Some precise measurements of the vapor pressure of liquid water at seven temperatures in the range 25 to 100 C were reported recently by H. F. Stimson of NBS. These measurements have an estimated standard deviation of 20 ppm or less, except at 25 C...
The vapor pressure of tungsten was measured by the Langmuir method in the temperature range 2574 to 3183 °K using a vaccum microbalance. The least-squares line through the data, logP(atm) = 7.790 - 44680/T, yields a second law ?H°s(2850 °K) = 204.4...
Heat of sublimation; Langmuir vaporization; rate of vaporization; tungsten; vapor pressure
The vapor pressure of tungsten was measured by the Langmuir method in the temperature range 2600 to 3100 K using a vacuum microbalance. Four series of data gave concordant results and three of the four series gave second and third law heats of...
Heat of sublimation; Langmuir vaporization; rate of vaporization; rhenium; vapor pressure
The vapor pressure of rhenium was measured by the Langmuir method in the temperature range 2350-3050 K using a vacuum microbalance. The least squares line through the four series of data points is 4.5756 log P(atm) = 32.26 - 180700/T. Least squares...
Heat of sublimation; Langmuir vaporization; platinum; rate of vaporization; vapor pressure
The vapor pressure of platinum was measured by the Langmuir method in the temperature range 1700-2000 K using a vacuum microbalance. Eight series of data gave concordant results and an average third-law heat of sublimation of 564.49 kJ mol-1 with...

A major activity in the 20 year collaboration between the Analytical Chemistry Division at NIST and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has been the development of highly accurate and precise "definitive" methods for important clinical...
The pseudonatural orbital procedure has been applied to the calculation of the potential energy curve of LiH and the dissociation energy of BeH+. Only the two-electron bonding pair is correlated and estimates of s and p type correlation are...
Dr. Marsden first arranged these tubes to ease identification and they were then given arbitrary numbers 1 through 64, with several sets of tubes. In total they comprise more than 64 vacuum tubes or electron devices. Dr. Marsden joined the...
Vacuum weighing of mass artifacts eliminates the necessity of air buoyancy correction and its contribution to the measurement uncertainty. Vacuum weighing is also an important process in the experiments currently underway for the redefinition of...
Blackbody sources with nearly unity emittance that are in equilibrium with a pure freezing metal such as gold, silver, or copper are used as primary standard sources in the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90). Recently, a facility...
This capacitor was constructed around 1930 and used until about 1938. It was designed to provide a uniform field between the guarded or measuring electrode and the unguarded electrode. The unguarded electrode rests on the bottom of the case on...
