National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Materials Standard Reference Material 1749 : Au / Pt Thermocouple Thermometer
نویسنده
چکیده
Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1749 is a lot of 18 specially-constructed gold versus platinum (Au/Pt) thermocouple thermometers, each calibrated on the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) and supplied with integral lead wires and a protective sheath. It is the most accurate thermocouple available over the range 0 °C to 1000 °C, with an expanded uncertainty (k=2) less than 8.3 m°C from 0 °C to 962 °C, and rising to 14 m°C at 1000 °C. We describe the fabrication and calibration methods used to prepare the SRM 1749 thermocouples. These thermocouples are exceptionally thermoelectrically homogeneous and stable over hundreds of hours of use, making them an excellent choice as a secondary reference thermometer. To facilitate low measurement uncertainties in applications, practical methods for emf measurements and comparison calibrations of other thermometers with the SRM 1749 thermocouple are also given.

متن کاملA Cotinine in Freeze-Dried Urine Reference Material
A cotinine in freeze-dried urine reference material (RM 8444) was prepared at three concentrations: (1) a "blank" level typical of nonsmokers with no exposure to cigarette smoke, (2) a "low" level corresponding to nonsmokers with passive exposure to side-stream smoke, and (3) a "high" level typical of smokers. Low- and high-level materials were prepared gravimetrically from pooled urine by the ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a standard reference material for vitamin D in serum.
The most widely used indicator of vitamin D status is the measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in either serum or plasma. Several studies have reported discrepancies between the results of assays used to measure 25(OH)D, however, which calls into question the ability of 25(OH)D assays to reflect accurately the vitamin D status of individuals. The National Institute of Standards and Tech...
