DISSEMINATING FROM THE KIBBLE BALANCE TO INDUSTRY

P. Potgieter, S. Davidson, I. Robinson, J. Berry

Abstract

<p>The SI unit of mass, the kilogram, was redefined on 20 May 2019. The new definition is made in terms of the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, <i>h</i>. The kilogram no longer takes traceability from the International Prototype of the kilogram and therefore a new system of traceability and dissemination must now be established to ensure reliable and repeatable measurements for industry. Two methods of dissemination will be compared and evaluated.</p>
