INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON ON CALIBRATION OF DUROMETERS OF TYPES "A" AND "D" IN TURKEY
Abstract
Many accredited calibration laboratories in Turkey have extended their calibration scopes and begun to serve calibration of durometers as a result of clients’ demand. Interlaboratory comparison is one of the best ways for assuring the quality of the calibration results and a proof of the dissemination of the SI units to industry for accredited calibration laboratories. For this reason TURKAK (Turkish Accreditation Agency) and TÜBITAK UME (National Metrology Institute of Turkey) for first time had decided to organize an interlaboratory comparison which was piloted by UME Hardness Laboratory in the field of verification/calibration of durometers type A and D, the very widely used rubber hardness measurement methods in Turkey. Besides UME, 6 accredited laboratories participated in the comparison and <i>E</i><sub>n</sub> numbers for all ranges and measured quantities between the pilot and each participating laboratory were evaluated. In this paper the comparison method and results are explained.
