</i>, die precies 800 <i>voet</i> langer was dan de <a href="/wiki/Mijl" title="Mijl">landmijl</a> en daarmee overeen kwam met 1853,184 meter. De internationale zeemijl (<i>International nautical/sea mile</i>) is intussen (1929, VS 1954) vastgelegd op exact 1852 m en de <a href="/wiki/Kabellengte" title="Kabellengte">kabellengte</a> op 185,2 m. Deze <i>cable length</i> kan worden benaderd met 100 <i>fathoms</i> (182,88 m) of 120 <i>fathoms</i> (219,456 m) bij de <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">US Navy</a>. <i>Fathoms</i> (nl: <a href="/wiki/Vadem" title="Vadem">vadems</a>) worden alleen nog bij dieptemeting in water gebruikt; de <i>shackle</i> ofwel <i>naval shot</i> bestaat praktisch niet meer, hoewel deze Britse maateenheid nog in 1949 van 12½ naar 15 <i>fathom</i> werd verhoogd. </p><p>Voor speciale toepassingen bestond ook nog de <i>geographical mile</i> van 6082 <i>feet</i> (1,853 793 6 km) en de <i>telegraph mile</i> van 6087 <i>feet</i> (1,855 317 6 km). </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption><b>Lengtematen</b> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Eenheid</th> <th>Nederlands</th>

In het Verenigd Koninkrijk is de <i>ale gallon</i> van de oorspronkelijke 277,42 kubieke inch sinds 1824 op 277,419 450 kubieke inch teruggebracht (10 <i><a href="/wiki/Pond_(massa)" title="Pond (massa)">pound</a></i> H<sub>2</sub>O bij 62 °F en een luchtdruk van 30 inch). In de VS wordt voor vloeistoffen sinds 1707 de <i>wine gallon</i> gehanteerd die 231 inch³ telt (oorspronkelijk 230,907 in³) en voor inhoudsmaten wordt de <i>corn gallon</i> van 268,8 inch³ gebruikt. </p><p>De inhoudsmaten in kubieke inch lijken misschien wat krom, maar toch steekt er meestal een bepaald concept erachter; het moet vooral makkelijk zijn om een passende maatbeker (<a href="/wiki/Cilinder_(meetkunde)" title="Cilinder (meetkunde)">cilindrisch</a> of <a href="/wiki/Balk_(geometrie)" class="mw-redirect" title="Balk (geometrie)">balkvormig (vierhoekig)</a>) te fabriceren die vaak precies waren vastgelegd. Voor de <i>wine gallon</i> voldoet een 'balkvormige' beker van 3" × 7" × 11" en voor de <i>corn gallon</i> gebruikt men een <i>Winchester-Buschel</i>, een cilinder van 18½ inch in diameter en 8 inch hoog. Hier kunnen 8 gallons in. </p><p>Het gebruik van de Britse <i>droge inhoudsmaten</i> (<i>peck</i> en <i>bushel</i>) werd in het Verenigd Koninkrijk van 1968 verboden, de <i>kenning</i> is net als de wijn-reeks <i>rundlet</i> tot <i>tun</i> al veel eerder verouderd. In de <i>Weights and Measures Act</i> van 1963 werden per 1 februari 1971 ook de kleine (Apotheker-)vloeistofmaten <i>minim</i>, <i>fluid scruple</i> en <i>fluid drachm</i> die sinds 1824 werden gebruikt, afgeschaft. </p><p>In 1995 werd het Britse vloeistof-<i>pint</i> ten behoeve van de overgang op het metrische systeem op exact 568,261 250 milliliter vastgelegd, wat een lichte afronding betekent ten opzichte van 277,42 ÷ 8 in³ (<span class="nowrap">568,262 411 860 ml</span>) en <span class="nowrap">277,419 450 ÷ 8 in³</span> (<span class="nowrap">568,261 285 249 360 ml</span>) en omgerekend een <i>gallon</i> van ca. <span class="nowrap">277,419 432 791 621 in³</span> betekent – telkens met de vandaag gebruikelijke inch van 25,4 mm. </p><p>De gebruikte eenheden hebben in beide systemen dezelfde namen (bijvoorbeeld <i>drachm</i> werd in <i>dram</i> veranderd) en doorgaans onderling dezelfde factoren (met uitzondering van de <i>barrels</i> en <i>gill</i>). Ter onderscheiding wordt eventueel met de afkorting <i>Imp.</i> resp. <i>VS</i> het gebruikte systeem aangegeven. </p><p>Opmerkelijk is dat zowel het Britse als het Amerikaanse aardolievat (<i>barrel</i>) ongeveer 159 liter bevat, terwijl het ene als 35 en het andere als 42 Gallons is gedefinieerd. Verder is de Britse vloeistof-<i>ounce</i> kleiner, maar de <i>Gill, Quart</i> en <i>Gallon</i> groter dan het Amerikaanse pendant. </p><p>In het Apothekensysteem werden alleen de <i>minim</i>, <i>scruple</i>, <i>drachm</i>, <i>ounce</i>, <i>pint</i> en <i>gallon</i> gebruikt. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tabel">Tabel</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span

Sinds 1960 is deze eenheid in de VS, Canada en het Verenigd Koninkrijk vastgelegd op 453,592 37 gram. Daarvoor was het Britse pond (sinds 1878) 32 µg lichter (namelijk 453,592 338 g) dan het in 1893 gedefinieerde Noord-Amerikaanse pond; de afwijking was slechts 0,000 007%. </p><p>Daarnaast bestaat in de <a href="/w/index.php?title=Munthandel&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Munthandel (de pagina bestaat niet)">munt</a>- en <a href="/w/index.php?title=Edelmetaalhandel&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Edelmetaalhandel (de pagina bestaat niet)">edelmetaalhandel</a> het <i>Troy</i>-systeem met een pond, dat 5760 in plaats van 7000 <i>grains</i> bevat. Tot in de 19e eeuw (UK <i>Medical Act</i> van 1858) bestond er ook een apothekersysteem, dat ook een lichtere <i>pound (Troy)</i> van 12 <i>ounces</i> (in plaats van 16 <i>ounces</i>) gebruikte. Dit systeem gebruikte verder de <i>scruple</i> en de <i>dram</i> in plaats van de <i>pennyweight</i> die door de munthandel wordt gehanteerd. </p><p>Bij de gebruikte eenheden is gewoonlijk uit de context wel duidelijk welk systeem is toegepast. Het <i>Avoirdupoids</i>-systeem kent in de VS de toevoeging <i>short</i> (kort) en in de VK <i>long</i> (lang). Indien het nodig wordt geacht ter onderscheiding van de andere systemen, kunnen deze termen vóór de eenheid worden geplaatst (zeer zelden worden de termen <i>net</i> en <i>gross</i> gebruikt) en achter de eenheid wordt dan <i>(Avoirdupois)</i> gezet. Indien één der andere systemen is gebruikt en men wil dit aangeven kan men ook hier het gebruikte systeem achter de eenheid plaatsen: <i>(Troy)</i> of <i>(apothecaries)</i>. </p><p>De eenheden <i>stone</i> en <i>hundredweight</i> werden in de Britse handel al enkele decennia voor de invoering van het <a href="/wiki/Metriek_stelsel" title="Metriek stelsel">metrische systeem</a> afgeschaft. Britten en Ieren geven hun lichaamsgewicht desondanks toch nog vaak in <i>stone</i> en <i>pound</i>, net zoals hun lengte in <i>feet</i> en <i>inch</i>. De 'lange' (<i>long</i>) eenheden komen voort uit de latere invoering van de <i>stone</i> voor 14 <i>pound</i> in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en waren daar gebruikelijker dan in de koloniën. Volgens andere bronnen zijn de <i>short</i>-eenheden het gevolg van een gedeeltelijke decimalisering van het systeem in Noord-Amerika in de 18e eeuw, naar het voorbeeld van gebruikte eenheden op het Europese vasteland, zoals diverse <i><a href="/wiki/Centenaar" title="Centenaar">centenaar</a></i> (uit het Duitse <i>Zentner</i>, van het Latijnse <i>centum</i> dat honderd betekent) en <i>Quintale</i> voor 100 pond. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption><b>Gewichten</b> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Eenheid</th> <th>Nederlands</th> <th>Afkorting</th> <th>Grootte</th> <th
