		When a comparison is undertaken at the BIPM, both the NMI and the BIPM measure the air kerma, each using their own standard, and the comparison result is expressed as the ratio RNMI of the two values.
		The BIPM standards are very stable, showing a relative standard uncertainty of the distribution of 60Co air kerma measurements over 8 years of 0.02 % while repeated calibrations of the BIPM transfer standard type NE 2571 show a standard uncertainty of the distribution of 0.03 %.
		For 60Co calibrations, the difference between a new calibration factor in terms of air kerma and an earlier one is usually consistent with the statistical uncertainty of a calibration (0.07 %)(5).

	Litre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prior to 1979, the symbol ℓ (script small l, U+2113), came into common use in some countries; for example, it was recommended by South African Bureau of Standards publication M33 in the 1970s.
		This symbol can still be encountered occasionally in some English-speaking countries, but it is not used in most countries and not officially recognised by the BIPM, the International Organization for Standardization, or any national standards body.
		It also expressed a preference that in the future only one of these two symbols should be retained, but in 1990 said it was still too early to do so.

	``Bicentenary of the Cavendish Experiment" Conference
		Thus the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Cavendish's G measurement with a conference in London last November, sponsored by IOP and organized by Terry Quinn of the BIPM and Clive Speake, drew a lively crowd of G measurers to Cavendish's turf.
		BIPM uses a torsion balance suspended by a thin flat metal strip; its dominant torsional restoring force is gravitational, thus minimizing anelastic dangers.
		BIPM plans to use its instrument in two ways to measure G, in both a static displacement mode and a "time of swing" dynamic mode, aiming for a solidly reliable measurement at a 100 ppm level.

	BIPM
		BIPM then applies frequency corrections ("steers") to EAL, based on measurements from primary frequency standards and intended to keep the International System's basic unit of time, the second, constant.
		The difference between UTC (computed by BIPM) and any other timing center's UTC only becomes known after computation and dissemination of UTC, which occurs about two weeks after the fact.
		The principle behind this arrangement is that measurements against the real-time reference MC #2 are immutable facts, whereas improvements are made in our unsteered internal mean timescale A.1 as systematic disturbances are identified after the fact.

		KIII was placed in a safe at the BIPM in 1882, was chosen by the CIPM to be the International Prototype Kilogram, and was ratified as such by the 1st "Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures" (CGPM) in 1889.
		Since its foundation in 1875 and until 1973, the BIPM used two equal-arm mechanical balances: the Bunge balance that was in service between 1879 and 1951 and the Rueprecht balance that served the BIPM's needs from 1878 until 1974 (2).
		NBS-2 was used for the calibration of 1 kg standards at the BIPM between 1973 and 1992, replacing the Rueprecht balance that was nearing 100 years of age.

	Changes related to the BIPM standard
		The BIPM standard has undergone some changes since the paper of Bielajew and Rogers was published[
		In 1996 the BIPM reported some changes in the correction factors because of a change in the source, which increased the scatter component of the beam significantly, and they moved from a calibration point at 112 cm to one at 100 cm[
		These values implied that the BIPM standard would change by +0.25% if the NRC corrections were applied.

		It meets every year, appoints the Director and higher staff of the BIPM, convenes the CGPM, drafts the resolutions to be adopted formally such as redefinition of meter or the second, proposes the budget and the work program of the BIPM for approval.
		As the scope of fundamental metrology and the activities of the BIPM have considerably extended since its inception, CIPM created a few consultative committees, from whom it takes advice on all scientific matters about which decisions have to be prepared or endorsed by CIPM.
		Through the NMIs that are members of these CCs, CIPM and in turn BIPM ensures that the scientific community is prepared to agree on the resolutions and ready to implement them as the most appropriate.

		The different results at PTB and BIPM could have been caused by an instability of the Cp artefact itself or by undesireble behaviour of the balance when weighing this artefact.
		The history of the PTB travelling artefacts, having been measured by the participants over eights years, shows a much better reproducibility for the vacuum mass differences than the for the air differences, which were corrected for buoyancy using the CIPM formula and measurements of temperature, pressure, humidity and CO2 content.
		Is is planned to continue the comparisons in air and in vacuum with BIPM, NPL, PTB and possibly with CEM, which envisages performing vacuum measurements and joining the project.

		This electrostatic torque is generated by applying an AC voltage between the test masses and a pair of thin copper electrodes near each mass.
		The BIPM team encountered similar problems in the early days of its experiments when it was using a DC servo system.
		"The BIPM experiment has a relatively open arrangement of electrostatic components with insulating materials in it," he says, "whereas we had a nearly closed electrometer box without any insulators." Nonetheless, the PTB team will soon be performing a new experiment together with specialists in the measurement of capacitance.
