MEASURAND : Internal diameter
GAUGE : 3.5/5 mm ring

The key comparison reference values, xR, were calculated in each group separately, based on the weighted mean, after excluding iteratively laboratories having a poor degree of equivalence until results were consistent.
The combined standard uncertainty of xR is designated as uR.

Group 1 : xR = 20.590 µm and uR = 0.017 µm
Group 2
: xR = 0.290 µm and uR = 0.023 µm

For each group, the degrees of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = xi - xR and Ui its expanded uncertainty (k = 2).

Linking of the two groups has been done by simply representing the results on a common graph, i.e. by setting the deviation from nominal value of the respective reference values of the two groups arbitrarily to zero. The consistency of the two linked groups with each other is demonstrated by the consistency of the linking laboratories  (METAS, INRIM and NPL) with each of the reference values.

The linking laboratories are shown in the middle of the tables and graphs of equivalence.

The pair-wise degrees of equivalence are not computed for this comparison.
