Introduction The national interlaboratory comparison program on humidity measurement was firstly proposed at the 1st Temp club meeting in 2008 by Department of Thermometry Metrology, NIMT. A main objective of this program is to identify the measurement capability in relative humidity of any secondary calibration laboratory in Thailand. In addition, this project has been undertaken to improve the dissemination of relative humidity measurement in Thailand. The first inquiry of interest was circulated in October 2006. Based on the feedback, a preliminary protocol was sent to all interested laboratories in November 2008. A final protocol was sent to and approved by all participating laboratories before the start of the comparison. NIMT offered two electronic thermo-hygrometers as transfer standards for relative humidity. The comparison range covers the relative humidity from 20%rh to 80%rh, accepted by all participating The first period of comparison was hold from January 2009 to October 2009. NIMT was the first laboratory to calibrate the artefact and then the transfer standard was sent to all participating laboratories as listed in Appendix A. The sequences of laboratories were shown in Appendix B, separated in two loops. The second period was concerned by NIMT about collection and evaluation of all measurement results, as well as preparation of the comparison report. In details, results of stability check of two artefacts measured by NIMT are shown in chapter 4, along with their reproducibility in chapter 5. More details in calculation of interpolation error are described in chapter 6. Then a summary of comparison results are presented in chapter 7. In addition, comparison reference values for this comparison are analyzed in chapter 8 and then the degree of equivalences for each laboratory are calculated in term of difference from the calibration reference values as shown in chapter 9. 2 The artefact Artefacts are Electronic Thermo-Hygrometers range 20%rh to 90%rh in air @ 25oC and atmospheric pressure. Their specifications are shown below. Temperature Range and Accuracy – “H” Model 16 °C to 24 °C: ± 0.125 °C (calibrated) 0 °C to 16 °C, 24 °C to 50 °C: ± 0.5 °C (uncalibrated typical) RH Range and Accuracy – “H” Model 20 % to 70 % RH: ± 1.5 % RH (calibrated) 0 % to 20 % RH, 70 % to 100 % RH: ± 3 % RH (uncalibrated, typical) RH Resolution User selectable up to 0.01 % (on front-panel display) Last Updated : 15/4/20 Intercomparison No. HL-01 3 Page 3 of 22 Condition of Artefact The ambient temperature of the laboratory should be within (23 ± 3)oC and the ambient relative humidity should be within (50 ± 20) % during the calibration. The electronic thermo-hygrometers were calibrated by NIMT using a two pressure humidity generator checked with a dew-point hygrometer. The measuring point of artefacts in relative humidity are 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80% at the fixed temperature of 25°C. However only 9 laboratories performed the first measuring point at 30%rh, while 14 laboratories performed the last point at 80%rh. Over the period of the measurement, the comparison went well until repeated measurement by the pilot laboratory. Moreover any physical damage was not found after the returning to NIMT. 4 Stability check of the artefacts The stability of the artefacts during the comparison was checked by comparison with the primary standard generator of NIMT. For all comparison points, the artefacts were checked firstly before sending to the first participant, during the comparison process and finally after the last measurement as scheduled. For the artefact S/N: A72176+A7A935, the measurement was performed for 3 times to evaluate the differences from the NIMT standard. The stability in terms of change from the first measurement are graphically shown in Figure 1 2nd 3rd Changefrom1stmeasurement,%rh 0.0 -0.2 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 -0.4 -0.6 -0.8 -1.0 -1.2 RelativeHumidityPoint(%rh) Figure 1 Stability of the artefact S/N:A72176+A7A935 Last Updated : 15/4/20 80 90 Intercomparison No. HL-01 Page 4 of 22 For the artefact S/N: A72177+A72146, the measurement was performed for 4 times and its changes from the first measurement are graphically shown in Figure 2. 2nd 3rd 4th Changefrom1stmeasurement,%rh 0.0 -0.1 0 20 40 60 80 100 -0.2 -0.3 -0.4 -0.5 -0.6 RelativeHumidityPoint(%rh) Figure 2 Stability of the artefact S/N:A72177+A72146 It seems the long-term stability of the first artefact is well within about 0.7 %rh while the second artefact is well within 0.5 %rh cover the comparison range. 5. Estimation of reproducibility Since the long-term stability of the two artefacts consists of the drift of the artefact and also a reproducibility of the measurements by the reference laboratory, an estimation of the reproducibility of the measurement by NIMT is required to ensure the comparison results. The artefact S/N: A72176+A7A935 was calibrated three times and S/N: A72177+A72146 was calibrated four times by the reference laboratory against the NIMT primary humidity generator. In analysis of data results, the reference laboratory needs to evaluate its reproducibility of the measurement for uncertainty estimation. The uncertainty of reproducibility would be given by uref, reprod stdev drift / n i (1). The drifts at each time of measurements for different artefacts are show in Table 1. In this comparison, the calibration data for seven times was used to estimate the reproducibility of the reference laboratory.

Estimation of interpolation error Since the measuring points obtained from each participating laboratory were slightly deviated from the defined measuring point, an interpolation was applied in order to compare all measurement results at the same nominal values. In this case, the 1st-order polynomial equation was used to interpolate from the measurement data of each laboratory and then the results at the nominal measuring points were determined using fitting coefficients, and are given by, y = mX + c (2) The errors of interpolation were also considered as a component of this comparison uncertainty. Tables of the interpolation errors at any points for each loop are shown below: Table 2.

Difference of Xi= Xlab-Xavg, ref for each participant together with its assigned uncertainty. The measurement uncertainties for each laboratory (k=2) are reported by each participant in Appendix C 8. Calculation of a Comparison Reference Value The comparison reference value (CRV) has been calculated by weight mean averaging because of significantly large difference in uncertainties for all laboratories. The weighted CRV and its associated uncertainty are calculated by: where Xweighted = Σ Xi•u-2 (Xi) ⁄ Σ u-2 (Xi) (3), u2(Xweighted) = 1/Σ u-2(Xi) (4), u(Xi) uncertainty of each laboratory u2(Di) = u2 (Xlab,i) + (drifti 2/ 2√3) + (u2ref.reprod) + (u2inter) (5), In this case, Birge ratio must be calculated because the all uncertainties are related with measured variance of the comparison data and the estimated measurement uncertainties explained in the measured dispersion of the actual data values, and are given by, 2 -2 Birge Ratio = √ [ Σ (Xi ─ Xweighted ) u (Xi ) ⁄ (n-1) ] Last Updated : 15/4/20 (6), Intercomparison No. HL-01 Page 10 of 22 If the deviation of the data points Xi from the weighted mean is within the uncertainty (Xi) of the data, then the Birge ratio will be less than 1, and if the deviation of the data is larger than expected from the error bars, the Birge ratio will be greater than 1. A statistical criterion for a Birge ratio for n data points is given by: Birge Criterion < √ [1 + √8 ⁄(n-1)] (7), Therefore, in this comparison, the average criterion is 1.1 for 15 laboratories. After all comparison datas are completely calculated, the obtained Birge ratio should be lower than or equal to the calculated Birge criterion (≤1.1). However, it was found that the first estimated Birge ratios including all participant results were higher than 1.1 excepting for the results at 20 %, as shown in the second row in Table 4. From the results in last section, the results from the failed laboratories were excluded to calculate the second Birge ratio as shown in the third row in Table 4. From the new estimation, the Birge ratios for all nominal point are well within the Birge criterion. Table 4 The comparison of Birge ratio with failed results to without failed results.

Elaboration of comparison results The obtained comparison reference values are compared to the laboratory values in terms of the degree of equivalence Di of the participant: Di = Xi - Xweighted (8). The uncertainty in the difference from the comparison reference value uDi is estimated by including the following contributions: a) u(Xlab,i ) the uncertainty of the participant: Given by participant (Appendix C) b) u(Xweighted) the uncertainty of the reference value with respect to the reference laboratory: calculated using equation 3.

Given for each loop in chapter 6, The calculated values of degree of equivalence Di and the expanded uncertainty UDi = 2 uDi for each participants are given in Appendix D. These values represent the laboratories for which the deviation from the reference value is larger than its expanded (k=2) uncertainty (i.e. |Di| / UDi = En >1). The degree of equivalences Di for each participant is reported in Appendix D 10. Conclusions The national interlaboratory comparison of electrical hygrometer was performed in two loops among 14 calibration laboratories in Thailand, with NIMT as reference laboratory and pilot laboratory. Most of the participating laboratories carried out the comparisons at 7 nominal points of relative humidity (20 %, 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 %, 70 %, and 80 %). The calibration results of each participant were compared to the reference values of the reference laboratory to evaluate the measurement capability of the participants. Only three participants yield their results deviating from the reference values. In addition, the comparison reference values were calculated by weighting the calibration results (excepting those from the fail three participants) with the measurement uncertainty. Finally the obtained comparison reference values are compared to the laboratory values at each nominal measuring point to evaluate the degree of equivalences for each participant.
