The NIST Industrial Thermometer Calibration Laboratory (ITCL) is responsible for calibrating several different types of industrial thermometers. One of those types is a liquid-in-glass (LiG) thermometer, which includes both mercury (partial and total
Grain is an essential source of the world's human and animal food supply. The production value of major grains in the United States is approximately $3.3 billion (U.S.D.) of the $10.1 trillion of the U.S. gross domestic products. Inaccurate grain
This work falls within the scope of a general problem of the assessment of concretes manufactured from waste materials. The main objective is to study the long-term evolution of these materials during leaching using the cellular automata- based hydration
Accuracy of the wavenumber scale of spectroscopic instrumentation is fundamentally important for most applications. Most modern Fourier transform spectrophotometers (FTS) incorporate HeNe lasers that are used to set the wavenumber scale for the instrument

Tests of a novel concept for tracking construction components were carried out at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The approach makes use of laser radar and retro-reflective barcodes attached to manufactured building materials. Tests

Calibration measurements of thin heat flux sensors for building applications are presented. The findings support the continued development of precision and bias statements for ASTM Practice C 1130. Measurements have been conducted using a 1016 mm diameter
The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 1451 smart transducer interface standards provide the common interface and enabling technology forr the connectivity of transducers to microprocessors, control and field networks, and data
Heat flux measurement is not simple; care is required in selecting a suitable sensor for a given application. Surface substrate properties and the convective and radiative environment determine the choice of sensors. Mounting of the sensor, especially in
A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a computer controlled device that uses a probe to obtain measurements on a manufactured part''s surface, usually one point at a time. Probe movements may be programmed or determined manually by operation of a
In most frame-based reasoning systems, the information being manipulated is represented using frames, but the problem-solving knowledge that manipulates the frames is represented as production rules. One problem with this approach is that rules are not
The object of this study was to detennine if the use of a cycling controller would improve the efficiency of a residential air conditioner or heat pump. Cyclic tests were perfonned on a capillary tube heat pump in three configurations: as manufactured, as
The cyclone settled density test for cellulosic loose fill insulation was evaluated in an interlaboratory test program. Seven laboratories tested seven cellulosic loose fill insulations manufactured for the home insulation market. The participating
