Agenda:
Each participant introduced himself and gave a short presentation of the most relevant activities undergoing in the respective laboratories.
Prioritization of future KC/SCs: The results of the survey performed by the previous chair in spring 2022 were summarized and the attendees were asked to update their individual needs of future KC/SCs. The members confirmed the pressing need for a radiation thermometry (CCT-K10-like) KC, an SPRTs at fixed points (CCT-K9-like) KC, and a relative humidity KC. A more systematic inventory of the KC needs was requested.
Planning of next KC/SCs: INTI (Argentina) offered to pilot the next SIM KC of SPRTs at fixed points (a preliminary investigation is required to understand if INTI’s current uncertainties are sufficiently low to guarantee a proper linkage to the SIM participants in the comparison). NIST offered to pilot a SIM SC in the field of relative humidity. INMETRO offered to support the pilot.
Training: The SIM/NIST free calibration and guest researcher opportunities were recalled (Wes Tew, NIST can provide information). The SIM Award for early career metrologist 2023 was reminded.
NEXT SIM MWG3 meeting: A virtual follow-up meeting was planned for September 2023
Other activities
In the same week, the SIM MWG3 members attended a series of three ITS10/MSC Workshop Sessions on Temperature and Humidity Measurements and followed and contributed to the ITS10 sessions, scheduled in the days following the meeting.
