Temperature and Humidity Group

Welcome
Temperature and humidity thumbnailThe Temperature and Humidity Group realizes, maintains, and disseminates the national measurement standards for temperature and humidity. The Group advances temperature and humidity measurements and applications; calibrates sensors and disseminates practical standards; participates in international comparisons to validate national standards; develops measurement methods, devices, and reference materials and data; assists users in the assessment of measurement uncertainty; prepares and promulgates evaluations and descriptions of temperature and humidity measurement processes; coordinates national and international temperature and humidity measurement standards and methods; and determines the uncertainty of the national standards of temperature and humidity with respect to fundamental thermodynamic definitions.
Programs/Projects

Spectroradiometry of sources—Calibration standards for spectral radiance and spectral irradiance are disseminated in the form of transfer lamps and integrating sphere sources. These disseminated standards are made traceable to …

Thermometry—The NIST Temperature and Humidity Group maintains and develops national standards of temperature (in the range 0.65 K to 1235 K), and supports calibration of all types of contact thermometers up to …

Humidity—The NIST Temperature and Humidity Group maintains and develops national standards of humidity (in the range 1 nmol/mol to 0.6 mol/mol of water concentration), and supports calibration of all types …
