Framed Print of Casting platinum-iridium kilograms C016 / 2050
Casting platinum-iridium kilograms. Researchers carrying out the casting and graining stages of producing platinum-iridium kilogram standards. This is done as part of testing and comparing changes in the national standard kilogram (Kilogram 18), which is itself a copy of the International Prototype Kilogram, a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy held at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), at Sevres, France. The Third Periodic Verification of National Prototypes of the Kilogram took place from 1988 to 1992. Photographed in 1993, at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK.
