Glossary

Kilogram (kg)

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, redefined in 2019 in terms of the Planck constant (h = 6.62607015Ɨ10ā»Ā³ā“ JĀ·s). One kilogram equals 1000 g, 2.20462 lb or 0.157 stone. It anchors all other metric mass units and is the standard for body weight, groceries, freight and scientific work in nearly every country.

Milligram (mg)

A milligram is one thousandth of a gram and one millionth of a kilogram (1 mg = 0.001 g). It is the standard unit for medication dosages, vitamin labelling, fine-chemistry measurements and food nutrient content. A typical aspirin tablet is around 325 mg; a daily vitamin C dose is often 60ā€“1000 mg.

Metric system (SI)

The metric system is a decimal system of measurement built around the kilogram for mass, the meter for length and the second for time, with multiples and submultiples expressed as powers of ten (milligram, gram, tonne). Adopted in France in 1799 and codified internationally as the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, it is now the official system in nearly every country and the standard in science.

Imperial / US Customary system

The imperial system is the historical English system of weights and measures whose mass units are the ounce, pound, stone and ton (16 oz = 1 lb, 14 lb = 1 stone, 2,000 lb = 1 US short ton). Codified by the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824 and aligned with US Customary by the 1959 international yard-and-pound agreement (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly), it is still used in the United States and the United Kingdom for everyday weights.
