The development of exciters for the precise calibration of accelerometers requires minimizing distortion and cross motion in the exciter (shaker). It is well known that both distortion and cross motion can introduce significant errors in the calibration of

The International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) is defined in the region 3.0 K to 24.5561 K by an interpolating constant volume gas thermometer (ICVGT) that is calibrated at three specified fixed points. From 13.8033 K to 1234.93 K the ITS-90 is
This report summarizes research projects measurement method developments, calibration and testing services, and data evaluation activities that were carried out during calendar year 1998 in the NIST Physics Laboratory. These activities are in the areas of
We present an emf-temperature reference function for platinum versus palladium (Pt/Pd) thermocouples in air for the range 0 degrees {Celsius} to 1500 degrees {Celsius}. The reference function is based on the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90)
This document provides a description of the small and medium range gas flow calibration facilities at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Fluid Flow Group, as reported in NIST Special Publication 250 for Test Nos. 18010C-18040C and
