What it is

The size of the practical farad used in electrical metrology from 1990 to 2019 (based on K_J-90 and R_K-90), in SI farads. It is exact because the elementary charge and Planck constant are now exact.

It is built only from constants with exact values, so it is exact too.

How the value changed, 1998–2022

CODATA	Value (uncertainty)	Relative uncertainty	Change from previous
2022	0.999 999 982 20…	exact	exact
2018	0.999 999 982 20…	exact

“Change from previous” is the shift in the value divided by the standard uncertainty of the previous adjustment. Earlier values are converted into the current unit where NIST changed it (for example J s to J Hz⁻¹).
