The Nist Magnetic Suspension Mass Comparator: A Look at Type B Uncertainty

• Abstract:

  The magnetic suspension mass comparator is a unique system for calibrating kilogram artifacts between vacuum and air. While the magnetic suspension mass comparator allows for direct vacuum-to-air mass measurements, there are several corrections that need to be taken into account. Here, we discuss in greater detail our work to understand the systematic error that results from magnetic interactions with the outside world.
