History

Milligram (mg)

The milligram, symbol mg, equals one-thousandth of a gram and is widely used in science, medicine, and nutrition. Established with the metric system in the late 18th century, the milligram enables precise measurement of small masses. It is essential in pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and laboratory research, where small variations can be significant. The milligram demonstrates the metric system’s versatility by supporting both everyday and scientific measurements, ensuring accuracy across various disciplines.

Kilogram (kg)

The kilogram, symbolized as kg, is the SI base unit of mass, equivalent to 1,000 grams. Introduced in France in 1795, it was historically defined by a platinum-iridium physical prototype stored near Paris. In 2019, the kilogram was redefined by reference to the Planck constant for a universal and precise definition based on physics rather than an object. The kilogram is fundamental in science, industry, and daily life, providing a standardized unit of measurement for a broad range of applications. Its adoption ensures seamless consistency worldwide.
