Improvements in the Nist Calibration Service for Thermal Transfer Standards
We report on multiple improvements made in the calibration services offered for thermal converters and thermal transfer standards in the ac-dc Difference Standards and Measurement Techniques Project at NIST during the past year. The major improvement in this calibration is the increased efficiency made possible by the consolidation of three disparate calibration services – low voltage thermal t...
متن کاملThe NIST EOS Thermal-Infrared Transfer Radiometer
A portable Thermal-Infrared Transfer Radiometer (TXR) has been developed for use in intercomparisons and scale verifications of sources used to calibrate thermal-infrared (TIR) channels of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Earth Observing System (EOS) flight instruments. The TXR is designed to measure the radiance temperature of large area blackbody sources in cryogen...
متن کاملA Technique for Force Calibration MEMS Traceable to NIST Standards
Characterizing the mechanical properties of materials and biological systems at the nanoscale requires accurate measurement of forces on the order of 10’s of μN and less. Many times custom fabricated MEMS actuators and load cells are employed to apply these forces. Force response of these devices may be very different from their anticipated response due to fabrication induced effects. This make...
متن کاملThe Calibration of dc Voltage Standards at NIST
This document describes the procedures used at NIST to calibrate dc voltage standards in terms of the NIST volt. Three calibration services are offered by the Electricity Division: Regular Calibration Service (RCS) of client standard cells at NIST; the Volt Transfer Program (VTP) a process to determine the difference between the NIST volt and the volt as maintained by a group of standard cells ...
متن کاملImproved Photometric Standards and Calibration Procedures at NIST
NIST has recently established a detector-based luminous intensity unit (candela, cd), which is derived from the NIST absolute cryogenic radiometer. Subsequently, the luminous flux unit (lumen, lm) and the luminance unit (cd/m2) have been established based on the detector-based candela, and now all the NIST photometric units are tied to the cryogenic radiometer. The illuminance unit is realized ...
