This second edition of Mass Metrology: The Newly Defined Kilogram
has been thoroughly revised to reflect the recent redefinition of
the kilogram in terms of Planck's constant. The necessity of
defining the kilogram in terms of physical constants was already
underscored in the first edition. However, the kilogram can also be
defined in terms of Avogadro's number, using a collection of ions
of heavy elements, by the levitation method, or using voltage and
watt balances. The book also addresses the concepts of
gravitational, inertial and conventional mass, and describes in
detail the variation of acceleration due to gravity. Further topics
covered in this second edition include: the effect of gravity
variations on the reading of electronic balances derived with
respect to latitude, altitude and earth topography; the
classification of weights by the OIML; and maximum permissible
error in different categories of weights prescribed by national and
international organizations. The book also discusses group weighing
techniques and the use of nanotechnology for the detection of mass
differences as small as 10-24 g. Last but not least, readers will
find details on the XRCD method for defining the kilogram in terms
of Planck's constant.
