Definition of master block and check standard At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the first two blocks in the design are NIST masters which are designated R1 and R2, respectively. The R1 block is a steel block, and the R2 block is a chrome-carbide block. If the test blocks are steel, the reference is R1; if the test blocks are chrome-carbide, the reference is R2. The check standard is always the difference between R1 and R2 as estimated from the design and is independent of R1 and R2. The designs are listed in this section of the catalog as: Doiron design for 3 gauge blocks - 6 measurements1. Doiron design for 3 gauge blocks - 9 measurements2. Doiron design for 4 gauge blocks - 8 measurements3. Doiron design for 4 gauge blocks - 12 measurements4. Doiron design for 5 gauge blocks - 10 measurements5. Doiron design for 6 gauge blocks - 12 measurements6. Doiron design for 7 gauge blocks - 14 measurements7. Doiron design for 8 gauge blocks - 16 measurements8. Doiron design for 9 gauge blocks - 18 measurements9. Doiron design for 10 gauge blocks - 20 measurements10. Doiron design for 11 gauge blocks - 22 measurements11. Properties of designs that use 2 master blocks Historical designs for gauge blocks (Cameron and Hailes) work on the assumption that the difference measurements are contaminated by linear drift. This assumption is more restrictive and covers the case of drift in successive measurements but produces fewer designs. The Cameron/Hailes designs meeting this criterion allow for: two reference (master) blocks, R1 and R2 ● check standard = difference between the two master blocks● and assign equal uncertainties to values of all test blocks. The designs are listed in this section of the catalog as: Cameron-Hailes design for 2 masters + 2 test blocks1. Cameron-Hailes design for 2 masters + 3 test blocks2. Cameron-Hailes design for 2 masters + 4 test blocks3. Cameron-Hailes design for 2 masters + 5 test blocks4. 2.3.4.2. Drift-elimination designs for gauge blocks http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/mpc/section3/mpc342.htm (3 of 4) [5/1/2006 10:12:00 AM] Important concept - check standard The check standards for the designs in this section are not artifact standards but constructions from the design. The value of one master block or the average of two master blocks is the restraint for the design, and values for the masters, R1 and R2, are estimated from a set of measurements taken according to the design. The check standard value is the difference between the estimates, R1 and R2. Measurement control is exercised by comparing the current value of the check standard with its historical average. 2.3.4.2.
