The Planck-Balance is a new weighing instrument, that utilizes the Kibble principle for mass measurements. In contrast to existing Kibble experiments the balance is aimed at applications in industrial or research use. The proposed new definition of the kilogram with a fixed value of the Planck constant…
A virtual weight is a numerical representation of a physical mass weight, describing the metrological behavior under certain measurement conditions. Based on a Monte Carlo simulation, it considers all significant influence variables with their respective uncertainty distribution. For the virtual weight…
The current definition of the unit kilogram by an artifact is about to be replaced by a definition based on a fundamental constant, which is the Planck constant. To establish the link between a mass standard and the Planck constant an instrument called Watt- or Kibble-Balance can be used. This instrument…
A self-calibrating balance is proposed, which allows the calibration of weights in a continuous range from 1 mg to 1 kg. This so-called Planck-Balance (PB) is similar to the physical approach of Kibble Balances that allow the mass to be derived from the Planck constant. Using the Planck-Balance no calibrated…
