Abstract
National Metrology Institutes from 6 African countries, namely Egypt, Nigeria, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Mauritius have participated in an international supplementary comparison on the calibration of pin gauges. This comparison was a part of larger supplementary comparison between 13 African countries for the calibration of hand measuring instruments. This larger comparison which was carried out during the period between December 2019 - December 2022 has been piloted by NIS, Egypt and has been registered in BIPM-KCDB database on December 2019. The artifacts have been prepared by NIS, Egypt and measured before sent to circulate between all participant countries in round-robin scheme and returned back again for NIS, Egypt where a final measurement is made for stability check. The main purpose of these comparisons is to support submission of CMCs for calibration of hand length measuring instruments in BIPM-KCDB. 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 CCL, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
期刊介绍:
Published 6 times per year, Metrologia covers the fundamentals of measurements, particularly those dealing with the seven base units of the International System of Units (metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela, mole) or proposals to replace them.
The journal also publishes papers that contribute to the solution of difficult measurement problems and improve the accuracy of derived units and constants that are of fundamental importance to physics.
In addition to regular papers, the journal publishes review articles, issues devoted to single topics of timely interest and occasional conference proceedings. Letters to the Editor and Short Communications (generally three pages or less) are also considered.
