Abstract

The main features of the RealMass Calibration software, a tool for mass standards calibration developed at the INRiM, are described. It was developed under the Matlab environment and will be distributed as an executable file on the INRiM website for free download. The software tool has a user-friendly graphical interface to be easily applied by final users. The software is capable of perform advanced mass calibrations processing at the state of the art. Although it can be use at the high-test levels for the mass scale realisation, the user-friendly features also make it suitable for routine calibrations for accredited laboratories. The elaboration of the measurements, defined by the weighing designs, can be performed by the weighted least-squares with Lagrange multipliers and the Gauss Markov estimator. It can take into account uncertainties and correlations of the input quantities, as: between the reference standards, air density measurements and between values of mass and volume of the standards. Tolls to check the consistency of the results are also provided. Validation and the applications to a real case studies are also shown.
