This issue of Acta IMEKO comprises the third set of 

articles that are based on papers presented at the XX IMEKO 
World Congress, Busan, Republic of Korea, 9–12 September, 
2012. The issue includes the extended and updated versions of 
papers from TC3 (Measurement of Force, Mass and Torque) 
and TC16 (Pressure and Vacuum Measurement). The remaining 
submissions from this World Congress to be published by Acta 
IMEKO will appear in the forthcoming issue. 

This edition starts with eight research papers on force, mass 
and torque measurements (TC3). The first one deals with the 
proposed new SI and the consequences for mass metrology. 
The next two papers discuss models for a checkweigher and a 
dynamic torque calibrator, respectively, and they are followed 
by a paper on an improved force standard machine. Calibration 
systems for torque are presented in the next two contributions 
and, in a subsequent paper, the effect of humidity on torque 

transducers is discussed. The last contribution from TC3 is 
about a multi-component facility for torque and force. 

Four articles from TC16 follow on equipment for pressure 
and vacuum measurements: a pressure balance piston, 
capacitive diaphragm gauges, pressure measuring multipliers 
and finally a discussion on rarefied gas flow in pressure and 
vacuum measurements. 

The issue closes with an advertisment from HBM, a 
contributor to the Confederation. Advertising is open for other 
supporting members.   

We would like to thank all those who have contributed to 
this issue: authors, reviewers, copyeditors, layout editors and 
journal managers. Special thanks go to the Section Editors 
Yon-Kyu Park (TC3) and Jorge Torres-Guzman (TC16).  

We hope you enjoy this issue.
