Introduction
• Kg is the only SI unit that is still an artefact
• Our mandate is to maintain and disseminate the value
of the kilogram
![Page 4: © NMISA 2010 Dissemination of Mass Standards from the National Prototype by Thomas Mautjana](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef65503460f94c09697/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

How do we disseminate the value of kg?
• Weighing design is used to calibrate a set of weights
using one reference standard
• Subdivision and multiplication method
• Calibrate in decades :D1 500, 200, 200*,100
D2 50, 20, 20*,10
D3 5, 2, 2*, 1
etc D 6

Method description
• To determine the values of all the unknown
weights the normal equations would have to be
orthogonal (i.e. without variances)
• To ensure orthogonality some of the equations
may be omitted and some used more than
once
• Reference standard should be the defining (Head)
weight

Orthogonal design: 5221
(10) = (5) + (2) + (2)* + (1) - d1
(10) = (5) + (2) + (2)* + (1)* - d2
(5) = (2) + (2)* + (1) + d3
(5) = (2) + (2)* + (1)* + d4
(2)+(1) = (2)* + (1)* + d5
(2)+(1) = (2)* + (1)* + d5
(2)+(1)* = (2)* + (1) + d6
(2)+(1)* = (2)* + (1) + d6
(2) = (1) + (1)* + d7
(2) = (1) + (1)* + d7
(2)* = (1) + (1)* + d8
(2)* = (1) + (1)* + d8

What about weights > 1kg
• Define: (10) = M =10 u
u = (1)
thus (10) = 10(1)

Method: Advantages and Disadvantages
• Advantages:
Less use of reference weights
Use check weights
Produces no variances or co-variances
Lead to higher accuracies
• Disadvantage:
Placing several weights on a pan

Conclusion
• Orthogonal system produces no variances or co-
variances
• The most accurate method with self check
• Customer standards are compared against the
working standards and never and never will be
compared against the national standard.
