The kilogram force has never been a part of the International System of Units SI , which was introduced in 1960. The SI unit of force is the Newton unit newton . Prior to this, the unit was widely used in much of the world and it is still in use for some purposes.

Refimprove date April 2007 Specific properties of a substance are derived from other intrinsic and extrinsic properties or intensive and extensive properties of that substance. For example, the density of steel a specific and intrinsic property can be derived from measurements of the mass of a steel bar an extrinsic property divided by the volume of the bar another extrinsic property . Similarly, the specific gravity of a liquid is derived from the density of the liquid divided by the density of water two intrinsic properties . Uses of specific properties Reference tables Specific properties are often used in reference tables as a means of recording material data in a manner that is independent of size or mass. This allows the data to be broadly applied while keeping the table compact. Ranking, Classifying, and Comparing Specific properties are useful for making comparisons about one attribute while cancelling out the effect of variations in another attribute. For instance, steel alloys are typically stronger than aluminum alloys but are also much denser. Greater strength allows less metal to be used, which makes the choice between the two metals less than obvious. To simplify the comparison, one would compare the specific strength strength to weight ratio of the two metals. A more everyday example is grocery shopping. The two kilogram package sells for a higher price than the one kilogram package, but what matters is the specific price , commonly called the unit cost cost per kilogram . Mnemonics and Qualitative Reasoning In many instances, specific properties are more intuitive or are easier to remember than the original properties in SI or English units. For instance, it is easier to conceptualize an acceleration of 2 g s than an acceleration of 19.6 meters per second squared. It is easy to remember that the specific gravity of water is 1.0 and that something with a higher specific gravity will sink in water. Other examples of specific properties specific heat , ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 A gram per liter or litre g L is a unit of measurement of mass concentration chemistry mass concentration that shows how many gram s of a certain Chemical substance substance are present in one litre of a usually liquid or gaseous mixture. It is not an SI unit because it contains the non SI unit litre . The SI unit of mass concentration is kilogram per cubic meter , which is numerically equivalent 1 g L 1 kg m . SI style prefixes are often applied, giving units like milligram s per litre mg L or micrograms per decilitre &mu g dL or mcg dL . When measuring concentration in water, parts per million is an older expression of mg L, since one liter of water under Standard conditions for temperature and pressure standard conditions weighs one kilogram or one million milligrams. Milligrams per litre are often used in medicine and in medical prescription s. For example, a description of a solution that Chemical compound involves two substances , where one of the substances involves adding Water molecule water , would state 10 mg L water and substance . blood sugar Blood sugar concentration is sometimes measured in milligrams per decilitre mg dL .
