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.

A detailed description for stepping up procedures to establish the viscosity scale and obtaining sets of master viscometers is given in the book. Devices used for specific materials and viscosity in non SI units are discussed with respect to the need to correlate viscosity values obtained by various devices.

This book shows how to evaluate measurement results, exploring probability distributions and their properties and uncertainty calculations for independent linear inputs, non-linear inputs and correlated inputs. The text includes many numerical examples.

This book covers practical aspects of mass measurements, describing concepts of gravitational, inertial and conventional mass and the variation of acceleration of gravity, and Metric Convention and International Prototype Kilogram and BIPM standards.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the units in physics and engineering and the international system of units. It serves as a useful reference to researchers and engineers.
