Dissemination of the Kilogram at METAS: Extended Method of Lagrange Multipliers for Air Buoyancy Correction
K. Marti
Abstract:
We present the current mathematical procedures at METAS for disseminating the kilogram. We compare the classical method for solving a linear system of equations of mass comparisons to the Lagrange multiplier method. In addition, we have studied the influence of redundancy in mass comparisons and found that the combined standard uncertainty can be reduced when using a redundant design matrix.
