CCEM.M-K1 and EUROMET.EM.M-K1

MEASURAND : Coil constant of a DC transfer standard

  • Key comparison CCEM.M-K1

The key comparison reference value, kR, is obtained as the weighted average of the results of 6 participants (see on pages 5 and 6 of the Final Report):
kR = 2.024 129 mT/A, with relative standard uncertainty uR = 5.75 10-6.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms both expressed in relative units:
Di = (ki/kR) - 1, and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), with Ui = 2ui.
Due to the fairly large value of the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of the key comparison reference value (11.5 10-6) with respect to the expanded uncertainty of some of the participants, uR is not included in the Ui's calculation.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms both expressed in relative units:
Dij = (ki - kj)/kR and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2.
  • Linking EUROMET.EM.M-K1 to CCEM.M-K1

The link is computed from the results of the common participants, CMI, NPL, and PTB, which used NMR methods and thus provided the lowest uncertainty budgets. For each of these laboratories the ratio of their results obtained in CCEM.M-K1 to those obtained in EUROMET.EM.M-K1 is calculated. The weighted mean of these ratio values provides a factor, F, used to transfer the participants' results obtained in EUROMET.EM.M-K1 to CCEM.M-K1 (see Linkage Report):
F = 1.0001861 with expanded uncertainty (k = 2) UF = 17.8 10-6.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in EUROMET.EM.M-K1 only with respect to the CCEM.M-K1 reference value is given by a pair of terms both expressed in relative units:
Di = (Fki/kR) - 1, and Ui its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
Ui = 2[ui2 + (UF/2)2]1/2.

The degree of equivalence between one laboratory i participating in EUROMET.EM.M-K1 and one laboratory j participating in CCEM.M-K1 is given by a pair of terms both expressed in relative units:
Dij = (Fki - kj)/kR and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
Uij = 2[(Ui/2)2 + uj2]1/2.

These statements make it possible to extend the CCEM.M-K1 matrix of equivalence to participants in EUROMET.EM.M-K1.

  • Key comparison CCEM.M-K1

A curve P(f) is fitted by means of partial polynomial least squares adjustment on the values Qi(f) provided by all participants except UME and NIM (see page 8 and Figure 6 of the Final Report). Interpretation of the results in terms of equivalence is carried out for four nominal frequencies: 50 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, and 20 kHz.

The key comparison reference value is P(f).
For f = 50 Hz, P(f) = 1.0001 with expanded uncertainty UP = 0.16 %.

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms both expressed in relative units:
Di = [Qi(f)/P(f)] - 1, and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), with Ui = 2ui.
Due to the fairly large value of the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of the key comparison reference value with respect to the expanded uncertainty of some of the participants, it is not included in the Ui's calculation.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms both expressed in relative units:

The link is computed from the results of the four common participants, CMI, NPL, IEN and PTB. For each of these laboratories the ratio of their results obtained in CCEM.M-K1 to those obtained in EUROMET.EM.M-K1 is calculated.
A transfer curve F(f) is fitted by means of partial polynomial least squares adjustment on these ratio values, and is used to transfer the participants' results obtained in EUROMET.EM.M-K1 to CCEM.M-K1 (see Linkage Report).
The linkage is made for three nominal frequencies: 50 Hz, 1 kHz, and 5 kHz.

For f = 50 Hz, F(f) = 1.0000 with expanded uncertainty UF = 0.36 %.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in EUROMET.EM.M-K1 only with respect to the CCEM.M-K1 reference value is given by a pair of terms both expressed in relative units:
Di = [F(f)Qi(f)/P(f)] - 1, and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
with Ui = 2[ui2 + (UF/2)2]1/2 (see Linkage Report).
