Abstract

As part of the ongoing key comparison BIPM.QM-K2.b, a comparison has been performed on the amount fraction of carbon dioxide (CO2) in nitrogen, in gaseous reference materials value assigned by the National Metrology Institute of Slovakia, Slovak Institute of Metrology (SMU), with the Key Comparison Reference Value based on measurements performed with the comparison reference facility maintained at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures Headquarters (BIPM). One standard was used for the comparison that covers a CO2 amount fraction range of 350 µmol mol−1 to 800 µmol mol−1.

Note that this text is that which appears in Appendix B of the BIPM key comparison database https://www.bipm.org/kcdb/.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCQM, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
