Abstract

This study examines the efficacy of interlaboratory comparison tests in evaluating the calibration of analogue bimetal thermometers and dry-block calibrators. These instruments play a pivotal role in various industrial applications involving temperature measurement and calibration. The Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) organized a bilateral interlaboratory comparison with a foreign public authority laboratory, focusing on the calibration of a dry-block calibrator and an analogue bimetal thermometer. Interlaboratory comparison tests are expected to reveal consistent calibration results with E_n values less than one, signifying comparable calibration outcomes across different laboratories. While measurement uncertainties may vary between laboratories, these differences are anticipated to remain within acceptable limits as defined by international standards. Participation in interlaboratory comparison tests enhances the technical competencies of laboratories, particularly in calibration accuracy and uncertainty management.

公共机构间干块校定器和温度计校准的国际双边实验室间比较测量

本研究考察了实验室间比较测试在评估模拟双金属温度计和干块校准器校准中的功效。这些仪器在涉及温度测量和校准的各种工业应用中起着关键作用。土耳其标准协会（TSE）与一个外国公共权威实验室组织了一次双边实验室间比较，重点是校准干块校准器和模拟双金属温度计。实验室间比较测试应显示En值小于1的一致校准结果，表明不同实验室的校准结果具有可比性。虽然不同实验室的测量不确定度可能不同，但这些差异预计将保持在国际标准规定的可接受范围内。参与实验室间比较测试提高了实验室的技术能力，特别是在校准准确性和不确定度管理方面。
