What Does an AC Voltmeter Measure?

A Precision Ac-dc Differential Voltmeter/dc Standard with High Versatility

Non - contact surface charge / voltage measurements

Methods of measurements of surface electric charges and potentials using electrostatic fieldmeters and voltmeters are discussed. The differences and similarities between those methods are presented. The AC-feedback voltmeter is also described as an unique method that combines advantages of both fieldmeters and voltmeters.

Investigation of Two Different Techniques for Accurate Measurements of Sinusoidal Signals

In this paper, two different techniques for the determination of the rms value of sinusoidal AC voltage at the range of 2V are practically compared: non-thermoelectric technique (via the direct measurement using a precise high sensitive digital voltmeter, and the comparison method using a precise AC voltage calibrator) and thermoelectric technique (via the null thermoelectric technique, and the...

The Nist Industrial Thermometer Calibration Laboratory

The NIST Industrial Thermometer Calibration (ITC) Laboratory provides calibrations of industrial thermometers over the range from –196 °C to 550 °C. The different types of thermometers include liquid-in-glass (LiG), thermistors, thermocouples (<200 °C), and industrial platinum resistance thermometers (IPRTs). Calibrations are performed by both comparison with a standard platinum resistance ther...

Analgesic nephropathy.

Many questions about analgesic nephropathy (AN) lack clear-cut answers. We present available evidence for and against proposed answers to many of these questions. These include: (1) Is acetaminophen (AC) nephrotoxic when taken as the sole analgesic? (2) Is the combination of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and AC more nephrotoxic than AC taken alone, and if so, why? (3) What are the minimum doses an...
