Sensor Science Division

Welcome

The Sensor Science Division advances the measurement science, standards, and applications for sensing optical power, temperature, humidity, pressure, vacuum, flow, and related physical phenomena to support U.S. industry and trade. The Division has institutional reponsibility for maintaining two of the seven SI base units: the unit of temperature, the kelvin, and the unit of luminous intensity, the candela.
