    For instance, K20, the US's primary standard, originally had an official mass of 1 kg − 39 μg (micrograms) in 1889; that is to say, K20 was 39 μg less than the IPK. A verification performed in 1948 showed a mass of 1 kg − 19 μg. The latest verification performed in 1989 shows a mass precisely identical to its original 1889 value.

Current (2019): The kilogram is defined by setting the Planck constant h exactly to 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 J⋅s (J = kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2), given the definitions of the metre and the second. [7] Then the formula would be kg = ⁠ h / 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 ⋅m 2 ⋅s −1 ...
