What is a Kilogram and a Pras (India)?

The kilogram is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant.

The Pras is an extremely small traditional Indian unit of mass, representing a minute fraction sometimes referenced historically. One Pras is approximately equal to 0.0000027902 grams.

Note: The Kilogram is part of the metric (SI) system, primarily used globally in science and trade. The Pras (India) belongs to the imperial/US customary system.

History of the Kilogram and Pras (India)

Originally defined as the mass of one liter of water. Later, it was represented by the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK), a platinum-iridium cylinder. In 2019, the definition was changed to be based on fundamental physical constants.

Pras belongs to the lower end of the traditional Indian weight system, likely used for theoretical calculations or measuring extremely fine powders or precious substances where incredible precision was notionally required.

Common Uses for kilograms and pras

Explore the typical applications for both Kilogram (metric) and Pras (India) (imperial/US) to understand their common contexts.

Common Uses for kilograms

Global Standard: The primary unit for mass in science (physics, chemistry), engineering calculations, and international trade (e.g., commodity pricing).
Body Weight: Widely used worldwide (outside the US/UK primarily) for measuring human body weight for health and fitness tracking.
Food & Groceries: Used for selling and labeling larger quantities of food items like rice, flour, sugar, and some produce in metric countries.
Shipping & Logistics: Standard unit for calculating weights of packages and freight internationally.
Everyday Objects: Measuring the mass of common items like furniture, electronics, or luggage.

Common Uses for pras

Historical/Theoretical: Unlikely to be used in any practical modern context; primarily of historical or theoretical significance within traditional Indian metrology.
