l TRAINING RESOURCES AT RIDG WATER CO LEGE (See additional information in the Training Directory)

Ridgewater College offers traditional and online courses from the measurements science program, which can lead to a DegreelDiploma in Metrology. Ridgewater utilizes, among other resources, WorkPlace Training's Precision Measurement computer­based training modules in a portion of the CUITiculum. Since Aurora Community College in Colorado recently discontinued its Calibration Program, NCSLl Members may be looking for alterna­tives to that program.

In addition, Ridgewater may grant college credit for coursework already completed by new enrollees in its Distance Leaming Program.

R MEMBER. G HANK GO ZALEZ

Hf'ury F. (Hank) GOllzalez 1934 - 1999

Hemy F. Gonzalez was bom Sept.

l. 25, 1934 in New York, NY. Hank was stationed at White Sands Missile Range, Las Cruses, NM, when hc was in the Army. Upon completion of his Army tour in 1960, and a brief period of employment with a base contractor,

hc began his civil service career in metrology and calibration at WSMR.

Old-time NCSLI members will rcmember Hank, who often attended our NCSLI Conferenccs with .lim Hannon, Chief of the Metrology Lab at Whitc Sands. Tn spite of its physical remotc­ness, the WSMR Metrology Lab was wcll known for its high teehnical sophisticatiou and calibration capacity. Because of the large number of missile and technical programs which were test­ed there, tbe calibration workload was both high-tech and large.

Iu the early days of computer-operated automatic tcst systems, Hank was involved in the design and implemeutation of their lab's systems for instl1Jment calibration, as wen as for RF and microwave applications. He was a member of the early NCSLI Automatic Test Committec.

Some might remember Hank for his moment of unwauted fame in the 1970's, occasioned by his Congressional testimony regarding a large U.S. Army contractual situation, and subse­quently, being interviewed by the 60 Minutes TV program. Hank was always a bit reluctant to talk about that experience, although he did very well under that pressure. And we know of no other NCSLI Members who have such unique pictures and memories in their family albums.

Hank retired April 2, 1994, as Chief of The Secondary Standards Branch. He passed away on March 2, 1999, and is survived by his wife Dora, and son Jonathan.

An anecdote contributed by co-worker Robert Sleever: Hank grcw up in the 1940's and 50's, in suburban northern New Jersey. In modem parlance this was "Soprano Country," where there were profound linguistic and attitudinal (blUsque) influ­ences in the populace.

In the early sixties, Hank and one of his fellow calibration lab fledglings discovered that they had been raised in similar neigh­borhoods. They eujoyed an almost daily exchange ofloud and brash insults, perfected in their youthful association with their neighborhood friends. While always in the spirit offun and amusement to them, their colleagues undoubtedly remain P\IZ­

zled to this day about the nature of that relationship.

Editor sNo!e: Sorry for the la!e notice but we just discovered that Hank had passed in 1999.

Derek Porter Region 9 Coordinator

The Spring meeting of NCSLI Region 9 was held at the Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) on May 11,2001 at Richland, Washington.

Ken Hanison, of PNNL, our host, welcomed us to the Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory (EMSL).

Dave Agy, of Fluke, presented NCSLI news. Highlights included the celtified teehnician program and the future of NCSLI publications (possibly a method for sharing publications internally for member organizations).

Del Knapp, of Tektronix, discussed the path of ANSl/NCSL Z540-1. in light of the newly adopted ANSVISO/IEC 17025. He noted that ANSIINCSL Z540 has been reaffirmed with a 5-year extension, and thal the Writing Committee would rewrite Z540 within 2 years and would address 17025 deficiencies in the new Z540 docuTnent.

Barry Sachs presented the calibration management program at PNNL. A method for charging outside calibration services, using an online visa card (unique support beyond the local cal lab) to two approved vendors, seemed an excellent solution for ensuring con­trolled resources among a vast alny of lab requirements. One of the benefits of such a system is the elimination of organizational "red tapen and virtua1ly elllniuating the administrative costs usually asso- '....... ciated with procuriug outside services. The card allows for up to $2500 per use. Ban)' also covered their system of online procedures and the fact that the official copy of documents is the ouline (not the paper) version.

Bob Carmichael, of Bechtel B&W Idaho, presented insight into the consolidation of calibration services at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmcntal Laboratory.

Dave Agy stepped through the evolved requirements for uncertainty in ISO 17025. The difference in European and American conven­tions resulted in accounting for uncertainty without specific con­straints on guardbanding. Fluke has proposed a solution for guard­banding at 80% of perfonnance specifications for Test Unceltainty Ratios bet'Neen 1.5: I and 4: I, which would greatly simply uncer­tainty analysis.

Rick Laboy, of Boeing, Puget Sound Metrology, introduced his group's method for Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) calibra­tions, including a unique mcthod transferring standard uncertainties between CMM machines. The attendees enjoyed each presentation, and, as coordinator, I found myselfeventl.lally having to cut off the questions.

After lunch, we toured the EMSL. The four-year old facility allows scientists to share amazing resources in a very aesthetic setting. Separated into two groups, we toured through four different labs. It was awe-inspiring to be iu laboratories where exotic research into atoms and molecules was so elegantly presented.

Reports from the Regions

Among the highlights included:

1. A massively parallel supercomputer built by IBM capable of 250 gigaHops (250 Billion floating point operations per second).

2. A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility capable of analyzing biological tissues at the molecular level.

3. A lab which can build substrates on semiconductor materials molecule by molecule.

4. Other labs which can look at crystals and otber materials at the molecular or atomic level.

We then visited the more down-to-earth calibration lab at Hanford. With approximately 15 technicians, the lab performs approximately 15,000 calibrations/year on radiation monitoring equipment and approximately l400 calibrations/year on ordinary measureme .t and test equipment. Michele Johnson, the calibration manager, fielckd many questions from the attendees. The cal lab has had to de Idop u system for keeping up with requirements for remote labs.

Delivery trucks are provisioned r e vendors and respond as required. The lab has also had 1 dea \'Ith a pe Anent requirement for paper records of c:::librations and a paral I .. ~ sti" 1 for electronic archiving. We also received an overview of v;arious kinds of radia­tion sources (alpha, beta, and neutr Il) used for calibrating monitor­ing equipment, including ~h.i ,1ding t d special transport systems in use.

We had a full day and an excellent visit to Richland. Thank you Ken.

Roger Bl.lrton, of Houeywll FM&T, brought e meeting to order with welco ing remarks, introductions and 11 review of the day's agenda.

Jerry Ford of Honeywell FM&T gave a presentation on Multifunction Calibrator Certification. The normal procedure for calibrating digital multimeters (DMMs) and multifunction calibra­lars is to periodically adjust tbem to nominal values at a few points and then rely on the manufacturer's specifications at all points for some time interval. This makes sense for instnunents used in a manual mode, bUI those under computer control may be better left unadjusted so that a stability and drift history can be established and

used to improve performance. Jerry described calibration and COr­rection techniques that achieve uncertainties considerably smaller than the instrument's specifications.

Wayne Cummings of Fluke provided a very informative presenta­tion on Batch Temperatme Measurement.

Ron Russell of Honeywell FM&T gave a presentation on Development of a Vacuum Calibration System. The Vaeuum Gage Metrology System (VGMS) was developed to support stringent vac­uum measurement demands for process charactelization and control at Honeywell FM&T. The presentation addressed the methodology and design ofVGMS.

The calibration methodology' of the VGMS was generation of a sta­ble pressure to be used as a transfer mechanism during calibration of Vacuum Gages by comparison to known standards. The known standards used witbin the system are:

MKS Spinning Rotor Gage (SRGl I TOIT /I,·tKS Baratron Capacitance Manometer 10 Ton MKS Baratron Capaeitance Manometer 1000 TOIT rvu<.S Baratron Capacitance Manometer Pressure Divider Temperature Bath and controller

The calibration is started when thennal stability is attained and the test gas is defU1ed, connected. and purged. The calibration pressure is generated using one of three different techniques. The selection of a specific technique is driven by the magnitude of the calibration pressure that must be achieved.

Static Technique 0,0 I to LOOO Torr Dynamic Technique I 5.0 x10-4 to 0.01 Ton Dynamic Technique 2 * 5.0xI0-8 to 1.0xlO-4 Ton * Utilizes th.e orifice raUoing methodology

The system is automated and as a pressure is generated and the mcasurement is completed the system creates the next calibratiou pressure point and the process is continued until all the calibration data has been taken.

Leon Barnes of Honeywell FM&T concluded the preseutations with an overview of the ANSIINCSLI Writing Group Activities.

Each attendec was asked to fill out a meetiug questiounaire, and the completed questionnaires were drawn to award door prizes. A spe­cial thanks to Fluke and the NCSLI business office for supplying some nice door prizes.

The day concluded witb an excellent tour of the Honeywell AEL facility.

Canada Spring Meeting

Our April200l Spring meeting, held at Environment Canada's National Water Research Institute located at the Canada Center for Inland Waters, in Burlington, Ontario, was very successful and well attended by 46 people. Special thanks to our host, Les Peer, and the Water Research Institute for once again providing this beautiful facility for our meeting.

Water quality measurements are made at this institute in support of the CanadaJUSA Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and various scientific studies. Information fTom these studies is used in identify­ing areas of eoncem involving significantly high water-pollution levels. Resulting data is used to formulate Remedial Action Plans (RAP) involving local users and all levels of government in order to address these eoncems.

On behalf of our NCSLI Canadian Region, 1 would like to thank the following speakers who gave excellent presentations:

Mark Kuisma, Quality Engineering Test Establishment. - Safety, Mobile Phones

Dr. Jennifer Decker, NRC - Fundamentals of Gauge Block Calibration.

Graham Cameron, Standards Council of Canada - NCSLI name change.

Dr. David Whitehouse, University of Warwick , UK - Comparison bet"Ween Optical & Stylus Methods of examining surfaces.

Gary Hysert, NRC - International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation.

Kevin Kaufinan, Tegam Corp - Today's sources for standard resistors.

Mike Ouellette, NRC - CLAS status report 011 Proficiency testing.

The presentations werc all very interesting and were well received by the attendees. A gift certificate was presented to Marilyn Ross, who is retiring this spring after many years of service to both the Department of National Defence and the NCSLI Canadian Region. Graham Cameron paid a tribute to Marilyn at the end of our meeting.

Reports from the Regions

Marilyn Ross, an NCSLI contribulOrfor yem's (oild probabb' decades), and the heart ofRegion 12, is recogni:;ed al her retirement by Region 12 Coordinator Wavne Sampson.

Wayne took {he easy way alii on. their group shot, by not herding the people outside for the usual on-the-stepsformat.

PRESIDE iT'S MESS GE (continued jimn cover)

Prior to the April Board of Directors meeting, Charlie Motzko and I met with Dr. Janusz Lustyk, Director General of the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC), and other senior members of his staff in Ottawa, Ontario. We discussed the recently published Canadian National Measurements Requirements Report, the rapid growth in the areas of biotechnology, chemical metrology, and accreditation issues related to free trade.

At the Canoda management meeting (L-R): Grah.am Cameron, D,: Eddy So, Gmy Hyserl, D7: James McLaren, Dr. Janusz Lustyk, Charles Motzko, John Ragsdale. and DJ: Chander Grovel:

Graham Cameron, NCSLl Past President, was also able to join us and report on the state of metrology education activities in Canada. He participated with us in a discussion on the need to increase om emphasis in the creation of formal metrology education programs, both in Canada and the United States. This was a very productive meeting and we are indebted to Gary Hysert, NRCC Representative to the Board, for arranging for the meeting.

At our Spring Board of Directors meeting in Cincinnati, OH, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to publish NCSL International Position Paper #3, "NCSL InLemational Position on the Use of the International System of Units (SI)." Ihe text of this position paper is on page 5 in tills Newsletter. In other news of note, Dr. Richard Kayser infOffiled the Board that NIST has devel­oped a policy On traceability (see page 32). This policy can be viewed on the NIST website:

<htl:p://www.nisLgov/traceability/nist>. NIST is soliciting feedback from the metrology community and corrunents can be sent to NISI at <traceability@nist.gov>.

Our next Board of Director's meeting will be held in conjunction with the annual conference in Washington, DC. One of the high­lights of this meeting each year is the Region/Section Coordinators Workshop. This event affords tbe Region/Section Coordinators, and members of the Board, an opportunity to discuss ways to better support Region and Section activities, to increase membership, and to develop strategies for improving attendance at Region/Section .meetings.

This yea]', the Region/Section Coordinators workshop will be held from 3-5 PM on Sunday afternoon. Carol Hockert, VP of the Central Division, along with support from the other Divisional VPs, will conduct the workshop. Topics that will be discussed include Inembership recruitment initiatives and the Uncertainty Analysis Workshops. These will be presented in a number of cities around the United States in October, 2001, and in April, 2002. In fact Seattle. Salt Lake City and Chicago have already been scheduled for this October. Please cheek with yom Region/Section Coordinator or the NCSLI website for the exact dates.

In closing, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to John Minck, who has been NCSLI Newsletter Editor for 23 years. John is a remarkable and tireless volunteer who continually pro­duces a quarterly newsletter we can all be proud of. This Anniversary Issue is due in the most part to his dedication, enthusi­asm, and tireless efforts in conducting the research and coordinat­ing the input of the other authors that contributed to tbis special edition.
