The British standard ordnance weights and measurements for the artillery were established by the Master General of Ordnance in 1764, and these were not altered until 1919 when the metric system was additionally introduced. This system has largely been replaced by defining the weapon in terms of the measurement of the calibre, which is the standard today for most weapon systems in use by the world's armed forces. The table below lists the metric and Imperial calibres of various British weapons, which utilised the standard after 1919:

has abstract	The British standard ordnance weights and measurements for the artillery were established by the Master General of Ordnance in 1764, and these were not altered until 1919 when the metric system was additionally introduced. This system has largely been replaced by defining the weapon in terms of the measurement of the calibre, which is the standard today for most weapon systems in use by the world's armed forces. The 18th century standards were based on projectile weight, and dated back to use of muzzle loaded cannons which fired solid cannonballs. The designations bore only an approximate relationship to the actual weight of the projectile when it was applied to modern artillery. The table below lists the metric and Imperial calibres of various British weapons, which utilised the standard after 1919: (en) La British standard ordnance weights and measurements è un documento che venne emanato dal Master General of Ordnance britannico nel 1764 e consisteva in una tabella di misure di proiettili che rimase inalterata de facto sino al 1919 quando venne affiancata dal sistema metrico decimale tradizionale. Attualmente il sistema è stato completamente soppiantato dal calibro che rientra nel metodo di valutazione della grandezza dei proiettili di tutti gli eserciti del mondo. La tabella che segue equipara il sistema tradizionale britannico di calibro equiparato con il sistema metrico decimale entrato in uso dal 1919: (it)
