When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

sistema USA o metrico
- sistema consuetudinario statunitense (con pollici, libbre...)
- sistema metrico (il nostro, con metri, chili...)
Su wikipedia trovi il nome esteso "Sistema consuetudinario statunitense", ma io ti consiglio un'espressione più breve possibile, dato che il tuo testo è un elenco di caratteristiche di un'apparecchiatura. Scegli se vuoi scrivere "USA" o "americano".
Chi legge darà facilmente per scontato che si parli di "unità di misura", quindi io non scriverei il lungo "in unità di misura dei sistemi americano e metrico".
Nella frase usi molto probabilmente la parola "sistema" in "condizioni di sistema"; sconsiglio di usare "in unità di misura americane o metriche", dato che "metrico" fa riferimento al sistema, non all'unità di misura. Una ripetizione non è scorrevole, ma la ritengo accettabile.
