Report on Acceleration Comparison SIM.AUV.V-K1 - Draft B

March 20, 2009
Author(s)
David J. Evans, Adriana Hornikova, Stefan D. Leigh, Andrew L. Rukhin, William E. Strawderman
The first regional key comparison in vibration conducted under the auspices of the Inter-American System of Metrology (SIM) was begun in 1996. The comparison was registered with the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) through the

Advice from the CCL on the use of unstabilized lasers as standards of wavelength: the helium-neon laser at 633 nm

January 1, 2009
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr., Jennifer Decker, Patrick Gill, Andrew Lewis, Patrick Juncar, Daniele Rovera, Miguel Villiseid
The Consultative Committee for Length has recommended that red (633 nm) unstabilized Helium-Neon lasers, operating on the 3s2¿_2p4 transition, should be included in the list of standard frequencies for realization of the meter. This article discusses

Droplet Formation at Microfluidic T-junctions

December 31, 2008
Author(s)
David A. LaVan, Xiang Xu
Analysis of droplet formation in microfluidic systems is important to understand the operation of these devices, and to permit optimal design and process control. Droplet formation in microfluidic T-junction devices was studied using experimental and

Design and testing of a software feedback loop for RF power leveling

December 12, 2008
Author(s)
Xiaohai Cui, Thomas P. Crowley
We have developed a software feedback loop that stabilizes the RF power input in calorimetric measurements to better than 30 ppm. In this system, a bolometric sensor with a Type IV power meter is used to detect the power. Feedback is provided to the AM

Multichannel Decomposition and Isomerization of Octyl Radicals

October 9, 2008
Author(s)
Wing Tsang, William S. McGivern, Jeffrey A. Manion
The thermal cracking patterns from the decomposition and isomerization of octyl-1 radicals have been determined from the pyrolysis of n-octyl iodide in single pulse shock tube experiments at temperatures in the 850-1000 K range and pressures near 2 bar

NIST Microform Calibration System for Rockwell Hardness Standardization

August 25, 2008
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Samuel R. Low III, Xiaoyu A. Zheng
In the uncertainty budget of Rockwell hardness tests, microform geometric errors of the diamond indenter are a major contributor. The microform calibration of Rockwell diamond indenters has been one of the key steps for Rockwell hardness standardization

Measuring the Phase Transfer Function of a Phase-Shifting Interferometer

August 13, 2008
Author(s)
JiYoung Chu, Quandou (. Wang, John P. Lehan, Ulf Griesmann, Guangjun Gao
In characterizing the performance of a phase-shifting interferometer, the dependence of the measured height on the spatial frequency is rarely considered. We describe a test mirror with a special height relief that can be used to measure the height

Natural Gas Flow Calibration Service

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson
This document describes NIST's high pressure natural gas flow calibration service (NGFCS). Flow calibrations are conducted offsite at the Colorado Experimental Engineering Station Incorporated (CEESI) in Garner, Iowa. A parallel array of nine turbine meter
