The New Kilogram

SI Redefinition

Kilogram: Mass and Planck's Constant

In 2018 when the kilogram will be redefined, the Technische Universität Ilmenau and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (the National Metrology Institute of Germany) will have developed the balance which is required for measuring: the Planck balance. This highly precise electronic weighing balance does not measure, as up to now, on the basis of the original kilogram using weights but refers to the fundamental physical constant: the Planck's constant.
