Comment on Standard (SAE)/Metric mixed environments

Well, you assume we don’t have that problem in engineering.

Huh? What?

I’m working on finished systems designed entirely in metric, only designed with metric hardware. Installed with that metric hardware. The only way SAE hardware finds its way inside is when US technicians, who work for customers and not for my company ram it in there. Engineers are not consulted when they do this.

For example, to prevent easy access, or to required a tool that we can provide because we want the acknowledgement that access gas been required.

We just use metric security screws for most applications. Everything is supposed to be physically accessible by technicians who are theoretically qualified. Sometimes though they just aren’t.
