Final report on EURAMET.T-K3.1: Bilateral comparison of the realisations of the ITS-90 at the fixed points of Hg, H2O, Ga, Sn and Zn

A bilateral comparison has been organized between VSL, The Netherlands, and BIM, Bulgaria, of the realisations of the international temperature scale ITS-90 at the fixed points of Hg, H2O, Ga, In, Sn and Zn using a long-stem SPRT of very good stability as the transfer device. This comparison is registered as EURAMET project T-K3.1 in the BIPM key comparison database and its results are linked to those of key comparison CCT-K3. This comparison was organized in the framework of Phare project BG 2005/017-353.02.02, Lot 1, and is in this framework financed by the EU. This project ran from March 2008 to the end of February 2009. For all points of the measurements, a good agreement between the results obtained by BIM and in CCT-K3 could be demonstrated.
