Show affiliationsA comparison of the standards for air kerma of the National Institute of Metrology of China and of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures was carried out in 60Co gamma radiation at the BIPM in December 2001. The ratio of the NIM and the BIPM standards for air kerma is 0.9992, with a combined standard uncertainty of 0.0018.
The degrees of equivalence between the NIM and the other participants in the ongoing key comparison BIPM.RI(I)-K1 have been calculated and the results are presented in the form of a matrix. A graphical presentation is also given.
