At the keynote session of the 2009 Measurement Science Conference (MSC) on Thursday, March 26, MSC president Arman Hovakemian of NSWC Corona welcomed attendees, stating, “Test and measurement is key to all aspects of commerce in this historic time.”
Richard Turner, executive director of the USATA (US Army Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment Activity) gave the keynote address, during which he discussed the Army's measurement capabilities. “We have to be traceable [to NIST] or we'll fail,” he said. Turner noted that the metrology community is aging and there's a need for new talent to replace aging metrologists.
On the exhibit floor, Fluke displayed its AC and DC current shunts. The company's Hart Scientific division introduced the Model 4181 infrared temperature calibrator for calibrating infrared thermometers and thermal-imaging cameras. The 4181 features software that compensates its temperature readouts for differences in emissivity between itself and a thermometer under test.
Guildline Instruments exhibited the 6622A resistance bridge. Ectron displayed its Model 1140A thermocouple thermometer and calibrator. Tegam introduced the Model 1830A RF power meter for metrology. It supports calibration of thermistor RF power sensors from Agilent Technologies.
