Traceable Measurements and Reference Materials

The accuracy of material measurement procedures and the traceability of such measurements can be established by measuring reference materials with an N1500A material measurements system.

Reference materials and a measurement service are currently available through NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly National Bureau of Standards). Keysight Technologies is not part of the traceability chain and recommends that, for additional information, you contact NIST. Refer to “NIST Calibration Services User’s Guide,” NIST Special Publication 250 (1990 or later).

One of the measurement services offered by NIST uses the same algorithm as the N1500A software.
