MEASURAND : Mass fraction of Aluminium in monoelemental standard solution
NOMINAL VALUE : 1 g/kg

The key comparison reference value is the gravimetric value xgrav of the Aluminium mass fraction. Its combined standard uncertainty is ugrav.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (xi - xgrav) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in g/kg, Ui = 2(ui2 + ugrav2)1/2.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms:
Dij = Di -Dj = (xi - xgrav) - (xj - xgrav) = xi - xj, and Uij, its expanded uncertainty
(k = 2), both expressed in g/kg, Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2.
