Primer for mass metrology
Abstract
This paper attempts to fill the need for a coherent guide to the many publications which document the NBS program in mass metrology. The topics emphasized are generally those which experience has shown to present the greatest difficulties for metrologists new to the field of mass measurements. Many worked examples are included. Steps often omitted in more scholarly treatments of the same subjects are retained. A full bibliography is included so that the reader may also consult the primary sources of this work.
