  • Key comparison CCM.M-K1

The key comparison reference value, xR, is evaluated as the median of the xi values (the BIPM zero value being counted only once), and its standard uncertainty, uR, as the standard deviation of median (see Appendix 2 of CCM.M-K1 Final Report).

xR = -3.0 µg and uR = 2.2 µg

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms:
Di = (xi - xR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (at a 95% level of confidence), both expressed in µg. Detailed information on the evaluation of Ui may be found in Appendix 3 of CCM.M-K1 Final Report.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories participant in CCM.M-K1 is given by a pair of terms:
Dij = Di - Dj = (xi - xj) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (at a 95% level of confidence), both expressed in µg. Detailed information on the evaluation of Uij may be found in Appendix 3 of CCM.M-K1 Final Report.
  • Linking APMP.M.M-K1 results to CCM.M-K1 results

The APMP.M.M-K1 results were analyzed and linked to the CCM.M-K1 results using Generalised Least-Squares (sometimes known as Gauss-Markov) estimation (see section 7 of APMP.M.M-K1 Final Report).
This analysis directly combines the APMP comparison results with the CCM.M-K1 results of the three linking laboratories (KRISS, NMIA, and NMIJ) to estimate the degrees of equivalence:

1) the degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in APMP.M.M-K1 relative to the CCM.M-K1 key comparison reference value, Di and Ui, with Ui the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of Di, and

2) the degree of equivalence between pairs of laboratories i and j both participant in APMP.M.M-K1, Dij and Uij, with Uij the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of Dij.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j, one participant in CCM.M-K1 and the other one in APMP.M.M-K1, is given by a pair of terms: Dij = Di - Dj and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2).
Uij may be estimated as Uij = [Ui2 + Uj2 - 2(2uR)2]1/2 since both Ui and Uj include the uncertainty associated with the key comparison reference value. These values are not explicitely given here.

  • Linking EUROMET.M.M-K1 results to CCM.M-K1 results

The EUROMET.M.M-K1 results were analyzed and linked to the CCM.M-K1 results as explained in the Linkage Report, using the values obtained by the three linking laboratories (PTB, INRIM, and NPL).

It leads to the estimation of the degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in EUROMET.M.M-K1 relative to the CCM.M-K1 key comparison reference value, Di and Ui, with Ui the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of Di.

The pair-wise degrees of equivalence inside EUROMET.M.M-K1 are given on pages 12, 16, and 19 of the EUROMET.M.M-K1 Final Report for mass standards PTBC, INM11, and the mean of both, respectively.

  • Linking EUROMET.M.M-K4 and EUROMET.M.M-K4.1 results to CCM.M-K1 results

The EUROMET.M.M-K4 and EUROMET.M.M-K4.1 results were analyzed and linked to the CCM.M-K1 results as explained in Appendix A of the EUROMET.M.M-K4 Final Report. The linking laboratories between EUROMET.M.M-K4 and CCM.M-K1 are PTB, INRIM, and NPL. The linking laboratory between EUROMET.M.M-K4.1 and EUROMET.M.M-K4 is DFM.

It leads to the estimation of the degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in EUROMET.M.M-K4 and K4.1 relative to the CCM.M-K1 key comparison reference value, Di and Ui, with Ui the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of Di.

The pair-wise degrees of equivalence inside EUROMET.M.M-K4 are given on pages 10 to 13 of the EUROMET.M.M-K4 Final Report, and the pair-wise degree of equivalence between DFM and MIRS, as obtained in EUROMET.M.M-K4.1, on page 7 of the EUROMET.M.M-K4.1 Final Report.

  • Linking APMP.M.M-K6 to CCM.M-K1

The APMP.M.M-K6 results obtained for 1 kg were analyzed and linked to the CCM.M-K1 results using Generalised Least-Squares (sometimes known as Gauss-Markov) estimation (see Section 7 of the APMP.M.M-K6 Final Report).
This analysis directly combines the APMP comparison results with the CCM.M-K1 results of the three linking laboratories (NMIA, NIMT, and NMISA) for Loop A, and the single linking laboratory (NPLI) for Loop B, to estimate:

- the degree of equivalence of each laboratory participant in APMP.M.M-K6 with respect to the CCM.M-K1 key comparison reference value, Di and Ui, and

- the degrees of equivalence between two laboratories both participant in APMP.M.M-K6, Dij and Uij,

This analysis directly combines the APMP comparison results with the CCM.M-K2 results of the linking laboratory, NMIA (CSIRO-NML at the time of the CCM.M-K2 key comparison), to estimate:

- the degree of equivalence of each laboratory participant in APMP.M.M-K6 with respect to the CCM.M-K2 key comparison reference value, Di and Ui, and
- the degrees of equivalence between two laboratories both participant in APMP.M.M-K6, Dij and Uij,

The pair-wise degrees of equivalence inside APMP.M.M-K6 are given on pages 15 and 16 of the APMP.M.M-K6 Final Report.

Artefacts of nominal value 1 kg are also measured in the framework of key comparison APMP.M.M-K6. This is reported together with CCM.M-K1 results.

  • Key comparison CCM.M-K1

x(rep)i : reported result obtained as the difference between the measurement of the mass standards carried out by laboratory i (being evaluated as the average mass of two 1 kg artefacts) and the nominal value 1 kg
ui : combined standard uncertainty of x(rep)i

Seven participating laboratories determined the mass of the travelling standards VSL-1 and J2 (Package 1) while the remaining seven determined the mass of the travelling standards VSL-2 and J3 (Package 2).
As Pilot laboratory, the BIPM determined the mass of the travelling standards of each package at the beginning and at the end of the comparison, and a few times during the course of the comparison.

xi : difference between the mass determined by laboratory i, x(rep)i, and that determined by the Pilot laboratory.

The Pilot's mass value is the average of the two results obtained before and after the measurement at laboratory i, except for PTB and SMU where only the BIPM result of May 96 is used, and NIM where only the BIPM result of Feb 97 is used (see CCM.M-K1 Final Report).
