About kilograms
The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). Established in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water at the freezing point, it has been the world's standard for over two centuries. Until 2019, it was defined by a physical platinum-iridium cylinder locked in a vault in Paris (Le Grand K). Today, it is defined by the Planck constant, a fundamental constant of quantum physics, ensuring it remains stable and precise forever. kilograms are commonly used in Body weight (worldwide except US), Gym equipment (plates/dumbbells), International shipping, and Scientific mass measurements, Food packaging (globally).
A liter of bottled water weighs exactly 1 kilogram.
About milligrams
The milligram (mg) is a unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a gram. Its precision became indispensable with the rise of modern medicine and chemistry. Before the milligram, accurate dosing of potent medicines was dangerous and difficult. Today, it is the standard unit for determining the potency of pills, capsules, and vitamins, ensuring safety and efficacy in healthcare. milligrams are commonly used in Prescription medication dosages, Caffeine content in coffee, Sodium content in food, and Water quality testing, Gemstone grading (alongside carats).
