UNIT OF THE MONTH: The kilogram
Accompanying the redefinition of the International System of Units (SI), on the 20th of each month we have been looking at one of the seven SI base units since November 2018.
You'll be able to find out where the units are used in everyday life, how they have been defined, and the changes that came into force on 20 May 2019.
Discover the SI unit of the month (20 May to 19 June), the last unit we’ll be looking at, the kilogram >>
