NIST MISE EN PRATIQUE FOR THE REALIZATION AND DISSEMINATION OF THE REDEFINED KILOGRAM

Abstract:
The kilogram will soon be realized in terms of the Planck constant within a vacuum environment. This realization must be transferred to air and then disseminated to the international measurement community. This paper describes the NIST implementation of a mise en pratique for the future realization and dissemination of the kilogram using a watt balance and a unique vacuum-to-air transfer method based on a magnetic suspension technique.
