Evaluation of supplementary comparison EURAMET.M.P-S14 in the range 50 MPa to 1 GPa of hydraulic gauge pressure

Abstract

In this work, we present a mathematical procedure to evaluate a hydraulic gauge pressure comparison in the range to 1 GPa piloted by PTB and using a transfer standard consisting of two series of modern high-pressure transducers, i.e. eight pressure transducers in total. This set of parallel arranged transducers should ensure reliability of the transfer standard at high pressures and provide rich data for testing the performance of modern high-pressure transducers. The analysis of the comparison results was based on the evaluation of the individual measurement deviations of these transducers with respect to the laboratory standards, whereas the corresponding comparison reference values and their uncertainty were determined separately at each pressure point and pressure transducer. All these results were summarized to derive the degree of equivalence for each laboratory at each pressure which was found for all laboratories to be consistent at almost all pressures.
