Held over 5 days, the workshop includes numerous hands-on laboratory
exercises and abundant opportunities to ask questions regarding
your own applications. Applicants should possess undergraduate knowledge
in physics or engineering and should have some laboratory experience
in metrology.

ITS-90 FIXED-POINT CELL MINI-WORKSHOP
ITS-90 Fixed-Point Cell Mini-Workshop will be given at the NIST
Platinum Resistance Thermometry Laboratory in Gaithersburg, MD on
August 23-24, 2004.
The workshop is designed to provide intensive "hands-on"
laboratory training in the realization of ITS-90 fixed-point cells.
Using standard platinum resistance thermometers (SPRTs), participants
will measure the freezing, melting and immersion curves of the ITS-90
fixed-point cells over the range from the mercury triple point to
the zinc freezing point. Additionally, part of the course will focus
on the development of uncertainty statements for the fixed-point
cells and subsequently SPRT calibrations.
Time will be split between laboratory (85%) and lecture (15%) sessions.
The workshop is intended for calibration laboratory personnel who
are familiar with using SPRTs and/or have taken the NIST Precision
Thermometry Workshop.

LIQUID-IN-GLASS THERMOMETER MINI-WORKSHOP
The Liquid-in-Glass Thermometer Mini-Workshop will be given at
the NIST Industrial Thermometer Calibration Laboratory in Gaithersburg,
MD in the Spring of 2004.
The workshop is designed to provide intensive "hands-on"
laboratory training both in the calibration of liquid-in-glass thermometers,
and in the proper use of liquid-in-glass thermometers as temperature
standards for comparison calibrations. Participants will calibrate
liquid-in-glass thermometers at the ice point and against a standard
platinum resistance thermometer over the range -50 °C to 250
°C in stirred liquid baths. Instruction will include the use
of check standards, emergent stem corrections, and correction for
ice point depression. Additionally, part of the course will focus
on the development of uncertainty statements for the calibration
and use of liquid-in-glass thermometers.
Time will be split between laboratory (85%) and lecture (15%) sessions.
The workshop is intended for calibration laboratory personnel who
are familiar with using liquid-in-glass thermometers in a calibration
environment and/or have taken the NIST Precision Thermometry Workshop.
