1. Introduction The APMP bilateral key comparison APMP.T-K3.4 was initiated by the request of RCM-LIPI (Indonesia) to link their national standards to the average reference values (ARVs) of the CCT-K3. Korea research institute of standards and science (KRISS, Republic of Korea) was requested to provide the linkage to the CCT-K3 for the temperature range from -38.8344 C to 419.57 C. The protocol of the comparison (Appendix 1) was agreed by both the laboratories in 011, and the comparison was carried out in a participant-pilot-participant sequence from 011 to 013. In the APMP.T-K3.4, two standard platinum resistance thermometers (SPRTs) were chosen as the artifacts, and they were calibrated at the ITS-90 fixed-points in the comparison range. The fixed-points in this comparison included Zn FP (419.57 C), Sn FP (31.98 C), In FP (156.5985 C), Ga MP (9.7646 C), and Hg TP (-38.8344 C). The protocol of the APMP.T-K3.4 provided general guidance of the comparison and the measurement sequence to be performed. Actual realization of the fixed-points and measurement with the artifacts were carried out according to the local practice. Participants including the pilot were asked to make all the required corrections such that the resistance ratios were equivalent to the ITS-90 assigned temperature values at 0 ma..

Artifact The artifacts used for this comparison were two SPRTs, and they were provided by RCM-LIPI. The specifications of the artifacts are as follows. 3

- Serial number: 136 and 160 (hereafter referred to as artifact 1 and artifact ) - Model: 670SQ - Manufacturer: Isotech - Sheath type: Quartz sheathed - Sensing element length: 35 mm (distance from the tip of the thermometer to the mid-point of the sensing element: around 5 mm) 4. Measurement procedure The SPRTs were first calibrated at RCM-LIPI before being sent to KRISS, the pilot laboratory. After the calibration at KRISS, the artifacts were sent back to RCM-LIPI to repeat the calibration. Transportation of the artifacts was done by hand-carrying. Measurements at fixed-points were performed in order of decreasing temperatures alternating with measurements at the triple point of water. 5. Summary of raw data submissions Raw data from the participating laboratories are given in Appendix. However, for convenience, the reported resistance ratios are duplicated here in Tables 1 and.

6. Link from APMP.T-K3.4 to CCT-K3 6.1. Linkage mechanism KRISS participated in the CCT-K3 and served as the linking laboratory in the APMP.T-K3.4. The linkage was from the fixed-point resistance ratios of RCM-LIPI to the ARVs of the CCT-K3 through the difference between the fixed-point resistance ratios of KRISS and the ARVs of the CCT-K3. The linkage mechanism is as follows.

The fixed-point temperature difference between KRISS and RCM-LIPI in the APMP.T-K3.4, K3.4 APMP.T K3.4 T RCM LIPI APMP.T KRISS was defined as the average of the measured differences from the two artifacts.

In the APMP.T-K3.4, as the same fixed-point cells were used, this difference vanished but only had uncertainties.

CCTK3 CCTK3, the results from the CCT-K3 was used. Table 4.

In this comparison, SPRT cutoff criteria were used to ensure that uncertainty associated with the travel, handling, or stability of either SPRT did not dominate the standard uncertainty of the temperature difference. In this regard, the test for the stability of the travelling artifacts was based on measurements done by RCM-LIPI before and after the travel to KRISS. Eqs. (9) and (10) show the cutoff criteria used in this comparison, and an artifact which met both the two criteria was not included in the calculation.

The expanded uncertainty in the temperature difference between the fixed-point cells of KRISS used in the APMP.T-K3.4 and those in the CCT-K3, T KRISS KRISS using the following equation. U was evaluated APMP.T K3.4 CCTK3 U T KRISS U uc K3.4 KRISSCCTK3 TKRISS U TKRISS APMP.T APMP.T K3.4 uc CCTK3 (1) Here, the subscript uc refers to the uncorrelated uncertainty components in the fixed-point resistance ratio measurements. In this comparison, only the uncertainties due to the chemical impurity and to the hydrostatic head correction were assumed to be correlated. This assumption was based on the fact that the reference fixed-point cells at KRISS had been strictly restricted in use except for international comparisons and calibrations of other fixed-point cells. Thus, contamination of the samples since the CCT-K3 was thought to be unlikely. Therefore, as the same fixed-point cells were employed in the APMP.T-K3.4, uncertainty components related with the physical content and the geometry of the fixed- 8

point cells were assumed to be correlated, which were the uncertainties due to the chemical impurity and to the hydrostatic head correction. The expanded uncertainty in the temperature difference between the fixed-point resistance ratios of KRISS in the CCT-K3 and the ARVs of the CCT-K3 was available in the final report of the CCT-K3, and is reproduced in Table 4. 6.. Data analysis Table 5 shows the results of the cutoff criteria analysis. As shown in the table, since no artifacts failed both the criteria, the data from the two artifacts were all used in the following analysis. Hg TP 0.54 0.14 1.6 1.4 Passed Passed Table 5.

Averaged fixed-point temperature difference between RCM-LIPI and KRISS, and corresponding expanded uncertainty (95 % level of confidence and k = ). In order to complete the linkage, it was needed to evaluate the uncertainty in the temperature difference between the fixed-point cells of KRISS used in the APMP.T-K3.4 and those in the CCT-K3, T KRISS APMP.T -K3.4 KRISS CCTK3. As noted above, since the fixed-point cells used in the APMP.T- K3.4 were the same as those in the CCT-K3, the temperature difference did not influence the linkage, but its uncertainty affected the linkage. The uncertainty in that temperature difference accounted for any 10

uncorrelated uncertainties in the realization of the fixed-point and in the measurement of the resistance ratio. In this comparison, only the uncertainties due to the chemical impurity and the hydrostatic head correction were assumed to be correlated.

Appendix 1: Protocol of the APMP.T-K3.4 Bilateral Comparison from the Hg TP to the Zn FP between KRISS and KIM-LIPI Objective: This comparison is designed to compare the realization of the ITS-90 through the calibration of SPRTs. The range of temperature covered in this comparison is from the triple point of Hg (34.3156 K) to the freezing point of Zn (69.677 K). The transfer standards used will be long-stem SPRTs. NMI Participants: Pilot: KRISS, ukchul Joung, wukchul.joung@kriss.re.kr Participating lab: KIM-LIPI, Beni Adi Trisna, beni@kim.lipi.go.id Projected Timeline: Protocol Agreement June 30, 011 Transfer Standards Sent to KRISS September 30, 011 Transfer Standards Returned to KIM-LIPI December 31, 011 Transfer Standards Re-Measured by KIM-LIPI March 31, 01 Draft A Report Completed April 30, 01 Participants will supply the following information: ITS-90 calibrated SPRTs o o o NMI participant will select their own SPRTs based on their own criteria for suitability and will convey the selection criteria to the Pilot Laboratory SPRTs must be calibrated by NMI participant before measurements are made by the pilot and then again on return from the pilot SPRTs are to be measured at every available fixed-point cell over the range of the comparison including the In FP and Ga MP Calibration results supplied in FP with all corrections applied by the NMI such that the FP values are equivalent to the ITS-90 assigned temperature values for 0 ma. Uncertainties, u FP SPRTi, may be specific to each SPRT or a nominal uncertainty may be given for both SPRTs. The calibration results should be based on 3 repeated measurements at each fixed point. 17

o Appendix A gives a reporting worksheet The measurement equation used to compute each calibration result with an indication of which inputs vary randomly for each realized equilibrium and which inputs are systematic across all equilibria for each fixed point within this comparison o Any quantities in the measurement equation that are a mixture of random and systematic effects for each SPRT should be broken into constituent parts that are either purely random or purely systematic within this comparison. An example of an SPRT measurement is given in Appendix B. Uncertainty budget compliant with CCT G3 that includes degrees of freedom associated each component o A suggested fixed-point cell uncertainty budget is given in Appendix C Sources of uncertainty may be added or deleted as needed An NMI may choose to supply their own uncertainty budget (CMC and G3 compliant) that includes degrees of freedom for each source of uncertainty Please identify which components of the uncertainty budget are associated with random effects in FP and which are associated with systematic effects in FP within this comparison. Heat Flux (Immersion) profile for each fixed-point cell used o [R(FP), 0 ma] and corresponding [immersion depth (sensor midpoint), cm] Reporting the calibration results: The participating NMIs should report FP to the independent party within weeks after completing the measurement without informing the results to the other participating laboratory. After receiving all results from the participating laboratories (two results from KIM-LIPI, one from KRISS), the independent party will forward the results to the pilot laboratory. After reporting FP to the independent party, the participating NMI (KIM-LIPI) should send all the results and required information to KRISS (ukchul Joung, wukchul.joung@kriss.re.kr). If you have questions about any aspect of the protocol or are not sure how to report something that is requested, please contact ukchul Joung prior to submitting your report. After reviewing a ll submitted reports, we will contact you if there is anything that is unclear to us or if any addi tional information is needed to complete the analysis of the data. Method of Analysis: 18

The fixed-point realization temperature differences between KRISS and KIM-LIPI will be calculated using the following equations: T KIM LIPI 1 T T KIM LIPI,SPRT1 KIM LIPI, SPRT where T KIM FP FP KIM LIPI,SPRT i i LIPI,SPRT i SPRT. i d r dt KRISS,SPRT C C SPRT is a term used to account for uncertainty associated with the travel, handling, or stability of each i SPRT and is taken to have a value of C and a standard uncertainty, u SPRT i C SPRTi, of u C SPRTi FPKIM LIPI,SPRT FP i,postkriss d dt 1 KIM LIPI,SPRT i,pre KRISS. r An SPRT cutoff criterion for use in calculating values of T KIM LIPI will be used to ensure that uncertainty associated with the travel, handling, or stability of either SPRT does not dominate the standard uncertainty of T, u KIM LIPI T KIMLIPI. The cutoff criterion will be based on the statistical agreement between each SPRT s resistance ratios before and after its travel to KRISS and the magnitude of u C SPRTi. The mathematical definition for the cutoff criterion will be: and u C FPKIM LIPI,SPRT FP d d i,postkriss KIM LIPI,SPRT i,pre KRISS r T FP u FP u R SPRTi KIM LIPI,SPRT i,postkriss u T uc KIM LIPI 3 SPRTi In the cutoff criterion above, R R FP KIM LIPI,SPRT i KIM LIPI,SPRT i,pre KRISS t 0.95, eff Resultsfrom SPRTi willnot be used u is the combined standard uncertainty from all sources of random uncertainty for each SPRT and t is the appropriate quantile of the Student s t 0.95, eff distribution with eff degrees of freedom needed to compute an approximate 95 % confidence interval for the temperature difference observed after travel to and from KRISS for each SPRT. 19
