Humidity

Ongoing
Our goals include: Providing SI traceability of humidity standards through use of standardized realization methods, and supporting humidity measurements in the U.S. and abroad through calibrations and proficiency testing Ensuring the equivalence of US humidity standards with those of other countries

Humidity Calibration Services at NIST

Ongoing
Humidity calibration services at NIST are performed with its primary standard humidity generator, the Hybrid Humidity Generator (HHG). The HHG produces humidified air of known moisture content over the dew/frost-point range from -90 °C frost point to +85 °C dew point, which corresponds to a water

Material Qualification

Ongoing
Objective To develop, utilize, and analyze methods of characterizing the precursor materials in additive manufacturing in both virgin and recycled states with the goal of advancing measurement science to benefit the AM community. The components of principal interest will include the rheological
