DISSEMINATING FROM THE KIBBLE BALANCE TO INDUSTRY

P. Potgieter, S. Davidson, I. Robinson, J. Berry
Abstract:
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, h. 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.
