Abstract

In order to verify the agreement of results and procedures between eleven European National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) for large volume instruments, a EURAMET comparison “Inter-comparison of 1000 L proving tank”, was performed. This paper describes the transfer standard, the calibration methods and equations for the determination of the volume, the experimental conditions and the measurement results with the correspondent associated uncertainties. This comparison made it possible, within EURAMET, to have a comparison for large volumes. Before this comparison EURAMET comparisons where arranged in the µL range and volumes like 100 mL, 5 L and 20 L.
