Convert nanogram to kilogram
Please provide values below to convert nanogram [ng] to kilogram [kg], or Convert kilogram to nanogram.
1 ng = 1.0000e-12 kg. To convert nanogram to kilogram, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kg = 1e+12 ng). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ng = 1.0000e-12 kg
- 1 kg = 1e+12 ng
- 10 ng = 1.0000e-11 kg
- 100 ng = 1.0000e-10 kg
How to Convert Nanogram to Kilogram
1 ng = 1e-12 kg
Example: convert 15 ng to kg:
15 ng = 15 × 1e-12 kg = 1.5e-11 kg

Nanogram
A nanogram (ng) is a unit of mass equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a gram.
History/Origin
The nanogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small quantities, especially in scientific and medical fields, as the need for precise measurement of tiny masses grew with technological advancements.
Current Use
Nanograms are commonly used in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing to measure very small amounts of substances accurately.
Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram, a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
History/Origin
The kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water. It was later represented by a platinum standard in 1875, known as the International Prototype Kilogram, which served as the global standard until 2019.
Current Use
Today, the kilogram is defined by the Planck constant, fixed at exactly 6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ joule seconds, ensuring greater precision and stability in measurements worldwide. It is widely used in science, industry, and commerce for measuring mass.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 nanogram in kilogram?
1 nanogram (ng) = 1.0000e-12 kilogram (kg).
How do you convert nanogram to kilogram?
Multiply the nanogram value by 1.0000e-12. For example, 25 ng × 1.0000e-12 = 2.5000e-11 kg.
