CIPM MRA COMPARISON REPORTS
SUPPLEMENTARY COMPARISON
COOMET.T-S6
Abstract
This report presents the results of the COOMET supplementary
comparison COOMET Project 873/RU-a/23 in the field of combustion
energy measurements of pure organic substances. The comparison
involved three national metrology institutes: VNIIM (Russia), BelGIM
(Belarus) and NIM (China).
Two comparison samples prepared by the
pilot laboratory (VNIIM) were used: anthracene and dodecane. The gross
calorific value of the samples was measured using bomb calorimeters
operated according to the measurement procedures adopted in each
laboratory.
The comparison results were evaluated according to
COOMET Recommendation COOMET-R/GM/19:2016. The obtained reference
values were 39626 ± 5 kJ/kg for anthracene and 47319 ± 6 kJ/kg for
dodecane. The results of all participants were consistent and
confirmed their measurement capabilities.

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