Metrologists are concerned about their ability to accurately measure 1kg in the lab.If the shape of the kg affected the measurement of its mass, then fortunately, the shape has been kept constant (although it is shaped suspiciously like the Urbamobile?). The density of the kg definitely affects the measurement of its mass, since an iron mass displaces a different amount of air than the platinum/iridium original.
