Final report on force key comparison CCM.F-K2.a and CCM.F-K2.b (50 kN and 100 kN)

The CCM Force Working Group met in October 1998 in Sydney and made decisions about CIPM Key Comparisons for the unit of force. These were to cover four force ranges, with four different pilot laboratories: i) 5 kN – 10 kN Pilot: MIKES-Raute, Finland ii) 50 kN – 100 kN Pilot: NPL, United Kingdom iii) 500 kN – 1 MN Pilot: PTB, Germany iv) 2 MN – 4 MN Pilot: NIST, USA This report gives the results for Key Comparison ii), piloted by NPL and officially designated CCM.F-K2.a (Scheme A) and CCM.F-K2.b (Scheme B) by CIPM (see Section 4 for details of Scheme A and Scheme B).
