We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Large reference calibration beads for imagers from
Whitehouse Scientific, which we summarised at the time by saying "Whitehouse Scientific has extended its range of NIST traceable reference calibration beads for image analysers with single size glass beads of greater than 1 mm in diameter".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Test equipment and portable printers in Hungary from
Extech Instruments: "Extech Instruments will be exhibiting at ElectroSalon, the international trade fair for electronics, electrical technology and automation, in Budapest, Hungary on 8-11 May 2007".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Universal Flow Monitors
concerning its Flow meter
- take a look at Lubrication oil viscosity-insensitive flow meters
which says: "Universal Flow Monitors has introduced the L Series viscosity-insensitive flow meters with +/- 5 percent accuracy for lubrication oils with a viscosity range between 40 and 200 centipoise".
Take a look also at the news release from National Institute Of Standards and Technology, Metrology interoperability consortium,
as well as Common metrology interoperability sought from DMIS,
and Open connectivity for CNC integration from OMAC.
