Abstract

ntro Nacional de Metrologia (CENAM), Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Measurement Canada (MC), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintain the national primary standard facilities for the measurement of volume in Mexico, German, Canada, and USA, respectively. These laboratories have compared volume measurements at 50 L. It was accomplished by each laboratory calibrating a transfer standard volume that was circulated among the laboratories. CENAM was the pilot laboratory. All of the participants used gravimetric methods. The maximum and minimum reported volumes differ by 0.0098 percent.
