The key comparison reference value, xR, is calculated as the weighted average of the mean relative deviations from the pilot laboratory obtained by the participating laboratories. Its standard uncertainty, uR, is calculated as explained on page 30 of the Final Report). |
| The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the key comparison reference reference value is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in 10-5: Di and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2). (See the Appendix on page 32 of the Final Report). |
Linking is made via the pilot laboratory NPL, who also participated in the CCM.F-K2.a comparison.
For each nominal value of the force, a reference value is computed inside the EURAMET key comparison, as the weighted mean deviation from the pilot value.
Based on the assumption that the performance of the common participants in both comparisons, the NPL and the PTB, has remained unchanged, it can be concuded that the EURAMET reference values are 0.6 10-5 and 0.7 10-5 lower than the CCM.F-K2 key comparison reference values, at forces of 50 kN and 100 kN, respectively.
The degrees of equivalence found inside the EURAMET key comparison (offsets and expanded uncertainties) are adjusted accordingly, as explained on page 28 of the EUROMET.M.F-K2 Final Report, to be transferred to key comparison CCM.F-K2.
Linking of results for 50 kN is made via KRISS, NIM and NMIJ/AIST who also participated in the CCM.F-K2.a and CCM.F-K2.b comparisons.

MEASURAND : Force
NOMINAL VALUE : 50 kN
Measurements in key comparisons CCM.F-K2.a and CCM.F-K2.b correspond to the schemes A and B respectively, as explained on page 4 of the Final Report. Two transducers are used in scheme A, and three transducers are used in scheme B:
- in scheme A, the two transducers have a nominal capacity of 100 kN and are used to measure 50 kN and 100 kN forces;
- in scheme B, two transducers have a nominal capacity of 50 kN and are used to measure 50 kN forces, and one transducer has a nominal capacity of 100 kN and is used to measure 50 kN forces.
Detailed results of measurements obtained in both key comparisons are given in Section 9 on page 18 of the Final Report. They are then concatenated (see page 30 of the Final Report) in order to provide one set of measurements for 50 kN forces and one set of measurements for 100 kN forces. These two sets of results are shown in Figure 26 and Figure 27 on page 31 of the Final Report.
