NIST developed a reference material consisting of synthetic fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA, which is the target of molecular diagnostic tests. These RNA fragments can assist in the development and validation of RT-qPCR assays for the detection SARS-CoV-2. The RNA fragments are characterized for concentration using digital PCR methods, may be used to assess limits of detection for SARS-CoV-2 assays, and may calibrate other in-house or commercial SARS-CoV-2 controls. This dataset includes data used for RTGM 10169 SARs-Cov-2 Research Grade Test Material validation.

Enforcement and Compliance's Global Steel Trade Monitor provides global import and export trends for the top countries trading in steel mill products.To supplement ITA's core trade statistics in the Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) system, quarterly country reports for the top 20 steel importing and top 20 steel exporting countries will be published.Each country report includes export and import trends by country and aggregate product, production and consumption data, and where available, information about trade remedy actions taken on steel products.

The Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) System, under the Department of Commerce, collects and publishes data of steel mill product imports. By design this information provides stakeholders and public valuable information on steel trade with the United States.

Table of U.S. exports of steel mill products for all steel mill products by quantity in metric tons.

The ‘Import Monitor’ aggregates detailed license information and makes it available for public analysis on a weekly basis. All imported steel products under the U.S. Bureau of the Census (Census) definition of steel mill products are required to have an import license effective June 9, 20051. The data from the licensing system are used in conjunction with similar Census data to put together the ‘Import Monitor’. This Monitor helps alert users to changes in import patterns.

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 intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of iodide. A unit of SRM 3180 consists of five 5 mL, sealed, amber, borosilicate glass ampoules of solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of iodide. The matrix of the solution is water containing sodium sulfite at a concentration of approximately 0.01 mol/L and sodium hydroxide at a concentration of approximately 0.005 mol/L. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of sulfate using anion ion chromatography (IC) or other methods. A unit of SRM 3181 consists of five 10 mL sealed borosilicate glass ampoules of solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of sulfate dissolved in filtered (0.22 ?m) water having a minimum resistivity of 18 megaohm centimeters. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended as a primary standard for the quantitative determination of chloride using anion ion chromatography (IC) or other methods. A unit of SRM 3182 consists of five 10 mL sealed borosilicate glass ampoules of solution. The solution is prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of chloride dissolved in filtered (0.22 µm) water having a minimum resistivity of 18 megaohm centimeters. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
