The particle size distribution (PSD) and particlemorphology ofmetal powders undoubtedly affects the quality of parts produced by additivemanufacturing (AM). It is, therefore, crucial to accurately knowthe PSD and morphology of these powders. There exist
New experimental data for the thermal conductivity of 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-3-methoxypropane (RE-347mcc, HFE-7000) are reported for vapor, liquid, and supercritical states. These new experimental data were obtained with transient hot-wire apparatus
This article discusses the background and motivation of work conducted at NIST to advance first-generation performance-based design procedures in ASCE 41.
The certification of a polyethylene standard reference material, SRM 2887, is described. The Mw of SRM 2887 by light scattering was determined to be 196.4x10+3 g/mol with a sample standard deviation of 6.7 x10+3 g/mol. A combined expanded uncertainty for
