The performance of one 35 kPa pressure balance is presented showing that an accuracy of better than 10 ppm can be achieved. Repeat measurements of the piston-cylinder dimensions ten years apart gave the same calculated effective areas to within 3 ppm. These calculated areas vary by up to 2 ppm with gas pressure and gas type. Comparison with two interferometric manometers, using other nitrogen gas-operated pressure balances as transfer standards, resulted in effective areas -7 ppm and 2,6 ppm different from the area calculated from the piston-cylinder dimensions.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
