Some Facts

The pressure inside a bottle of champagne is between 400 and 600 kilopascals. It is enough to propel the cork at more than 12 m/s or 27 mph. So be careful.

Prefix

The International System of Units

The International System of Units or SI (from the French Système international (d'unité)), also called metric system in the U.S., is a coherent system of units that was published 1960. It is official in nearly every country.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) is tasked with overseeing the SI.
