Abstract

At its meeting in April 2015 in Washington D.C., the Inter-American Metrology System (SIM) Technical Committee for Fluid Flow (SIM MWG10) approved a Regional Key Comparison for Volume of Liquids at 20 Land 100 mL, to be piloted by the National Metrology Institute of Mexico (CENAM). The objective of this comparison is to demonstrate the degree of equivalence of the volume measurement standards held at National Measurement Institutes (NMIs) and to provide supporting evidence for the calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) claimed by the participating laboratories in the Americas.

The volume of liquids comparison is identified as SIM.M.FF-K4.1.2017 and performed with the intention to compare the performance of the participating NMIs regarding the determination of the volume of liquids at 20 L and 100 mL.
