Abstract :
The feasibility of measuring the pressure and humidity dependences of the 10-V output of electronic voltage standards, by analysis of data from routine within-group comparisons of an ensemble standard and accompanying records of environmental conditions, has been investigated. The method was found to be useful for identifying individual standards with significant sensitivities to either pressure or humidity.
