A 3D-printed alkali metal dispenser

May 1, 2018
Author(s)
Eric B. Norrgard, Daniel S. Barker, James A. Fedchak, Nikolai N. Klimov, Julia K. Scherschligt, Stephen P. Eckel
We demonstrate and characterize a source of Li atoms made from direct metal laser sintered Ti. The source's outgassing rate is measured to be $5 \,(2)\cdot 10^{-7}$\,$\rm{Pa}~ \rm{L}~ \rm{s}^{-1}$ at the temperature which optimizes the number of atoms

3D printed ABS-MOF composite materials and their gas storage properties

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Michael Bible, Makfir Sefa, Julia Scherschligt, Zeeshan Ahmed, James A. Fedchak, Hartings Mathew
Metal organic framework materials (MOFs) have been primarily recognized for their ability to promote selective storage of gas molecules. In their as-synthesized (powdered) form, MOFs are not easily processed for use in end-devices where their properties

Vacuum Furnace for Degassing Stainless-Steel Vacuum Components

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
James A. Fedchak, Julia K. Scherschligt, Daniel S. Barker, Stephen P. Eckel, Alex P. Farrell, Makfir Sefa
Ultra-high vacuum systems must often be constructed of materials with ultra-low outgassing rates to achieve pressure of 10-6 Pa and below. In such a case, any component placed into the ultra-high vacuum system must also be constructed of materials with

Development of a new UHV/XHV pressure standard (Cold Atom Vacuum Standard)

November 10, 2017
Author(s)
Julia Scherschligt, James A. Fedchak, Daniel Barker, Stephen Eckel, Nikolai Klimov, Constantinos Makrides, Eite Tiesinga
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has recently begun a program to develop a primary pressure standard that is based on ultra-cold atoms, covering a pressure range of 1 × 10-6 Pa to 1 × 10-10 Pa and possibly lower. These pressures

Perspectives for a new realization of the pascal by optical methods

October 24, 2017
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Karl Jousten, Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Tom Rubin, Christof Gaiser, Rene Schodel, James A. Fedchak, Jacob E. Ricker, Jens Fluegge, Stephen P. Eckel, Julia K. Scherschligt, Daniel S. Barker, Kevin O. Douglass, Gregory F. Strouse, Uwe Sterr, Waldimir Sabuga
Since the beginning of measurement of pressure in the 17th century, the unit of pressure has been defined by the relationship of force per unit area. The present state of optical technology now offers the possibility of using a thermodynamic definition

An integrated and automated calibration system for pneumatic piston gauges

October 17, 2017
Author(s)
Yuanchao Yang, Robert G. Driver, John S. Quintavalle, Julia Scherschligt, Katie M. Schlatter, Jacob Edmond Ricker, Gregory F. Strouse, Douglas A. Olson, Jay H. Hendricks
Recently, a transducer-aided crossfloat (TAC) method for pneumatic piston gauges was proposed. The concept is to use a pressure transducer as a very short-term transfer standard between the standard piston gauge and the test one. Different from the

Toward 3D printed hydrogen storage materials made with ABS-MOF composites

September 26, 2017
Author(s)
Megan C. Kreider, Zeeshan Ahmed, Makfir Sefa, James A. Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt, Michael Bible, Nikolai Klimov, Bharath Natarajan, Hartings Mathew
The push to advance efficient, renewable, and clean energy sources has brought with it an effort to generate materials that are capable of storing hydrogen. Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have been the focus of many such studies as they are

Automation of Piston Gauge Calibration Services Phase I Results

December 29, 2016
Author(s)
Katie M. Schlatter, Julia Scherschligt, John S. Quintavalle, Robert G. Driver, Christina D. Cross
This report documents efforts to date to automate Piston Gage Calibration Services. This report includes an overview of the project, results for Phase I Implementation efforts, and a look ahead to Phase II. Phase I Measures and Deliverables are based on

Gas Uptake of 3-D Printed Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Using a Vacuum Apparatus Designed for Absorption and Desorption Studies

October 25, 2016
Author(s)
Makfir Sefa, Zeeshan Ahmed, James A. Fedchak, Nikolai Klimov, Julia Scherschligt
We describe a vacuum apparatus for determining the outgassing rate into vacuum, the diffusion coefficient, and the amount of gas absorbed for various materials. The diffusion coefficient is determined from a model applied to time-dependent desorption data

How to Build a Vacuum Spring-Transport Package for Spinning Rotor Gauges

April 7, 2016
Author(s)
James A. Fedchak, Julia K. Scherschligt, Makfir Sefa
The spinning rotor gauge (SRG) is a high-vacuum gauge often used to as a secondary or transfer standard for vacuum pressures in the range of 1.0 × 10-4 Pa to 1.0 Pa. In this application, the gauges are frequently transported to laboratories for calibration

A New Experiment for Determining Evaporation and Condensation Coefficients of Cryogenic Propellants

March 1, 2016
Author(s)
Kishan Bellur, E F. Medici, M Kulshreshtha, V Konduru, D Tyrewala, A Tamilarasan, J McQuillen, Juscelino Leao, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Julia Scherschligt, J Hermanson, C Choi, J Allen
Passive and active technologies have been used to control propellant boil-o , but the current state of understanding of cryogenic evaporation and condensation in microgravity is insucient for designing large cryogenic depots critical to the long-term space

Building a Spring-Transport Mechanism for Spinning Rotor Gauges

April 3, 2015
Author(s)
James A. Fedchak, Julia K. Scherschligt, Makfir Sefa, Nick Phandinh
Spinning rotor gauges (SRGs) are widely used as transfer standards in inter-laboratory comparisons and as secondary standards by calibration laboratories. In both of these applications, it is necessary to ship the SRG for calibration, often internationally
