GAS MIXTURE expressed in cmol/mol: Nitrogen:  12, Carbon dioxide: 4, Helium: 0.5, Hydrogen: 3, Ethane: 0.75, Propane: 0.3, iso-Butane: 0.2, n-Butane: 0.2, iso-Pentane: 0.05, n-Pentane: 0.05, neo-Pentane: 0.05, n-Hexane: 0.05, Methane: 78.85

The data evaluation was performed using a consensus value and a laboratory effect model. The results of the participants were benchmarked against a key comparison reference value xR,i computed from the largest consistent subset (LCS) of the submitted results xi, adjusted for the differences between the travelling standards as described in section 5 on p. 45 of the final report.

KCRVs for hydrogen: The consensus value computed from the LCS is 3.0007 cmol/mol, with standard uncertainty 0.0029 cmol/mol. The excess standard deviation τ is 0.0046 cmol/mol (0.15 % as relative standard uncertainty).  

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value xR,i is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in (cmol/mol):

Di = (xi - xR,i) and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence where Ui = 2 ui.

The data evaluation was performed using a consensus value and a laboratory effect model. The results of the participants were benchmarked against a key comparison reference value xR,i computed from the largest consistent subset (LCS) of the submitted results xi, adjusted for the differences between the travelling standards as described in section 5 on p. 45 of the final report.

KCRVs for carbon dioxide: The consensus value computed from the LCS is 4.0044 cmol/mol, with standard uncertainty 0.0017 cmol/mol. The excess standard deviation uτ is 0.0024 cmol/mol (0.06 % as relative standard uncertainty).  

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value xR,i is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in (cmol/mol):

Di = (xi - xR,i) and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence where Ui = 2 ui.
