Default Boeing and metrcication question

The thousand cubic centimeter is it. cm^3 The liter name itself is not
allowed in metric.

"revolution" isn't SI but allowed to be used with it.
right angle, degree, grad, minute, second. All non SI.
mho, current/circular mil, franklin, faraday, watthour, dyne, watt, newton, BTU,
therm, megaton TNT (4184 Terajoule) , frigorie, erg, electronvolt, watthour
calorie.
the electronvolt can be used but not SI.
dyne, angstrom, fermi, micron, caliber, point, pica, astronomical unit,
parsec, angstrom, bohr, fermi, lambert, gilbert, oersted maxwell, gauss, gamma,
bel, neper, bar, rad, Rankine, calorie, c, knot, poise, stokes, liter, and lambda.

There are many others that were specifically Imperial or American or British.

Right - that was for Canada and Mexico. One thing - a Liter is not SI

metric.
It is 'old school' metric.

But the high up managers are 'old school' so we understand!

.
You mean one liter is no longer one thousand cubic centimeters weighing one
gram each so a liter of water is one kilogram, and there are a thousand
millimeters to a meter? And one calorie is one cubic centimeter of water
heated by one degree Celsius? And one Newton is the force required to move
one kilogram of mass to a velocity of one meter per second per second? And
the circumference of the earth at the Equator is not 40,000 kilometers just
to do away with the messy Babylonian standard of 360 degrees? What happened?
