| metric | 1. Relating to measurement; involving, or proceeding by, measurement. 2. Of or pertaining to the meter as a standard of measurement; of or pertaining to the decimal system of measurement of which a meter is the unit; as, the metric system; a metric measurement. <chemistry> Metric analysis, analysis by volume; volumetric analysis. Metric system, a system of weights and measures originating in France, the use of which is required by law in many countries, and permitted in many others, including the United States and England. The principal unit is the meter (see Meter). From this are formed the are, the liter, the stere, the gram, etc. These units, and others derived from them, are divided decimally, and larger units are formed from multiples by 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000. The successive multiplies are designated by the prefixes, deca-, hecto-, kilo-, and myria-; successive parts by deci-, centi-, and milli-. The prefixes mega- and micro- are sometimes used to denote a multiple by one million, and the millionth part, respectively. See the words formed with these prefixes in the Vocabulary. For metric tables, see p. 1682. Origin: L. Metricus, Gr., cf. F. Metrique. See Meter rhythm. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| metric system | A system of weights and measures, universal for scientific use, based upon the meter, which was originally intended to be one ten-millionth of a quadrant of the earth's meridian and now is based on the length that light travels in a vacuum in a given period of time (see meter). Prefixes of the meter (and other standards) reflect either fractions or multiples of the meter and are identical to the International System of Units (see International System of Units). The unit of weight is the gram, which is the weight of one cubic centimeter of water, equivalent to 15.432358 grains. The unit of volume is the liter or one cubic decimeter, equal to 1.056688 U.S. Liquid quarts; a cubic centimeter is about 16.23073 U.S. Minims. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metric ton | (or tonne) 1000 kilograms. 1 metric ton = 2,204.62 lb = 1.023 short tons. (05 Dec 1998) |
| electro-metric | Pertaining to electrometry; made by means of electrometer; as, an electrometrical experiment. Origin: Cf. F. Electrometrique. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| metric |
The standard of measurement of a contract requirement for which a quality standard can be applied. For example, if there is a contract requirement to maintain an accurate inventory of widgets, the metric is the number of widgets accounted for. The accuracy of the widgets inventory can be compared to a standard to determine the quality of the inventory. A unique identifier of performance. A metric is what is actually measured.
