METRIC SYSTEM

In Colombia the International Unit System (IUS), heir to the metric system, is used. Measurements for distances are derived from the meter (centimetres -cm-, metres -m- kilometres -km-) and for mass the from the kilogramme (gram -g- kilogram -kg-, tonne-t). The unit of measurement for speed is the kilometre per hour (km / h); the temperature is Celsius or Centigrade (° C) and the volume level is the litre (l). Informally measures such as the pound (equivalent to 500 grams or 1/2 pound) and bushel (12.5 kg) were used. Inches, feet, yards, pounds, ounces, miles, and degrees Fahrenheit are rare, but are used in some imported appliances.
