This page proposes print-out on A4 paper (portrait) of the comparison details (best printed out using a black and white printer).
Please, select items to be printed out, then click on "OK" :
MEASURAND : Distance between the centre line position of the reference line and the centre line position of the measured line of the linescale
NOMINAL VALUES : 30 nominal values from 0.1 mm to 100 mm
TRANSFER STANDARDS : two linescales designated as "Scale A" and "Scale B"
For each nominal value and for each linescale, the reference value, xR, and its combined standard uncertainty, uR, are obtained from the weighted mean of the participant results with outliers excluded, as explained in Chapter 7 of the Final Report (The list of laboratories excluded from the calculation of the reference values is given in Table 11 on page 34 of the same Final Report). |
For each nominal value, the degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = xi - xR and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2). |
Pair-wise degrees of equivalence are not computed for this key comparison. |
