Reproducibility of the Realization of the Kilogram Based on the Planck Constant by the XRCD Method at NMIJ

Abstract

The new definition of the kilogram based on the Planck constant was implemented in May 2019. The National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) will realize the new kilogram by the X-ray crystal density method using a28Si-enriched sphere. An international comparison of the realizations of the new kilogram by national metrology institutes was organized. As a participant in the comparison, the NMIJ realized the kilogram by the volume measurement and surface characterization of a28Si-enriched sphere. Details of the measurement results and the uncertainty evaluation of the realization are described. The comparison of the realization results with previous realization results in 2016 is also provided.
