Swedish/English System

The Swedish/English measurement systems differ mainly in units used for length, weight, and volume. Sweden traditionally uses the metric system (meters, kilograms, liters), while the UK and US use the imperial system (feet, pounds, gallons). The Swedish/European system standardizes measurements globally, making conversions straightforward: 1 meter = 100 centimeters, 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds, 1 liter ≈ 0.26 gallons. Understanding these differences helps in accurately interpreting measurements across systems, especially in international contexts like travel, trade, or scientific work.
