This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as an analytical standard of known purity. It is intended primarily for use in the calibration and standardization of procedures for potassium (K) and chloride (Cl-) determinations employed in clinical analysis, including those using ion-selective electrodes, and for routine critical evaluation of the daily working standards used in these procedures. This lot of potassium chloride (KCl) was prepared to ensure a material of high purity and homogeneity and has been assayed after heating at 110 degrees C to 120 degrees C.

Thermal conductivity data acquired previously for the establishment of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1450, Fibrous Glass Board, as well as subsequent renewals 1450a, 1450b, 1450c, and 1450d, are re-analyzed collectively and as individual data sets. Additional data sets for proto-1450 material lots are also included in the analysis (eleven data sets in total).

SRM 1450e Fibrous Glass Board - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in the measurement of the thermal conductivity or thermal resistance of insulation materials. SRM 1450e is a high-density fibrous glass board certified for bulk density and thermal conductivity. The SRM can be used in conjunction with ASTM C177 or ASTM C518. A unit of SRM 1450e consists of a square panel of fibrous glass and phenolic binder molded into a semi-rigid board.

This MEMS Calculator determines the following thin film properties from data taken with an optical interferometer or comparable instrument: a) residual strain from fixed-fixed beams, b) strain gradient from cantilevers, c) step heights or thicknesses from step-height test structures, and d) in-plane lengths or deflections. Then, residual stress and stress gradient calculations can be made after an optical vibrometer or comparable instrument is used to obtain Young's modulus from resonating cantilevers or fixed-fixed beams.

Standard Reference Material 131h Refined Cast Iron - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in validation of chemical and instrumental methods of analysis. It can be used to validate value assignment of in-house reference materials and, if necessary, to calibrate carbon/sulfur analyzers. A unit of SRM 131h consists of a bottle containing 100 g of chips. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

Standard Reference Material 1632d Trace Elements in Coal (Bituminous) - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in the evaluation of techniques used in the analysis of coals and materials of a similar matrix. A unit of SRM 1632d consists of 50 g of bituminous coal that was ground to pass a 250 µm (60 mesh) sieve, homogenized, bottled under an argon atmosphere, and sealed in an aluminized bag. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 1632e Trace Elements in Coal (Bituminous) - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for use in the evaluation of techniques used in the analysis of coals and materials of a similar matrix.

SRM 1633c Trace Elements in Coal Fly Ash - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in the evaluation of analytical methods for the determination of constituent elements in coal fly ash or materials of a similar matrix. SRM 1633c is a bituminous coal fly ash that was sieved through a nominal sieve opening of 74 µm (200 mesh) and then blended to assure homogeneity. A unit of SRM 1633c consists of 75 g of powdered material. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 1635a Trace Elements in Coal (Subbituminous) - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for the evaluation of techniques used in the analysis of coals and materials of a similar matrix. A unit of SRM 1635a consists of 50 g of subbituminous coal that was ground to pass a 250 µm (60 mesh) sieve, homogenized, bottled under an argon atmosphere, and sealed in an aluminized bag. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 194a Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is a highly purified and homogeneous lot of crystalline ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH4H2PO4). It is intended primarily for use as a working standard in the calibration and standardization of procedures employed in the fertilizer industry for the determination of ammoniacal nitrogen and phosphorus. A unit of SRM 194a consists of one bottle containing 90 g of crystalline ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
