Abstract
Recently, a scientific comparison of flatness measuring
instruments at European National Metrology Institutes
(NMIs) was performed in the framework of EURAMET. The
specimen was a well-polished optical surface with a
maximum measurement aperture of 150 mm in diameter. Here,
we present an evaluation concept, which allows the
determination of a mean flatness map taking into account
different lateral resolutions of the instruments and
different orientations of the specimen during
measurement. We found that all measurements are in
agreement with the mean flatness map within the
uncertainty intervals stated by the participants. The aim
of this scientific comparison is to specify an
appropriate operation and evaluation procedure for future
comparisons.
