5446: Basic Uncertainty Concepts

Thu, Feb 23 2017
This 2 hour webinar provides a very basic introduction to uncertainty calculations and reporting using the 8-step
background molecule

Cold Core Technology Platform

We are building a cold-atom based sensor program that represents a new approach to metrology—to establish a set of chip-scale tools that enable real-world use

Leak Artifacts

Leak artifacts are calibrated in the range 1 x 10 -6 to 1 x 10 -13 mol/s (2 x 10 -2 to 2 x 10 -9 std. cm 3/s at 0 °C). The calibration can be performed directly

Vacuum Gauges

Most calibrations of vacuum gauges are based on a known gas flow rate that is generated by one of two flow meters that operate at constant pressure. The "piston

Low Pressure Gauges

NIST has developed best-in-the-world primary standard pressure measurement capabilities for pressures spanning the range of 0.01 Pa to 360 kPa through the
PG

Piston gauges and pressure transducers

Piston gauges are used to calibrate customer piston gauges and pressure sensing devices. Piston gauges are calibrated via a direct comparison to another piston

Residential Test Facility (RTF)

The Residential Test Facility (RTF) is a unique laboratory at the National Institute of Standards (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD that serves as a testbed for enabling the design and operation of cost-effective residential building systems that deliver healthy and comfortable indoor environments.
