STANDARDS SUPPORTING SIMULATIONS OF SMART MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

December 12, 2016
Author(s)
Conrad Bock, Guodong Shao, Kevin W. Lyons, Ronay Ak, KC Morris, Bjoern J. Johansson
Manufacturing standards provide the means for industries to effectively and consistently deploy methodologies and technologies to assess process performance. These assessments set the stage for controlling the manufacturing systems and processes and

Draft B Report on the Key Comparison CCM.P-K4.2012 in Absolute Pressure from 1 Pa to 10 kPa

December 7, 2016
Author(s)
Jacob E. Ricker, Jay H. Hendricks, Thomas Bock, Prazak Dominik, Tokihiko Kobata, Jorge Torres, Irina Sadkovskaya
This report summarizes the Consultative Committee for Mass (CCM) key comparison CCM.P-K4.2012 for absolute pressure spanning the range of 1 Pa to 10 000 Pa. The comparison was completed via calibration of a transfer standard carried out at six NMIs during

Transfer Standard Uncertainty Can Cause Inconclusive Inter-Laboratory Comparisons

October 7, 2016
Author(s)
John D. Wright, Blaza Toman, Bodo Mickan, Gerd Wubbeler, Olha Bodnar, Clemens Elster
Inter-laboratory comparisons use the best available transfer standards to check the participants’ uncertainty analyses, identify underestimated uncertainty claims or unknown measurement biases, and improve the global measurement system. For some measurands

CHALLENGES IN TOLERANCE TRANSFER FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Gaurav Ameta, Shawn P. Moylan, Paul Witherell
Abstract: From the design point of view, datum features are used to imply design intent of particular function of the part or sequence of assembly of components in a product. Each feature in a part could potentially have different datum reference based on

Broadband Radiometric LED Measurements

September 6, 2016
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, P. Yvonne Barnes, Howard W. Yoon, Leonard Hanssen, Vyacheslav B. Podobedov, Robert E. Vest, Uwe Arp, C Cameron Miller
At present, broadband radiometric measurements of LEDs with uniform and low-uncertainty results are not available. Currently, either spectral radiometric measurements or broadband photometric LED measurements are used. The broadband photometric

Marie Curie’s Last Radium Standard – Grand Challenge

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Bert M. Coursey
The last of the radium-226 standards that Marie Curie personally handled is destined for a radioactive materials waste dump. Presented here is a history of the standards and a challenge to the scientific community to present a rationale for why this
