EUROMET.T-K3, EURAMET.T-K3.3 and EURAMET.T-K3.5

NOMINAL TEMPERATURE : Argon Triple Point, 83.8058 K

  • Key comparison EUROMET.T-K3

For each fixed-point temperature, the difference (TR - TP) between the EUROMET reference value, TR, and TP, is computed as the weighted mean of all participants' results (Ti - TP), with weights inversely proportional to uiP, as explained in Section 8.1 of the Final Report.

For each fixed-point temperature, the degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to the EUROMET reference value is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in mK: Di = (Ti - TR), obtained from the differences relative to the Pilot Laboratory
Di = (Ti - TP) - (TR - TP), and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), involving the measurement uncertainty at laboratory i, the uncertainty associated with the stability of the travelling SPRTs, and the repeatability of the calibration at the Pilot Laboratory (see Section 8.2 of the Final Report).
For each fixed-point temperature, the degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in mK: Dij = Di - Dj, and Uij, its expanded uncertainty at a 95 % level of confidence. The computation of Uij between participants in the same loop, and participants in different loops is explained in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of the Final Report.
  • Linking EUROMET.T-K3 to CCT-K3

The Pilot Laboratory and the five Co-Pilots have participated in both comparisons.
The comparison of their averaged results in both exercises shows that they perform equally within 0.1 mK for all temperatures, except for the Zinc fixed-point temperature (0.23 mK) and the Tin fixed-point temperature (0.14 mK), as explained in Section 10.1 of the Final Report.
The uncertainty linked with the reproducibility between both exercises in also computed (see Table 28 on page 60 of the Final Report) and taken into account for the estimation of the pair-wise degrees of equivalence between participants in EUROMET.T-K3 and CCT-K3 (see Section 11.3 of the Final Report).

For each fixed-point temperature, the BIPM key comparison database displays the degrees of equivalence relative to the EUROMET reference value, and the pair-wise degrees of equivalence computed inside the EUROMET key comparison.

  • Linking EURAMET.T-K3.3 and EURAMET.T-K3.5 to EUROMET.T-K3 and CCT-K3

The LACOMET results obtained in EURAMET.T-K3.3 are linked to the results of EUROMET.T-K3 and CCT-K3 using the participation of CEM in EUROMET.T-K3, whose results are linked to those of CCT-K3, as described above.
The ROTH+CO.AG results obtained in EURAMET.T-K3.5 are linked to the results of EUROMET.T-K3 and CCT-K3 using the participation of VSL in EUROMET.T-K3.
This makes it possible to extend the EUROMET.T-K3 graphs of equivalence with LACOMET and ROTH+CO.AG results.
LACOMET degrees of equivalence relative to the CCT-K3 ARV are given on page 17 of the EURAMET.T-K3.3 Final Report.
The computation of ROTH+CO.AG degrees of equivalence relative to the CCT-K3 ARV is explained in Section 8.1 of the EURAMET.T-K3.5 Final Report.

For each fixed-point temperature, the difference (TR - TP) between the EUROMET reference value, TR, and TP, is computed as the weighted mean of all participants' results (Ti - TP), with weights inversely proportional to uiP, as explained in Section 8.1 of the Final Report.

For each fixed-point temperature, the degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to the EUROMET reference value is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in mK: Di = (Ti - TR), obtained from the differences relative to the Pilot Laboratory
Di = (Ti - TP) - (TR - TP), and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), involving the measurement uncertainty at laboratory i, the uncertainty associated with the stability of the travelling SPRTs, and the repeatability of the calibration at the Pilot Laboratory (see Section 8.2 of the Final Report).
For each fixed-point temperature, the degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in mK: Dij = Di - Dj, and Uij, its expanded uncertainty at a 95 % level of confidence. The computation of Uij between participants in the same loop, and participants in different loops is explained in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of the Final Report.
  • Linking EUROMET.T-K3 to CCT-K3

The Pilot Laboratory and the five Co-Pilots have participated in both comparisons.
The comparison of their averaged results in both exercises shows that they perform equally within 0.1 mK for all temperatures, except for the Zinc fixed-point temperature (0.23 mK) and the Tin fixed-point temperature (0.14 mK), as explained in Section 10.1 of the Final Report.
The uncertainty linked with the reproducibility between both exercises in also computed (see Table 28 on page 60 of the Final Report) and taken into account for the estimation of the pair-wise degrees of equivalence between participants in EUROMET.T-K3 and CCT-K3 (see Section 11.3 of the Final Report).

For each fixed-point temperature, the BIPM key comparison database displays the degrees of equivalence relative to the EUROMET reference value, and the pair-wise degrees of equivalence computed inside the EUROMET key comparison.
