The subsequent key comparison K73.2018.2 was performed to demonstrate the capability of the participating institutes to measure the amount content of H+ in hydrochloric acid as a follow-up of the previous key comparison CCQM-K73.2018. A HCl solution of a slightly different composition to that in CCQM-K73.2018 was used. There were two institutes and SMU as the coordinating laboratory participating in this subsequent comparison. UkrCSM obtained results in good agreement with the reference value; INMETRO results exhibited a large bias due to a calculation error found only after disclosure of the results.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCQM, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).

This report summarizes the results and performances of APMP.EM-K12, APMP key comparison of AC-DC current transfer standards of 10 mA and 5 A at frequencies of 10 Hz, 55 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, 20 kHz, 50 kHz, and 100 kHz. Ten National Metrology Institutes participated in this key comparison, including NMC/A*STAR (Singapore, pilot Laboratory), NMIA (Australia), SCL (Hong Kong, China), NMIJ (Japan), KRISS (Rep of Korea), NIM (China), NMISA (South Africa), NIMT (Thailand), NMIM (Malaysia), and CMS/ITRI (Chinese Taipei). The key comparison is linked to the CCEM one, CCCEM-K12, with same measurement quantities through the performances of two laboratories, NMC and NMIA, in both key comparisons. The degrees of equivalence of individual participating laboratories with the reference values of CCEM-K12 were thus concluded in this report.

This is the final report for APMP supplementary comparison APMP.AUV.V-S2 in the area of 'vibration' (quantity of rotational speed). The aim of this comparison was to compare primary measurements of rotational speed in the range from 30 r/min to 99 996 r/min. Six Metrology Institutes from two RMOs, APMP and AFRIMETS, have participated in the comparison with the National Institute of Metrology, P.R. China as the pilot lab. NIM, NMC and NIS used a mechanical generator for calibration, with expanded uncertainties in the order from 10-3 to 10-5. NML, NIMT and KEBS used an optical simulator for calibration, with expanded uncertainties in the order from 10-4 to 10-5. All the participating laboratories provided their calibration results, which were all consistent within their declared expanded uncertainties for the measurement results. Each participant contributed to the SCRVs calculated for five rotational speed comparison values of two laser tachometers, NLYZ-02 and 03, except that NIS's measurement results of NLYZ-03 are invalid. Smaller measurement uncertainties than the order of 10-5 for the calibration of laser tachometers are difficult to achieve for either mechanical generators or optical simulators with the current technology of rotational speed standard devices and laser tachometers.

Recertification is a common practice in National Metrology Institutes whenever advances are made in certified reference material (CRM) characterization procedures, which play a key role in metrological traceability. This article compares measurements of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in toluene by gas chromatography isotopic dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) using either an calibration curve or the exact matching approach. The multi-point IDMS calibration curve was used on the original CRM certification and the exact matching approach was carried out on its recertification. The measurement uncertainties by exact matching approach (0.3%–1.0%) were approximately 5 times smaller than those obtained using the calibration curve (1.5%–4.4%) for all PAHs, reducing the uncertainty component due to characterization of PAH CRM. This new characterization study added reliability, increased accuracy and reduced the measurement uncertainty of the Inmetro CRM, with metrological traceability to the International System of Units. The exact-matching isotope dilution is an important technique to value assign organic compounds in CRMs, an action that consolidates the chemical metrology in the Brazilian Metrology Institute.

The demand for traceable hydrophone calibrations at low frequencies in support of ocean monitoring applications requires primary standard methods that are able to realise the acoustic pascal. In this paper, a new method for primary calibration of hydrophones is described based on the use of a calculable pistonphone to cover frequencies from 0.5 Hz to 250 Hz. The design consists of a pre-stressed piezoelectric stack driving a piston to create a varying pressure in an air-filled enclosed cavity, the displacement (and so the volume velocity) of the piston being measured by a laser interferometer. The dimensions of the front cavity were designed to allow the calibration of reference hydrophones, but it may also be used to calibrate microphones. Examples of calibration results for several sensors are presented alongside an uncertainty budget for hydrophone calibration with expanded uncertainties ranging from 0.45 dB at 0.5 Hz to 0.30 dB at 20 Hz, and to 0.35 at 250 Hz (expressed for a coverage factor of k = 2). The metrological performance is demonstrated by comparisons with results for other calibration methods and an independent implementation of primary calibration methods at other institutes.

Main textThe key comparison EURAMET.M.D-K2.2 (1523)on the density of liquids determined by oscillation type density meters was organized and carried out within the framework of the EMPIR project 17RPT02 "rhoLiq". Density measurements of liquids are mainly performed by laboratories calibrating or checking liquid density measuring instruments such as oscillation-type density meters. Another aim of this comparison was to establish traceability for liquid density measurements at emerging National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) to enable them to provide high-level measurement and calibration services for national stakeholders, e.g. food, chemical, pharmaceutical and petroleum industries. The results of this comparison can be used to claim calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs).Most European emerging NMIs in this project had not yet participated in comparisons or obtained unsatisfactory results, or the uncertainty had an unfit magnitude for purpose.BEV (Austria) piloted this comparison, supported by PTB (Germany).Samples of deuterated water, tetrachloroethylene and oil of high viscosity were measured in the temperature range from 5 °C to 20 °C at atmospheric pressure by hydrostatic weighing for this comparison.The coronavirus pandemic caused delays in the proposed initial schedule of this key comparison. Measurements were performed in 2021. The reference values of the key comparison were linked to CCM.D-K2 for PTB and EURAMET.M.D-K2 for BEV.To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report. Note that this text is that which appears in Appendix B of the BIPM key comparison database https://www.bipm.org/kcdb/.The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCM, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).

Density measurements of liquids are mainly performed by laboratories calibrating or checking liquid density measuring instruments such as oscillation-type density meters. Another aim of this comparison was to establish traceability for liquid density measurements at emerging National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) to enable them to provide high-level measurement and calibration services for national stakeholders, e.g. food, chemical, pharmaceutical and petroleum industries. The results of this comparison can be used to claim calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs).Most European emerging NMIs in this project had not yet participated in comparisons or obtained unsatisfactory results, or the uncertainty had an unfit magnitude for purpose.BEV (Austria) piloted this comparison, supported by PTB (Germany).Samples of deuterated water, tetrachloroethylene and oil of high viscosity were measured in the temperature range from 5 °C to 20 °C at atmospheric pressure by hydrostatic weighing for this comparison.The coronavirus pandemic caused delays in the proposed initial schedule of this key comparison. Measurements were performed in 2021. The reference values of the key comparison were linked to CCM.D-K2 for PTB and EURAMET.M.D-K2 for BEV.To reach the main text of this paper, click on <ext-link xlink:href=\"https://www.bipm.org/documents/d/guest/euramet-m-d-k2-2\" xlink:type=\"simple\">Final Report</ext-link>.
