Metric system
(gcide) | Metric \Met"ric\ (m[e^]t"r[i^]k), a. [L. metricus, Gr. ?: cf. F.
m['e]trique. See Meter rhythm.]
1. Relating to measurement; involving, or proceeding by,
measurement.
[1913 Webster]
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.
[1913 Webster]
Metric analysis (Chem.), analysis by volume; volumetric
analysis.
Metric system, See metric system in the vocabulary.

Metric system
(gcide) | Metric system \Met"ric sys"tem\n.
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; the
system is also called by its French name, {Le Syst[`e]me
International de Unit['e]s} (abbreviated SI). The principal
unit of length 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, deka- (formerly deca-), hecto-, kilo-, and myria-
(seldom used); successive parts by deci-, centi-, and milli-.
The prefixes mega- and micro- are used to denote a multiple
by one million, and the millionth part, respectively; giga-
and nano- denote multiples of one billion (1,000,000,000) and
one billionth, respectively. The prefix for one trillion
(1012) is tera, and for one trillionth (10-12) is pico; for
one quintillion (1015) peta, and for (10-15) (one
quintillionth) femto; for (10-18) atto. See the words formed
with these prefixes in the Vocabulary. For metric tables, see
p. 1682.

The Dimetric system
(gcide) | Crystallization \Crys`tal*li*za"tion\
(kr[i^]s`tal*l[i^]*z[=a]"sh[u^]n), n. [Cf. F.
cristallization.]
1. (Chem. & Min.) The act or process by which a substance in
solidifying assumes the form and structure of a crystal,
or becomes crystallized; the formation of crystals.
[1913 Webster]
2. The body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on
precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The systems of crystallization are the several classes
to which the forms are mathematically referable. They
are most simply described according to the relative
lengths and inclinations of certain assumed lines
called axes; but the real distinction is the degree of
symmetry characterizing them. 1. {The Isometric
system}, or The Monometric system has the axes all
equal, as in the cube, octahedron, etc. 2. {The
Tetragonal system}, or The Dimetric system has a
varying vertical axis, while the lateral are equal, as
in the right square prism. 3. {The Orthorhombic
system}, or The Trimetric system has the three axes
unequal, as in the rectangular and rhombic prism. In
this system, the lateral axes are called, respectively,
macrodiagonal and brachydiagonal. -- The preceding are
erect forms, the axes intersecting at right angles. The
following are oblique. 4. The Monoclinic system,
having one of the intersections oblique, as in the
oblique rhombic prism. In this system, the lateral axes
are called respectively, clinodiagonal and
orthodiagonal. 5. The Triclinic system, having all
the three intersections oblique, as in the oblique
rhomboidal prism. There is also: 6. {The Hexagonal
system} (one division of which is called Rhombohedral),
in which there are three equal lateral axes, and a
vertical axis of variable length, as in the hexagonal
prism and the rhombohedron.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The Diclinic system, sometimes recognized, with two
oblique intersections, is only a variety of the
Triclinic.
