"How much does it weigh?" seems a simple question. To scientists and engineers, however, the answer is far from simple, and determining the answer demands consideration of an almost overwhelming number of factors. With an intriguing blend of history, fundamentals, and technical details, the Handbook of Mass Measurement sets forth the details of achieving the highest precision in mass measurements. It covers the whole field, from the development, calibration, and maintenance of mass standards to detailed accounts of weighing designs, balances, and uncertainty. It addresses the entire measurement process and provides in-depth examinations of the various factors that introduce error. Much of the material is the authors' own work and some of it is published here for the first time. Jones and Schoonover are both highly regarded veterans of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. With this handbook, they have provided a service and resource vital to anyone involved not only in the determination of mass, but also to the entire field of precision measurement.
Provides a one-stop resource for current information on various facets of mass metrology. Illustrates the key elements for the most rigorous mass measurement, and summarizes mass measurement literature, historical and current.
This book will clearly become the definitive reference source for all those concerned with measurement of mass, whether in basic science, engineering, or commerce. It encapsulates a unique range of practical experience that has not been recorded before.
