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.

This data set is captured from a robot workcell that is performing activities representative of several manufacturing operations. The workcell contains two, 6-degree-of-freedom robot manipulators where one robot is performing material handling operations (e.g., transport parts into and out of a specific work space) while the other robot is performing a simulated precision operation (e.g., the robot touching the center of a part with a tool tip that leaves a mark on the part). This precision operation is intended to represent a precise manufacturing operation (e.g., welding, machining).

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.

NIST has created a Test System to measure conformance of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards for Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), specifically geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) information. The test system includes: test case definitions (2D CAD drawings with PMI), CAD models generated from the test cases, STEP files generated from the CAD models, and verification and validation reports.

Radio Frequency Measurements for Selected Manufacturing and Industrial Environments using a PN Code Sounding methodology. The resulting measurements include complex impulse responses and spectrum analysis traces. Complex impulse responses were validated using both ray tracing and an outdoor two-ray reference facility. This data is meant to serve as a reference of how radio waves at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz propagate in industrial environments.

Interlaboratory data from assessments of SRMs and other method comparison samples

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.

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 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.
