NIST Handbook 44 includes specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements for weighing and measuring devices. These requirements are intended to encourage the design, installation, testing, and use of weighing and measuring devices that

Survey of agricultural plastic waste in the American Midwest: usage and disposal

January 1, 2026
Author(s)
Julie Rieland, Christina Gore, Kalman Migler, Kathryn Beers
An estimated 4 % of global plastics are used for agricultural applications in forms such as films, jugs, fence posts, and hoses. However, there is limited data on actual use, and more importantly on its fate at end of life. We first present a comprehensive

Chemical Kinetics and Fire

December 31, 2025
Author(s)
Gregory Linteris, John Griffiths
The purpose of this chapter is to set out the principles of chemical kinetics as they apply to combustion in flames and fires. Chemical equilibrium, which was discussed in a previous chapter, deals with the final preferred state of a given set of reactants

NIST Handbook 133: Checking the Net Contents of Packaged Goods (2026 Ed.)

December 29, 2025
Author(s)
John McGuire, David Sefcik, Loren Minnich, Elizabeth Benham, Isabel Baucom, Katrice Lippa
This handbook has been prepared as a procedural guide for the compliance testing of net content statements on packaged goods. Compliance testing of packaged goods is the determination of the conformance results of packaging, distribution, and sale of

Photonic integrated circuit optical parametric oscillators
