2006 NCSLI Workshop & Symposium
Nashville, TN August 6-10, 2006

A NASCAR race can be won or lost due to minor variations in tire pressure or to fractions of an inch in vehicle height. A Nashville musician depends on the quality of sound in his electric guitar that is built from parts with exacting specifications.

Industrial metrology laboratories calibrate equipment used to determine whether a product is shipped to a customer or it must be returned for re-work. Legal Metrology programs ensure that the measurements associated with commerce are accurate and reliable.

All of these examples require a sound and cohesive metrology and quality system to be in place. Metrology practiced anywhere in the traceability chain, from the National Metrology Institute to a customer's location, affects critical decisions and improves the quality of life for everyone.

The conference will cover the folowing topics
