What is a Pras (India) and a Kilogram?
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.
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.
Note: The Pras (India) is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Kilogram belongs to the metric (SI) system.
History of the Pras (India) and Kilogram
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.
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.
Common Uses for pras and kilograms
Explore the typical applications for both Pras (India) (imperial/US) and Kilogram (metric) to understand their common contexts.
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.
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.
