Changes in the Volt, Ohm and temperature and long range impact of using the Josephson Voltage Standard

Kupferman, Stuart L.

This report contains important information on the internationally mandated changes in the unit of the Volt and Ohm which will come into force on January 1, 1990; on how the Primary Standards Laboratory will respond to these changes, and recommendations on how the Contractor Standards Laboratories should respond to these changes. It also contains information about the new Josephson Voltage Standard that is now in operation at the Primary Standards Laboratory, and how the use of this standard will change the way that the Volt is disseminated to the Contractor Standards Laboratories. 1 fig.
