Abstract
The project 19RPT02 “Improvement of the realisation of the mass scale” (EMPIR Call 2019 – Energy, Environment, Normative and Research Potential) has just started.<br />Its aim is to improve the quality of one of the most important tasks in mass metrology, the realisation of the mass scale. After the new definition of the kilogram this technique is getting more important.
Highlights
The overall aim is to improve calibration methods for the realisation of the mass scale.In the past, two EURAMET projects have tried to address the issues related to the realisation of the mass scale, but due to the complexity of the work, were unable to fully satisfy the requirements.The project includes the development of the design of the measurements; the improvement of the applied mathematical methods; provision of realistic algorithms and software tools for the realisation of the mass scale and the respective uncertainties
The most important scientific result of the proposed improvement in subdivision and multiplication techniques is that it could play an important role in preventing many National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) from being forced to increase their Calibration and Measurement Capabilities [15]
Second scientific results would be a reduction of the uncertainties via better mathematical methods
Summary
The overall aim is to improve calibration methods for the realisation of the mass scale. The project includes the development of the design of the measurements; the improvement of the applied mathematical methods; provision of realistic algorithms and software tools for the realisation of the mass scale and the respective uncertainties.
