O to convert English measurements into metric ones

The conversion table was used to convert English measurements into metric ones.

Explanation:

The metric system (International System of Units) is the most common system that is recognized internationally for the measurements of mass, length, temperature, time, electric current, luminous intensity etc. This system includes the kilogram (mass), ampere (electric current), second (time), meter (distance or length) etc.

English System of Measurement (imperial system) is the measurement system defined in the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824, and used across the British Empire earlier. This system includes units such as gallons, feet, miles, pounds etc.
