The last journey of FLUKE 8846A as traveling metrology standard for CAL Labs

[Kiriakos GR]

The ownership of FLUKE 8846A precision DMM, this offered to me a wide range of benefits.
Most important benefit, I have a high precision multimeter so to work with.

Other benefits, it can act as a bridge or a motive, so and you to discover the world of electrical metrology.
Additionally you may get motivated at performing special micro measurements, that usual handheld DMM they are incapable for.
And finally, you might get a better understanding regarding of electrical quantities measurement and tolerances.

If you get motivated to perform all above steps, you might also discover and another one door, this is the importance of this multimeter for the ones working professionally at international calibration labs.

I never though that I will come across of a document, this describing FLUKE 8846A as traveling metrology standard.
At 2020 a number of eight calibration labs,  they engaged in to a such session.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the 13th an intra-Africa metrology system (AFRIMETS) technical committee on electricity and magnetism (TCEM) meeting held on 8th to 9th of July 2019 at Giza, Egypt, a supplementary comparison was approved on digital multimeter.

The primary aim of the comparison is to support the calibration measurement capabilities of the national metrology
institutes in measuring DC voltage, DC current, DC resistance, AC voltage and AC current parameters.
The National Institute of Standards, Egypt (NIS) piloted the comparison and National Metrology Institute of South Africa (NMISA) provided the comparison reference values and eight AFRIMETS national metrology designated institutes participated.

The comparison commenced in January 2020 and completed in August 2021. This report describes the
behaviour of the comparison standard, participants reported corrections and calculated comparison reference values with associated uncertainties of measurements at 95% confidence level, normalized errors and degrees of equivalence.
