Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is providing a public opportunity to learn more about NIST efforts to develop a tabletop Kibble balance aimed at realizing mass [500 mg-20 g], with uncertainties of parts in 10\6\, and traceable to the new quantum International System of Units (SI). The two-hour virtual meeting will take place October 19, 2022, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. eastern time.

Discovery and Information Sharing Event Regarding Direct 
Realization of Mass

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is 
providing a public opportunity to learn more about NIST efforts to 
develop a tabletop Kibble balance aimed at realizing mass [500 mg-20 
g], with uncertainties of parts in 10\6\, and traceable to the new 
quantum International System of Units (SI). The two-hour virtual 
meeting will take place October 19, 2022, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. eastern time.

DATES: The workshop will be held on October 19, 2022, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. 
eastern time. Registration is not required but requested via email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Institute of Standards and 
Technology (NIST) is providing a public opportunity to learn more about 
NIST efforts to develop a tabletop Kibble balance aimed at realizing 
mass [500 mg-20 g], with uncertainties of parts in 106, and traceable 
to the new quantum International System of Units (SI). A first-
generation prototype, KIBB-g1 (patented by NIST), has proven gram-level 
masses can be directly realized via a tabletop-sized, low complexity, 
affordable system. Several government agencies are collaborating with 
NIST to develop a second- generation model (provisional patent 
submitted).
    NIST is inviting industry leaders in mass metrology and precision 
balance manufacturing, as well as other interested parties, to attend a 
two-hour virtual meeting to learn more about the next generation 
tabletop Kibble balance and opportunities for potential collaboration 
with NIST to advance this technology.
    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272(b) & (c).

NIST Executive Secretariat.
