Holographic Radius Test Plates

September 7, 2013
Author(s)
Quandou (. Wang, Johannes A. Soons, Ulf Griesmann
We evaluate a method for testing the radius of spheres with a hologram that consists of a pair of nested Fresnel zone lenses. The hologram is positioned in the collimated test beam of a Fizeau interferometer. The inner zone lens generates a focus at the

The Effect of Tip Size in Calibration of Surface Roughness Specimens with Rectangular Profiles

September 2, 2013
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Thomas B. Renegar, Johannes A. Soons, Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, John S. Villarrubia, Xiaoyu A. Zheng, Theodore V. Vorburger
For the calibration of rectangular and trapezoidal profile roughness specimens, stylus tip will increase profile peak width and decrease valley width, which may cause the Ra changes (either increase or decrease, depends on the profile shape). Sometimes the

Characterization of Airborne Nanoparticle Released from Consumer Products

August 29, 2013
Author(s)
Li Piin Sung, Joannie W. Chin, Andrew K. Persily
This interim report summarizes research results to date under the FY2012 interagency agreement between CPSC and NIST to develop testing and measurement protocols for determining the quantities and properties of nanoparticles released from flooring finishes

Wide Ranging Viscosity Measurements of Rocket Propellant RP-2

August 28, 2013
Author(s)
Arno D. Laesecke, Dylan S. Cousins
Expanding on earlier viscosity measurements of rocket propellants from 293 K to 373 K at atmospheric pressure, the viscosity of rocket propellant RP-2 was measured from 270 K to 450 K with pressures to 137 MPa. The instrument was an oscillating piston

Direct Comparison of two NIST PJVS systems at 10 V

August 27, 2013
Author(s)
Stephane Solve, Alain Rufenacht, Charles J. Burroughs, Samuel Benz
Two NIST Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard (PJVS) systems have been directly compared at 10V using different nanovoltmeters at the temperature of the laboratory. These PJVS systems use arrays double-stacked superconducting-niobium Josephson junctions

August 19, 2013
Author(s)
Georgia L. Harris
This publication contains Good Measurement Procedures (GMP), Good Laboratory Procedures (GLP), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for use in calibration laboratories performing volumetric calibrations. This edition is updated from the 2012 version
