decimalisation (disambiguation)

Decimalisation or decimalization is the conversion of a measurement system to units of decimal (base ten) form, instead of traditional units of other forms, such as those formed by successive doubling or halving. For example, a series of (1000, 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001) instead of (16, 8, 4, 2, 1, {{frac|1|2}}, {{frac|1|4}}, {{frac|1|8}}, {{frac|1|16}}, {{frac|1|32}}, {{frac|1|64}}). Thus the word may refer to:

Decimalisation of currencies
Decimalisation of physical measurements (such as distance or weight), intimately bound historically with metrication
Decimalisation of time units
Decimalisation of the time of day via decimal time systems
Decimalisation of the calendar via decimal calendar systems
