MEASURAND           Equivalent activity of Cu-64

 

Key comparison reference value: the SIR key comparison reference value xR for this radionuclide is  xR = 80.99 MBq with a standard uncertainty uR = 0.34 MBq

5see the most recent KCRV updateSection 4 of Metrologia 2013 50 Tech. Suppl. 06021). The value xi is taken as the equivalent activity for a laboratory i.

 

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms:

Di = (x- xR) and Uits expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq, and

Ui = 2((1 - 2wi)ui2 + u2R)1/2, where wi is the weight of laboratory i contributing to the calculation of xR.

The degrees of equivalence are also given in relative terms by Di = (xI - xR) /xR and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence, both expressed in kBq/MBq.

 

Linking BIPM.RI(II)-K4.Cu-64 to BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Cu-64

The value xi is the SIRTI equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in BIPM.RI(II)-K4.Cu-64 multiplied by the linking factor to BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Cu-64.

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in BIPM.RI(II)-K4.F-18 with respect to the 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 following table.

These statements make it possible to extend the BIPM.RI(II)-K1.F-18 matrices of equivalence to all participants in the BIPM.RI(II)-K4.Cu-64 comparisons
