New Zealand uses the metric system. The basic unit of length is the meter (m) which is divided into 100 centimeters (cm), or 1000 millimeters (mm). One thousand meters make up one kilometer (km). Fluids are measured in liters (L), each divided into 1000 milliliters (ml). A liter of pure water weighs one kilogram (kg), divided into 1000 grams (g), while 1000kg make up one metric ton.
