Dear Reader, 

this year ACTA IMEKO will publish its 6th volume. This is 
a small but a rather important achievement for all the people 
involved in this venue. Let me take this occasion to thank all of 
them. 

The first 6 papers in issue 6.1 originate from the 2015 World 
congress. The first paper is the paper by Michael Kobusch and 
Sascha Eichstädt who work at PTB. Their contribution is aimed 
at illustrating a problem in system identification in the area of 
mechanical measurements, so to achieve a model-based 
calibration of a strain gauge force transducer. 

The following paper by Yukio Hiranaka, Shinichi Miura and 
Toshihiro Taketa takes into account the goal of determining the 
system input of a heater from measured data of room 
temperature. This leads to a backward simulator that tries to 
minimise processing time by taking into account the particular 
nature of the problem and also the usage of a forward model. 

The paper by Sergey V. Muravyov, Irina A. Marinushkina, 
and Diana D. Garif covers the topic of inter laboratory 
comparison. It proposes a software to process experimental or 
simulated data by means of an aggregate preference method 
that, according to the authors, outperforms some other known 
rules that allow establishment of the reference value of a 
measurand. 

The next paper by Michal Junek, Jiří Janovec and Petr 
Ducháček describes the method to measure the hardness of 
creep-resistant steel using ultrasound techniques to prove that 
the independence of the results obtained by such method from 
the Young’s modulus of the specimen is not entirely correct. 

 
 
 
 
The paper by Giovanni Betta et al. describes the issues 

associated with the metrological characterisation of 3D 
biometric face recognition systems. The problem of the 
performance evaluation of these systems is not yet fully 
addressed and this contribution shows how to compare 
experimental results obtained using various architectures under 
actual operating conditions. 

The paper by Dragana Popovic Renella et al. contains an 
overview of commercially available teslameters used for 
measuring DC and AC magnetic flux densities. A thorough 
discussion is presented including the performance of such 
measurement instruments and more details are provided on 
gaussmeters based on 3-axis integrated Hall probes. 

The next two papers in this issue were freely submitted by 
the authors. The paper by Catarina André et al. is in the area of 
measurements for the food industry. It discusses the design of 
statistical experiments to quantify the amount of free-
monomeric isocyanates in aggregated cork stoppers. 
Experimental results are presented to validate their procedure. 

The last paper in this issue by Dirk Röske et al. is the result 
of a collaboration among several National Metrological 
Institutes and describes the realization of a software tool for the 
calculation of uncertainty in force measurements. This research 
was developed through a research project in the European 
Metrology Research Programme. 

Have a fruitful reading of the first issue of ACTA IMEKO 
in 2017!
