SECTION 1 1 : GENERAL INFORMATION

This calibration was performed in Troemner's High Precision Level I Mass Metrology Laboratory at 201 Wolf Drive, Thorofare, New Jersey 08086 unless otherwise noted on page one.

SECTION 12: DEFINITIONS AND TERMS

MASS IN A VACUUM - The mass of a weight as if it were measured in a vacuum. Also known as True Mass.

MASS IN AIR - The conventional value of the result of weighing in air, in accordance to International Recommendation OIML R 33. For a weight taken at 20" C, the conventional mass is the mass of a reference weight of a density of 8000 k g ~ n - ~ w h i c h it balances in air of a density of 1.2 kg m-?

AS FOUND MASS IN A VACUUM - The measured value of the mass(es) as they were received by Troemner. If the customer requires cleaning prior to calibration, the after cleaning value would be reported.

AS LEFT MASS IN A VACUUM - The measured value of the mass(es) after they were adjusted, repaired or replaced when necessary. The As Found Mass in a Vacuum will equal the As Left Mass in a Vacuum if the mass(es) did not require adjustment, repair or replacement.

NOMINAL MASS - The mass value as marked on the weight.

CORRECTION - The difference between the mass value of a weight and its nominal value. A positive correction indicates that the mass value is greater than the nominal value by the amount of the correction.

AS FOUND CONVENTIONAL MASS CORRECTION - The conventional correction of the result, as it was received by Troemner, of weighing in air in accordance to International Recommendation R 33. For a weight taken at 20" C, the conventional mass is the mass of a reference weight of density 8000 kg m -3

which it balances in air density of 1.2 kgom -3. If the customer requires cleaning prior to calibration, the after cleaning correction would be reported.

AS LEFT CONVENTIONAL MASS CORRECTION - The conventional correction of the result, after adjust-, ment repair, or replacement of weighing in air in accordance to International Recommendation R 33. For a weight taken at 20" C, the conventional mass is the mass of a reference weight of density 8000 kg m -3

which it balances in air density of 1.2 kg.mw3. The As Found will equal the As Left Conventional Mass Correction if the mass(es) did not require adjustment, repair or replacement.

UNCERTAINTY - The error in assignment of the correction due to the measurement process. Uncertainty is calculated in accordance with UKAS document M3003 using a coverage factor of k = 2 ( k = 2 defines an interval having a level of confidence of approximately 95 percent).
