Experimental Noise Sources in the NIST Watt Balance

Published

Author(s)

Richard L. Steiner, David B. Newell, Edwin R. Williams

Abstract

The present NIST Watt Balance has a relative combined standard uncertainty of about 145 nW/W. The final results of this phase of the experiment are presented. Improvements in the Type B (nonstatistical) uncertainty contributions, along with several correction factors and noise sources, are also discussed.
