Abstract

A new type of a 1 kg vacuum mass comparator was developed in a collaboration between the Sartorius AG, the Technical University Ilmenau and the BIPM. The first comparator of this new type was installed at PTB. In this paper the set-up of the system and the local conditions are described. First results of measurements in air and in vacuum are presented.
