This key comparison evaluates force standards at various levels in a bilateral study, indicating consistency in results.
Main text This report describes CIPM Key Comparison CCM.F-K2.a.2, for force values of 5 kN, 10 kN, 20 kN, 50 kN, 100 kN, and 200 kN. The work is a bilateral key comparison between NPL and PTB, comparing PTB's new 200 kN deadweight force standard machine with NPL's 120 kN and 1.2 MN deadweight force standard machines. The results at 50 kN and 100 kN are linked to the KCRVs determined in CCM.F-K2.a via NPL's 120 kN machine and demonstrate that the PTB results are consistent with their uncertainty claims.
