Product Information

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.

This online conversion calculator will convert among different units of weight or mass. For more specific calculations use With this knowledge in mind you can comfortably discuss weight and the pound in terms of history. It is also important to note that the pound is not the ounce. 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. 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.Conversions are performed by using a conversion factor.By knowing the conversion factor, converting between units can become a simple multiplication problem:

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." 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. Current use: As a base unit of SI, the kilogram is used globally in nearly all fields and applications, with the exception of countries like the United States, where the kilogram is used in many areas, at least to some extent (such as science, industry, government, and the military) but typically not in everyday applications. 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.How many LB are in 5 KG? 5 Kilograms is equal to how many Pounds How to recalculate 5 Kilograms to Pounds? What is the formula to convert 5 Kg to Lb 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.

Two scientists Louis Lefevre and an Italian were the first people to come up with a kilogram as the relative weight of water at its maximum density which at the time was 4 degrees. Over the years the kilogram was compared to the mass of melting water and it was eventually incorporated into the standard units of measurements. 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:Current use: As a submultiple of an SI base unit, the milligram is widely used in many applications, from everyday use to measure the weight or mass of foods, substances, etc., to widespread use in scientific labs, among other areas. Kilogram 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.
