  • Key comparison CCEM-K10

The key comparison reference value, xR, is obtained from the weighted mean of the Di-comb’s: xR = -0.14 x 10-9.
Its associated uncertainty (k = 2) is UR = 4.57 x 10-9 (see on page 8 of the CCEM-K10 Final Report).

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: the offset Di = Di-comb - xR, and its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Ui = (Ui-comb,T2 - UR2)1/2.

All uncertainties (except NMIA) are significantly greater than the laboratory’s claims due to the added transport uncertainty of the resistors. So these results are limited by the transportability of the resistors and not by the capability of the participants.

Therefore the degrees of equivalence between pairs of laboratories are not meaningful
.
  • Linking EUROMET.EM-K10 to CCEM-K10

The linking laboratories are MIKES, METAS, BIPM and PTB.
The linkage process is explained in Section 6.4 of the EUROMET Final Report.

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i, participant in EUROMET.EM-K10 only, with respect to the CCEM-K10 key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: the offset Di = Di EUR + xR EUR - xR, and its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
Ui = (Ui EUR2 + ULink2)1/2, with xR EUR - xR = 3.30 10-9 and ULink = 9.80 10-9.

MEASURAND : Resistance
NOMINAL VALUE : 100 ohms

PILOT LABORATORY : PTB

xi : result of measurement carried out by laboratory i, expressed as the relative deviation from the nominal value R0 = 100 ohms, namely Ri = R0·(1 + xi) where Ri is the resistance measured by laboratory i. The xis are corrected to a nominal temperature of 23 °C and a nominal pressure of 1013.25 hPa.
ULabi : expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of xi

Four different transfer standards have been used.

Individual measurements are combined as follows:
Di-comb : combined mean of the travelling standards relative differences from a least-squares regression of the PTB values for each travelling standard
Ui-comb : expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of Di-comb
Ui-comb,T : expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of Di-comb, including an additional travel uncertainty estimated to 7 x 10-9

The calculation of the Di-comb’s and the Ui-comb’s is described in detail in Section 6 on page 7 of the CCEM-K10 Final Report.

Measurements were carried out using three sets of transfer standards in three loops in parallel. Corresponding results are reported in Tables 1 to 9 of Appendix A of the Final Report.
Measurement dates are given in Section 2 of the Final Report.

The PTB is the only common laboratory to all loops and is used to link them (see Section 6 of the Final Report). Results are then expressed in terms of Di-comb EUR, the combined measurement of laboratory i relative to the PTB, and Ui-comb EUR, the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of Di-comb EUR taking into account the travel uncertainty. These values are available in Table 16 of the Final Report.

The EUROMET reference value, xR EUR, and its associated expanded uncertainty
(k = 2), UR EUR, are determined from the weighted mean of the Di-comb EUR with the Ui-comb EUR used as weights. In this calculation only one value is considered for the pilot laboratory, and to exclude possible correlation, only those laboratories having their own representation of the ohm, based on the QHE, are taken into consideration.
xR EUR = 4.0 10-9 and UR EUR = 6.0 10-9

Degrees of equivalence inside the EUROMET key comparison are deduced using the appropriate equations (see Section 6.3 of the Final Report). They are given by a pair of terms: Di EUR, the laboratory i offset relative to the EUROMET reference value, and the associated expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Ui EUR.
