BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Cr-51 and APMP.RI(II)-K2.Cr-51

MEASURAND : SIR equivalent activity of 51Cr

  • Key comparison BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Cr-51

Key comparison reference value:
The SIR reference value for this radionuclide is xR = 488.0 MBq, with a standard uncertainty uR = 0.3 MBq, see section 4.1 of the Final Report dated January 2009.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms:
Di = (xi - xR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. With n the number of laboratories, when each laboratory has contributed to the computation of xR, see Metrologia, 42, 140-144.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms:
Dij = Di - Dj = (xi - xj) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. The approximation Uij ~ 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2 is used for the computation of the pair-wise degrees of equivalence.
  • Linking APMP.RI(II)-K2.Cr-51 to BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Cr-51

The value xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Cr-51 having been normalized to the value of NMIJ as the linking laboratory (see Final Report dated October 2005).

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Cr-51 with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms:
Di = (xi - xR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq.
The approximation Ui = 2(ui2 + uR2)1/2 is used in the Matrix of equivalence.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms: Dij = Di - Dj and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq, where the approximation Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2 - 2ful2)1/2 is used (l is the NMIJ and f the correlation coefficient).
These statements make it possible to extend the BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Cr-51 Matrix of equivalence to the participant in the APMP.RI(II)-K2.Cr-51 comparison.
