摘要
The effects of alignment uncertainties of the NIST watt balance with respect to local gravity and the magnetic flux density of the balance have been analyzed. Techniques for measuring all quantities relevant to misalignment have been developed. The components of the relative combined standard uncertainty of the measured value of the watt due to alignment uncertainties have been reduced to 20 nW/W, and potential improvements in the balance design have been identified which could ultimately lead to a reduction of that uncertainty to below 10 nW/W.
