This book presents the practical aspects of mass measurements.
Concepts of gravitational, inertial and conventional mass and
details of the variation of acceleration of gravity are described.
The Metric Convention and International Prototype Kilogram and BIPM
standards are described. The effect of change of gravity on the
indication of electronic balances is derived with respect of
latitude, altitude and earth topography. The classification of
weights by OIML is discussed. Maximum permissible errors in
different categories of weights prescribed by national and
international organizations are presented. Starting with the
necessity of redefining the unit kilogram in terms of physical
constants, various methods of defining the kilogram in terms of
physical constants are described. The kilogram can be defined by
Avogadro's constant, ion collection of some heavy elements,
levitation, voltage and Watt Balance. The detection of very small
mass of the order of zeptogram through Nanotechnolgy is also
discussed. Latest recommendations of CIPM are given.
