APMP.L-K1 and APMP.L-K1.1
MEASURAND : Length of gauge blocks
TRAVELLING STANDARDS : 10 steel gauge blocks
Key comparison APMP.L-K1: Degrees of equivalence, Di and expanded uncertainty Ui, of each laboratory i participant in APMP.L-K1 with respect to the APMP.L-K1 reference value for each gauge block, expressed in nm.
Key comparison APMP.L-K1.1: Degrees of equivalence, Di.1 and expanded uncertainty Ui.1, of each laboratory i participant in APMP.L-K1.1 with respect to the APMP.L-K1.1 reference value for each gauge block, expressed in nm.
APMP.L-K1 results and APMP.L-K1.1 results are not linked to any other key comparison results, and not linked together. However, for each nominal value, APMP.L-K1 and APMP.L-K1.1 graphs of equivalence are built up using the same scales and are shown side by side:

For each nominal value, the APMP.L-K1 reference value, xR, is obtained as the weighted mean excluding outliers and MSL results (see Section 4 of the APMP.L-K1 Final Report). The standard uncertainty, uR, of xR is computed as the internal standard deviation of the weighted mean. |
| For each nominal value, the degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in APMP.L-K1 with respect to the APMP.L-K1 reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = xi - xR, and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2) with Ui = 2(ui2 - uR2 + uA2)1/2; uA is the uncertainty linked to the artefact. |
| No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are calculated. |
Results of key comparison APMP.L-K1 are not linked to any other key comparison results.

MEASURAND : Length of gauge blocks
TRAVELLING STANDARDS : 10 steel gauge blocks
xi : average of the central length measured in two orientations by laboratory i
ui : combined standard uncertainty of xi
Two of the steel gauge blocks (8 mm and 80 mm) were damaged in the course of the comparison.
CMS/ITRI was unable to participate due to instrument failure.

Measurements were also carried out at NMIJ in May 2005 (before the beginning of the comparison) and from June to August 2006 (after the end of the comparison). They are not reported here. The degrees of equivalence of NMIJ are computed using the measurement results obtained in September and October 2005.
