Excerpt from Standard Reference Materials: The First Century
Numbering of Standard Samples and Standard Reference Materials has been assigned according to several different sys tems during the first century of production and certification. Almost all of the first 100 srms were completed before 1930 and assigned numbers more or less in sequence, with the exception of the first four standard samples (as was discussed in the main text). Occasionally a number was reserved for a certain srm, such as 85 for aluminum alloy (duralumin) first issued in 1943, that had a delayed issue or was not issued at all. In a few cases, numbers for unissued materials and srms that were issued but discontinued have been reused for different materials.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the pioneering journey of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in developing Standard Reference Materials (SRMs). Beginning in 1904, NIST's Standard Samples program played a crucial role in the advancement of American industry and scientific research. Over a century, the program has evolved to meet the demands of new technologies, from the automotive age to the space race, and from environmental concerns to advancements in biotechnology. As a testament to their enduring value, many SRMs have become NIST Traceable Reference Materials (NTRMs) â" a cornerstone of modern scientific measurements and technological innovation. The book delves into the thematic depths of reference materials, highlighting their significance in ensuring accuracy, consistency, and reliability in scientific and industrial endeavors. It explores the intricate interplay between SRMs and the development of various disciplines, from metallurgy and chemistry to medicine and environmental science. Through the lens of NIST's SRM program, this book offers a compelling narrative of scientific progress, technological breakthroughs, and the relentless pursuit of precision in measurements. It underscores the indispensable role of reference materials in shaping our understanding of the world, advancing innovation, and safeguarding human health and environmental well-being.
