Final report of APMP.AUV.V-K3.1: Key comparison in the field of acceleration on the complex voltage sensitivity

Abstract

Main textThis report presents the results of the APMP comparison in the area of 'vibration', which here refers to the calibration of the accelerometer standards set in compliance with method 1 or method 3 as recommended in the international standard ISO 16063-11:1999.The participants have reached a consensus and considered the most appropriate method, then referred to CCAUV.V-K3 report, the weighted mean and the degrees of equivalence were evaluated for this particular comparison. The calculation of the key weighted mean was in accordance with the Guidelines for CIPM key comparisons.The "linking" procedure was applied to establish the relationship between the results of the participants and those of the CIPM comparison in the field of vibration, which was CCAUV.V-K3. Only one pilot laboratory, NIM, acted as the linking laboratory. The linking factors were defined as the ratio and difference for magnitude and phase shift respectively through the NIM results in CCAUV.V-K3 and APMP.AUV.V-K3.1. Using the linking factors, this RMO results of six participants were directly compared with the results of CCAUV.V-K3.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 CCAUV, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
