Uncertainty in NIST Force Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper focuses upon the uncertainty of force calibration measurements at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The uncertainty of the realization of force for the national deadweight force standards at NIST is discussed, as well as the uncertainties associated with NIST's voltage-ratio measuring instruments and with the characteristics of transducers being calibrated. The combined uncertainty is related to the uncertainty of dissemination for force transfer standards sent to NIST for calibration.

متن کاملA Method for Establishing e-Traceability to NIST High-Dose Measurement Standards
A method for establishing electronic traceability, or e-traceability, of customer measurements to NIST high-dose measurement standards through the use of a measurement conversion factor (MCF) for Bruker e-scan instruments has been developed. The intent is that this factor will be incorporated into an Internet-based transfer dosimetry system, while still maintaining a reasonable and acceptable u...

The certification of ITS-90 fixed-point cells from the Ar triple point (83.8058 K) to the Ag freezing point (1234.93 K) is an integral part of the calibration services offered by the NIST Thermometry Group. This service is used to qualify new fixed-point cells for internal use within the NIST Thermometry Group and by those facilities seeking traceability to NIST for the ITS-90 calibration of SP...
متن کاملA Summary of Lightpipe Radiation Thermometry Research at NIST
During the last 10 years, research in light-pipe radiation thermometry has significantly reduced the uncertainties for temperature measurements in semiconductor processing. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has improved the calibration of lightpipe radiation thermometers (LPRTs), the characterization procedures for LPRTs, the in situ calibration of LPRTs using thin-film ...
متن کاملThe optical calcium frequency standards of PTB and NIST ⋆ Les étalons de fréquence optique au calcium de la PTB et du NIST
We describe the current status of the Ca optical frequency standards with laser-cooled neutral atoms realized in two different laboratories for the purpose of developing a possible future optical atomic clock. Frequency measurements performed at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) make the frequency of the clock transitio...
