Coitarlson Ok lF.,!rERATlRE Sensors For Space INSTRUMl.NTATION
Author(s): Earl E, Suurtzlandcr, Jr.
Abstract/Introduction:
Five basic temperature sensors arc analyzed and compared, from the viewpoint of a user requiring i oodcrate range ( i . e . , less than lOOC) f a i r l y high accuracy ttnperature monitor. Some typical nonltor c i r c u i t s will be b-lefly described. It li shown by the typical circuits that sensor nonlinear!ty is not a major problem for these applications. A figure of merit Is presented which f a c i l i t a t e s comparison of the five sensors on the basis of s e n s i t i v i t y and stabili t y . The figure of merit Indicates that commercially available platinum resistance sensors and thermistors are more suitable for this class of temperature conitors than are thernocouples, quartz c r y s t a l s , or s i l i c o n rcslst.nnce sensors

AT10N Mid Surveaunce Of Calibration Aciivities In A Decentralized System*
Author(s): A. B. Draper
Abstract/Introduction:
The tight tolerances required of components for sophisticated, highly r e l i a b l e systems place proportionately tlht requirements on the measurement systems involved. When various componeni coming from separate fabricators must mate to noor perfection, the accuracy of nicasurcmonts must bo a product of a carefully coordinated system of standards and calibration a c t i v i t i e s . In the AEC weapon complex this is accomplished by a iltand.-iio Laboratory at e.ich location witre crltlc.-sl ..H-asuremcnts i r e performed with a central Prii.ury Standards Laboratory providing the baalt measurement support for the sy.stcm.

Tomorrows Weights And Measures Challenges Are Here Today
Author(s): Mack Rapp
Abstract/Introduction:
Tomorrows Weights and Measures challenges that are going to be here tomorrow are not the ones which I am concerned with -- nor the ones we should be much discussing today. In this context I think specifically of the type of challenge coming soon as presented by the conversion to the Metric System by our couni.ry and if this should be happening as I think it will in the near future, many problems will accrue for weights and measures people to wrestle with for quite some time to com. There will be the rewriting of rules and regulations. There will be the necessity of education and publicity. There will be the need for man power and the ability to live with dual systems through out the transition period. There will be many other such values which as I said in the beginning are the kind of challenges I for one am not concerned with it at this moment.

Abstract/Introduction:
The recently achieved maturity of digital voltage measuring techniques hos fostered a revolution in meatutement piocesses. Automatic data logging has increased the probability of measurement accuracy. Computer processing permits heretofore unreasonable volumes of data analytis artd correction. New techniques ore being used for maintaining and disseminating local siondord values. Alt of this makes it imperative that people with o broadtr training In technology and mathematical techniques be brought into the rneosurement field.

A Traceable Calibration Technique For Vacuum Gage
Author(s): Ramond L. Chuan
Abstract/Introduction:
A pressure divider method of providing very small pressure Increments whose values are related by basic gas law to a pressure which is traceable to a standard Is described. The system provides for the automatic calibration of any vacuum gage In any gas or gas mixture over a prescribed program of Increments from 2 x 10 torr up to any sub-atmospheric level.
