Meterkonventionen (fransk: Convention du Mètre) af 20. maj 1875 er en international teknisk videnskabelig traktat mellem en række nationer, som førte til at metersystemet blev indført. Konventionen fastlægger de grundlæggende forudsætninger for at målinger skal kunne være ensartede over hele verden. Meterkonventionen er således selve grundlaget for SI-systemet og bygger på franske forskningsstudier af meteren som ny måleenhed i slutningen af 1700-tallet. Frankrig var den første nation som tog metersystemet i brug (i praksis allerede fra 1812).
I USA lever fod og mil i bedste velgående, til trods for at USA underskrev Meterkonventionen i 1875.[1] Tilpasningen er meget kostbar og langsom. Det siges at "They approach the metric system - inch by inch".
Danmark underskrev Meterkonventionen i begyndelsen i 1875. Her bandt Danmark og de 50 andre underskrivere sig til at benytte det metriske SI-system. Nye definitioner af enheder og nye, nøjagtigere værdier af naturkonstanter vedtogs i Meterkonventionens øverste organ, Generalkonferencen (Comité International des Poids et Mesures, CIPM), som træder sammen hvert fjerde år. Under konventionen drives et udøvende organ, Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) i Paris, med tilhørende internationalt forskningslaboratorium. BIPM har hovedkvarter i Sevres nær Paris. Det finansieres af Meterkonventionens medlemslande i fællesskab og drives under overvågning af CIPM. BIPMs mandat er at skaffe basis for et fælles målesystem verden over, sporbart til de internationale SI-enheder. Deltagerlandene i Meterkonventionen har et eller flere nationale måletekniske laboratorier, og der er indgået aftaler om gensidig anerkendelse af laboratoriernes kompetence og kalibreringsbeviser. Aftalen kaldes ”Mutual recognition arrangement” (MRA) og blev indgået i 1999.
MRA'en indebærer for deltagerne:
- De skal regelmæssigt deltage i sammenlignende målinger, ”interkompareringer” (”key-comparisons”) for at demonstrere sine kompetencer.
- Resultaterne fra interkompareringene på nøgleområder og ”bedste måleevne” offentliggøres i en database som publiceres på BIPMs hjemmeside.
- Laboratorierne skal kvalitetssikres efter ISO/IEC 17025.
Meterkonventionen har 10 ”konsultative komitéer” for forskellige fagområder.
Historiske definitioner
Den første standardmeter blev støbt i bronze i Frankrig i 1795. I 1799 blev en prototype på en meter fremstillet i platin. I 1889 blev den første internationale prototype på en meter lavet i en legering af platin og iridium.
Definitionen på "1 meter" har ændret sig igennem årene:
| År | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1791 | Den franske nationalforsamling accepterede 30. marts et forslag fra det franske videnskabsakademi om at en meter skal tilsvare en ti-milliontedel af en længdegrad (afstanden fra nordpolen til ækvator gennem Paris). |
| 1906 | 1 000 000/0,64384696 bølgelængder af den røde linje i kadmiumspektrumet i luft. |
| 1960 | 1 650 763,73 bølgelængder af ioniserende stråling produceret af et krypton-86-atom som går fra energiniveauet 2p10 til 5d5 |
| 1983 | Strækningen lys forplanter sig i vakuum i løbet af nøjagtig 1/299 792 458 sekund |

Flag of Iran. The tricolor flag was introduced in 1906, but after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the Arabic words 'Allahu akbar' ('God is great'), written in the Kufic script of the Qur'an and repeated 22 times, were added to the red and green strips where they border the white central strip and in the middle is the emblem of Iran (which is a stylized Persian alphabet of the Arabic word Allah ("God")).
The official ISIRI standard (translation at FotW) gives two slightly different methods of construction for the flag: a compass-and-straightedge construction used for File:Flag of Iran (official).svg, and a "simplified" construction sheet with rational numbers used for this file.
Flag of Portugal, created by Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro (1857–1929), officially adopted by Portuguese government in June 30th 1911 (in use since about November 1910). Color shades matching the RGB values officially reccomended here. (PMS values should be used for direct ink or textile; CMYK for 4-color offset printing on paper; this is an image for screen display, RGB should be used.)

The national flag of Kingdom of Thailand since September 2017; there are total of 3 colours:
- Red represents the blood spilt to protect Thailand’s independence and often more simply described as representing the nation.
- White represents the religion of Buddhism, the predominant religion of the nation
- Blue represents the monarchy of the nation, which is recognised as the centre of Thai hearts.

Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.

The flag of the Dominican Republic has a centered white cross that extends to the edges. This emblem is similar to the flag design and shows a bible, a cross of gold and 6 Dominican flags. There are branches of olive and palm around the shield and above on the ribbon is the motto "Dios,Patria!, Libertad" ("God, Country, Freedom") and to amiable freedom. The blue is said to stand for liberty, red for the fire and blood of the independence struggle and the white cross symbolized that God has not forgotten his people. "Republica Dominicana". The Dominican flag was designed by Juan Pablo Duarte, father of the national Independence of Dominican Republic. The first dominican flag was sewn by a young lady named Concepción Bona, who lived across the street of El Baluarte, monument where the patriots gathered to fight for the independence, the night of February 27th, 1844. Concepción Bona was helped by her first cousin María de Jesús Pina.

Computer generated image of International Prototype Metre bar, made of 90% platinum - 10% iridium alloy. This was the standard of length for the SI (Metric system) from 1889 until 1960, when the SI system changed to a new definition of length based on the wavelength of light emitted by krypton 86. The length of the metre was defined by the distance between two fine lines ruled on the central rib of the bar near the ends, at the temperature of freezing water. The bar was given an X (Tresca) cross-sectional shape to increase its stiffness-to-weight ratio, improve its thermal accommodation time, and so the graduation lines could be located on the "neutral" axis of the bar where the change in length with flexure is minimum. The prototype was made in 1889, its length made equal to the previous French standard "Metre of the Archives". Twenty-nine identical copies were made at the same time, which were calibrated against the prototype and distributed to nations to serve as national standards.
The main problem with defining the unit of length by an artifact such as a bar is that there is no foolproof way of detecting a change in its length due to age or misuse. It can be compared to other copies, but these themselves may have changed in length. This motivated the 1960 change to a definition based on light waves. The bar is now kept in the collection of the BIPM museum.
