Description

Background:

NIST requires a Cryogenic Current Comparator System that consists of one (1) CCC system, comprising of a quantity of one (1) Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) control system, a quantity of one (1) Cryogenic Current Comparator Probe, a quantity of one (1) Cryogenic Current Comparator Drive Electronics and a quantity of three (3) LHe Vessel for Cryogenic Current Comparator Probe. NIST is seeking sources that can provide all four (4) components, manufactured by a single manufacturer. Components manufactured by different manufacturers and pieced together to complete the system is not acceptable. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Quantum Measurement (QMD) is building a robust open-source hardware and software Quantum Electro-Mechanical Metrology Suite (QEMMS) that provides quantum voltage, resistance, current, mass, and force dissemination directly traceable to the new SI. The goal is to develop a self-calibrating SI system that is turn-key and fit-for-purpose for primary standard laboratories and other national metrology institutes. NIST has developed a Graphene quantum Hall array resistance standard (QHARS) of about 1 kΩ which can operate up to 1 mA while maintaining accuracies at parts in 109. With the redefinition of the kilogram allowing primary mass realizations at values other than 1 kg, it is now possible to combine a 1 V Programmable Josephson Voltage System (PJVS) and a 1 kΩ QHARS to provide a quantum realization of the current that can be directly connected to a scaled down Kibble balance operating at 100 g. NIST research activities (resistance scaling from graphene QHR, and characterization of graphene QHARS), requires the purchase of a cryogenic current comparator (CCC) system.
