TITLE :
9640002 OFFICIAL DEFINITIONS OF THE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL UNITS
FIGURE N° 2
KEY MESSAGE
REMARKS
Following are the official definitions of the seven fundamental units, as given by BIPM (International
Bureau of Weights and Measures):
metre (m) è "The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during
a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second."
Kilogram (kg) è “The kilogram is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the
kilogram.”
Second (s) è "The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation
corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the
ground state of the caesium 133 atom."
Ampere (A) è “The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight
parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section,
and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these
-7
conductors a force equal to 2 × 10 newton per metre of length.”
Kelvin (K) è "The kelvin is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature
of the triple point of water."
Mole (mol) è “The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as
many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of
carbon 12. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be
specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles,
or specified groups of such particles.”
Candela (cd) è The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source
12
that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 10 hertz and
that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian."
