  • Linking APMP.M.M-K6 to CCM.M-K2

The APMP.M.M-K6 results were analyzed and linked to the CCM.M-K2 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-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,
Ui and Uij being the expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of Di and Dij respectively.
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.

x(rep)i : reported result obtained as the difference between the measurement of the mass standard carried out by laboratory i and its nominal value
ui : combined standard uncertainty of x(rep)i

Three s
ets of mass standards, designated as CA, CB and CC, were circulated.
For each set of mass standards the Pilot Laboratory, PTB, carried out two measurements: the first one before the circulation and the second one after the circulation, as indicated respectively by (1) and (2).

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 circulation.
