Product Information

The pound is a useful unit of mass as well. It is most common in the imperial and United States customary law. There are different kinds of pounds with the most common one being the avoirdupois pound.

The realist foam of the pound was the merchant pound, this however was adopted by many different countries which then gave rise to the different kinds of pounds: The magnitude of the kilogram has been defined as the mass of an object called the international prototype of kilogram. The original IPK is made of platinum alloy and stored in a place near Paris.There are various sisters to the original prototype found in different parts of the world. To convert among any units in the left column, say from A to B, you can multiply by the factor for A to convert A into grams then divide by the factor for B to convert out of grams. Or, you can find the single factor you need by dividing the A factor by the B factor. Pounds are however only used in the informal sense unless they are converted to grams because the European Union does not recognize it is a sanctioned weight for trade. The pound (abbreviation: lb) is a unit of mass or weight in a number of different systems, including English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units. Its size can vary from system to system. The most commonly used pound today is the international avoirdupois pound. The international avoirdupois pound is equal to exactly 453.59237 grams. The definition of the international pound was agreed by the United States and countries of the Commonwealth of Nations in 1958. In the United Kingdom, the use of the international pound was implemented in the Weights and Measures Act 1963. An avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces and to exactly 7,000 grains.The conversion factor from Kilograms to Grams is 1000. To find out how many Kilograms in Grams, multiply by the conversion factor or use the Mass converter above. Five Kilograms is equivalent to five thousand Grams. Definition of Kilogram

The kilogram or kilogramme, (symbol: kg) is the SI base unit of mass. A gram is defined as one thousandth of a kilogram. Conversion of units describes equivalent units of mass in other systems. To calculate 5 Kilograms to the corresponding value in Grams, multiply the quantity in Kilograms by 1000 (conversion factor). In this case we should multiply 5 Kilograms by 1000 to get the equivalent result in Grams:France, Britain and the other northern Europe countries had to find a system of measurement that was standard and undisputed. There were various people commissioned to look unto this and come up with a sustainable unit. History/origin: The name kilogram was derived from the French "kilogramme," which in turn came from adding Greek terminology meaning "a thousand," before the Late Latin term "gramma" meaning "a small weight." The kilogram (or kilogramme, SI symbol: kg), also known as the kilo, is the fundamental unit of mass in the International System of Units. Defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK), that is almost exactly equal to the mass of one liter of water. The kilogram is the only SI base unit using an SI prefix ("kilo", symbol "k") as part of its name. The stability of kilogram is really important, for four of the seven fundamental units in the SI system are defined relative to it. Definition of Gram The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of one liter of water at its freezing point in 1794, but was eventually re-defined, since measuring the mass of a volume of water was imprecise and cumbersome.

A kg is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It may also be noted as the weight of volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part meter in the temperature of melting ice. Kilogram is the SI unit of mass. Mass is defined as the tendency of objects at rest to remain so unless acted upon by a force. Kilogram came from the French word kilogrammes. It was incorporated into the French law in the decree of 18 germinal of 1795. In the United Kingdom, its use began in early 1797.History/origin: The milligram is based on the SI unit of weight and mass, the kilogram. As an SI unit, it uses the "milli" SI prefix to denote that it is a submultiple of the base unit. Although the "milli" prefix denotes a submultiple with respect to the gram, the kilogram, not the gram, is technically the SI base unit of mass.
