This report describes the test equipment, process, analysis, and data file formats for the Numisheet 2020 tensile and tension/compression testing of the four materials associated with the Numisheet 2020 conference benchmarks. The four materials include two steel alloys, DP980 for Benchmark 1 and DP1180 for Benchmark 2, and two 6000 series aluminum alloys, AA6xxx-T4 for Benchmark 1 and AA6xxx-T81 for Benchmark 2, that will be referred to here as BM1-DP980, BM2-DP1180, BM1-6xxx-T4, and BM2-6xxx-T81, respectively.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is in the form of chips sized between 0.50 and 1.18 mm sieve openings (35 and 16 mesh). It is intended for use primarily in chemical methods of analysis. Similar material for use in spectrometric methods of analysis is available as SRM 1297. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

Between 1922 and 1940, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) conducted a long-term investigation into the corrosion of bare steel and iron, pipes buried underground at 47 sites representing different soil types in the United States. Following the passage of the 2004 Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, the Department of Transportation's Office of Pipeline Safety requested that NIST review and reanalyze the data from the NBS study using modern statistical analysis tools. For this analysis, NIST compiled an updated database from the data in the publications by K. H. Logan (i.e.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, as part of its report on the collapse of the World Trade Center, characterized many important steels recovered from the buildings to provide stress-strain models to analyze the impact, fires, and resulting collapse. Those tests represent a large additional data set that can be used for modeling the response of steel structures to fire.

SRM 1297 Stainless Steel (SAE 201) - 'This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in optical emission and x-ray spectrometric methods of analysis. It is in the form of a disk approximately 32 mm in diameter and 19 mm thick. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

To provide estimates of employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the general labor force, of the population as a whole, and of various subgroups of the population. Monthly labor force data for the country are used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to determine the distribution of funds under the Job Training Partnership Act. These data are collected through combined computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) and computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI).

County Business Patterns (CBP) is an annual series that provides economic data by industry at the U.S., State, County and Metropolitan Area levels. This series includes the number of establishments, employment during the week of March 12, first quarter payroll, and annual payroll. CBP provides statistics for businesses with paid employees for the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas. Census Bureau staff identified a processing error that affects selected data from the 2014 County Business Patterns (CBP).

ZIP Code Business Patterns (ZBP) is an annual series that provides economic data by ZIP Code. This table includes the number of establishments, employment during the week of March 12, first quarter payroll, and annual payroll for All Industries by 5-digit ZIP Code. All Industries is set using SIC=00 from 1994 to 1997 and then with NAICS=00 from 1998 to present.
