SI Reference Point

This service constitutes the authoritative digital reference for the International System of Units (SI). It provides Permanent Digital Identifiers (PIDs) for the named SI units, SI prefixes, and defining constants, and a parsing tool for the PID and semantic model for compound units.

  • SI Reference Point
    • Units
      Lists the named SI units
    • Prefixes
      Lists the SI prefixes
    • Defining Constants
      Returns the defining constants of the SI
    • Decisions
      Returns the decisions of the CGPM and the CIPM bearing directly upon definitions of the units of the SI, prefixes defined for use as part of the SI, and conventions for the writing of unit symbols and numbers.
Quantities

This service provides PIDs for the kinds of quantity included in the SI Brochure and the KCDB, including a parsing tool for the PID and semantic model for compound quantities, and shows the related Service Categories in the KCDB.

  • Quantities
    Lists the kinds of quantity included in the KCDB.
  • Quantity expressions

Consultative Committee for Thermometry (CCT)

The digital services from the Consultative Committee for Thermometry (CCT) provide internationally-agreed reference data for temperature scales and measurements. The reference data sets here are sourced from documents related to the Mise en pratique for the definition of the kelvin in the SI and support the realization of scale temperatures via the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) and Provisional Low Temperature Scale of 2000 (PLTS-2000), and the realization of thermodynamic temperature via primary radiometric measurements and acoustic gas thermometry.

Nuclides Service

This service returns the BIPM record for a given nuclide.
