Metrication in Chile refers to the process of converting measurements and units from the imperial system to the metric system. This transition began in the 19th century and was largely completed in the mid-20th century, aligning with international trends promoting the metric system as a standard. In Chile, metrication involved adopting units such as meters, liters, and kilograms for length, volume, and weight, respectively. The goal was to improve consistency, efficiency, and compatibility with global trade and scientific research.
