M. Neugebauer, THE UNCERTAINTY OF DIAMETER CALIBRATIONS WITH THE COMPARATOR FOR DIAMETER AND FORM, Measurement science & technology, 9(7), 1998, pp. 1053-1058
The PTB's new comparator for diameter and form was investigated and op
timized with the aim of reducing step by step the uncertainty of outer
diameter measurements to U = 10 nm per 100 mm measuring length. This
paper presents the measurement procedure, an error analysis and result
s of outer diameter measurements on a cylindrical standard of a pressu
re balance.
