Abstract
Manufacturing processes and handling procedures for new stable silicon mass standards with unprec-edented accuracy have been developed and transferred to industry. The patented manufacturing pro-cess and the high precision calibration procedures were developed by PTB. Both the manufacturing process for the spheres and the handling of the spheres were extended to two small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The transfer was part of the three-year transfer project “Si-kg” for industrial requirements and placed on the market with great success.
