Abstract

The CCQM key comparison K73.2018.4 is a follow-up comparison of CCQM K73.2018. It was performed to demonstrate the capability of the participating institutes to measure the amount content of H+ in hydrochloric acid of 0.1 mol·kg-1 molality. Three NMIs participated in this comparison with PTB being the linking lab. The comparison was coordinated by PTB.

The sample showed a slight but significant instability by loss of water of around 0.13μmol kg-1d-1 corresponding to 0.006 % over the measurement period. The results were
corrected for this instability.

The results of this subsequent key comparison showed significant deviations from the KCRV.

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).
