Unit Definition (kilogram)
The kilogram is the base unit of mass in the SI and MKS versions of the metric system. The kilogram is defined as the mass of the standard kilogram, a platinum-iridium bar in the custody of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) near Paris, France. Copies of this bar are kept by the standards agencies of all the major industrial nations, including the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). One kilogram equals exactly 1000 grams, or about 2.204 622 6 pounds. By design, this is approximately the mass of a liter of water.

Unit Definition (uncia [Rome])
The uncia is the Roman ounce, equal to about 27.2875 grams of 0.9625 ounce avoirdupois. There were 12 ounces in a Roman pound, and the word uncia means a 12th part; its name gives us the ounce, of course, and also the inch.
