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 3235 Soy Milk - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining vitamins, elements, proximates, fatty acids, and amino acids in soy milk and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is a soy milk prepared by a commercial manufacturer. A unit of SRM 3235 consists of 10 ampoules, each containing approximately 10 mL of material. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
