Since 1889, the kilogram had been defined by a piece of metal held in a vault in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures laboratory in France. Because it was a physical object, it was subject to environmental effects and lost 500 micrograms in weight. #SIRedefinition
While these changes won't make the weighing scales any kinder, they will be significant for industries that require accurate precision measurement. These would include medical devices, microchips and pharmaceutical products.
As an historic artefact that has been under study for 140 years, the International Prototype of the Kilogram and its copies, will continue to be important for researchers for years to come. #SIredefinition
Just as the metre - once the length of a bar of platinum-iridium, is now defined by the constant speed of light in a vacuum, the kilogram needed to be redefined in terms of something that would never change. #SIRedefinition
Today, leading metrology experts around the world will vote to redefine the kilogram based on Planck’s constant. This is a completely unchanging value that relates the energy in one quantum of electromagnetic radiation to the frequency of that radiation. #SIRedefinition
Take a weight off and listen to the Manager of the NSAI's National Metrology Laboratory Paul Hetherington, telling Drivetime why today's metric makeover is so significant. https://t.co/lEuKBMluSk
