The Manufacturing Cost Guide is a tool that estimates the costs that US manufacturers face and can be used to help gauge the potential returns on manufacturing industry research projects through cost reductions. These costs are grouped into various standardized categories such as the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system along with other non-standardized costs.

The tool can be used to answer questions such as:

The NIST DART-MS Forensics Database is an evaluated collection of in-source collisionally-induced dissociation (is-CID) mass spectra of compounds of interest to the forensics community (e.g. seized drugs, cutting agents, etc.). The is-CID mass spectra were collected using Direct Analysis in Real-Time (DART) Mass Spectrometry (MS), either by NIST scientists or by contributing agencies noted per compound. The database is provided as a general-purpose structure data file (.SDF).

These four data files contain datasets from an interlaboratory comparison that characterized a polydisperse five-population bead dispersion in water. A more detailed version of this description is available in the ReadMe file (PdP-ILC_datasets_ReadMe_v1.txt), which also includes definitions of abbreviations used in the data files. Paired samples were evaluated, so the datasets are organized as pairs associated with a randomly assigned laboratory number.

The NIST/ARPA-E Database of Novel and Emerging Adsorbent Materials is a free, web-based catalog of adsorbent materials and measured adsorption properties of numerous materials obtained from article entries from the scientific literature. Search fields for the database include adsorbent material, adsorbate gas, experimental conditions (pressure, temperature), and bibliographic information (author, title, journal), and results from queries are provided as a list of articles matching the search parameters.

Interlaboratory data from assessments of SRMs and other method comparison samples

Compressed-liquid density data for pure fluids and binary mixtures. Temperature range 270 K to 470 K up to pressures of 50MPa.

SRM 1546a Meat Homogenate - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining fatty acids, cholesterol, proximates, calories, elements, vitamins, and amino acids in canned meat products and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The meat homogenate is a mixture of pork and chicken products blended together in a commercial process. A unit of SRM 1546a consists of four cans, each containing approximately 85 g of 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.
