Abstract 

Rheological measurements are often performed using a rotational rheometer. In 

this type of rheometer, the tested fluid is sheared between two surfaces, one of which is 

rotating [1]. Usually, the angular velocity is imposed and the response of the material is 

monitored by the measurement of the torque. The manufacturers recommend the use of a 

standard oil of known viscosity to verify that the instrument is operating correctly. 

Because these oils are expensive, however, they cannot be used for the large 

volumes employed in concrete rheometers. Therefore, a relatively inexpensive, accurate 

reference material is needed that incorporates aggregates for concrete rheometers. As 

concrete and mortar are non-Newtonian, the reference material should also be nonNewtonian. The development of this new Standard Reference Material (SRM) is based 

on a multiphase approach. This report is the description of the development and 

certification of a paste SRM. Based on this SRM, further SRMs for mortar and concrete 

will be developed in the future. 

The purpose of this report is to describe the process to certify SRM 2492, a 

“Bingham Paste Mixture for Rheological Measurements”. All measurements used for the 

development of the rheological characteristics are provided along with statistical 

analyses.

1 Introduction 

A National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference 

Material® (SRM) meets specific certification criteria and is issued with a certificate of 

analysis that reports the results of its characterization and provides information regarding 

the appropriate use(s) of the material. An SRM is prepared and used for three main 

purposes: 1) to help develop accurate methods of analysis; 2) to calibrate measurements 

systems used to facilitate exchange of goods, institute quality control, determine 

performance characteristics, or measure a property at the state-of-art limit; and 3) to 

ensure the long-term adequacy and integrity of measurement quality assurance programs. 

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides over 1300 different 

SRMs to industry and academia. Every NIST SRM is provided with a certificate of 

analysis that gives the official characterization of the material’s properties. In addition, 

supplementary documentation, such as this report, describing the development, analysis, 

and use of SRMs, is also often provided to ensure effective use of these materials. 

There are several SRMs related to the cement industry but none is related to the 

rheological properties of cement paste, mortar or concrete. After completing two 

international inter-laboratory studies related to rheological properties measurements of 

concrete, it was determined that the use of expensive oils was not suitable for calibration 

of concrete rheometers. Thus, a need exists for a granular reference material specifically 

designed for concrete was requested by the industry. SRM 2492, the first step for 

concrete rheological SRM, is a two-component fluid having Bingham characteristics. 

The operator needs to mix the two components with water in the proportions provided in 

the certificate. Once mixed the material shelf life of the mixture is 7 d. The values given 

in this report were obtained through testing performed at NIST using a serrated parallel 

plate rheometer. 

The objective of this report is to describe the SRM 2492 and its rheological 

properties. A brief description of the methodology and all measurements used are 

provided along with the statistical analysis.

2 Description of Rheological Measurements 

2.1 Introduction 

Rheological measurements are commonly performed using a rotational rheometer. In this 

type of rheometer, the test fluid is sheared between two surfaces, one of which is rotating 

while the other is stationary [1]. The rate of the rotating surface is precisely controlled by 

a computer, while measuring the torque resulting from the material response. Laboratory 

rheometers are mainly designed for homogeneous liquids, such as oils, containing no 

particles, such as oils. The manufacturers recommend the use of a standard oil of known 

viscosity to verify that the instrument is operating correctly. The kinematic viscosities are 

determined by reference to the water viscosity established by international consensus in 

1953 [2], as described in ISO-3666 (International Organization for Standardization) [3]. 

In 1954, NIST [2] conducted a study to compare two rheological techniques, the 

Bingham viscometer and the Cannon Master viscometer (both based on capillary flow) 

that are still used today for determining the viscosity values of standard oils. 

Because these oils are expensive, it is not economically practical to use them due 

to the large volumes of oil needed in concrete rheometers. Some concrete rheometers 

have used a less expensive oil with a known viscosity to calibrate a concrete rheometer. 

For example, in 2003, a high viscosity polydimethylsiloxane fluid (with a NIST measured 

viscosity of 29.5 Pa·s ± 0.6 Pa·s at 24.4 °C ± 0.4 °C), was used in concrete rheometers 

[4] during an international round robin. It was shown that not all rheometers were able to 

measure the oil rheological properties, due to their specific shear patterns and slippage or 

lack of it on the shearing surfaces. In the case of fresh concrete, the geometry of the 

rheometer needs to allow the distance between the shearing surfaces to be sufficiently 

large to accommodate aggregates of at least 25 mm in diameter. The increase in size 

leads to generally unknown shear patterns and test results that cannot quantitatively 

characterized in fundamental units. Therefore, calibration of such large and non-standard 

rheometers is impossible using the traditional measurement protocol involving. It should 

be stated that any two concrete rheometers were found to be linearly correlated [4, 5, 6]. 

Thus current research has established the need for a new reference material for 

calibrating concrete rheometers. Concrete is a non-Newtonian suspension, thus any 

reference material mixture must be a non-Newtonian suspension. Ideally such a material 

must be inexpensive, reproducible and repeatable with respect of both its physical and 

chemical properties, and readily allow the inclusion of aggregates, similar as used in 

concrete. Given the constraints, the new strategy was to develop a granular mixture 

similar to concrete. American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 238 on Workability of 

Fresh Concrete, considered this approach and recommended the use of an oil of known 

viscosity in which particles could be added. The calculation of the viscosity of the 

mixture would be a combination of experimental measurements and computerized 

modeling. Thus, spherical particles would simplify the computerized model. Moreover, 

the particle specific gravity should match that of the oil to avoid sedimentation during 

testing as the medium has no yield stress. Given these constraints, hollow plastic spheres 

were an excellent candidate material. Unfortunately, their cost is prohibitive. Therefore, 
 3 

this idea was deemed impractical and thus, was abandoned as a viable strategy. Instead, a 

multiscale approach was considered to be the next best option. 

The multiscale approach consists of developing a paste, followed by a wellcharacterized mortar and the well-characterized concrete. A mortar is produced by adding 

sand to the paste while, a concrete is produced by adding coarse aggregates to this 

mortar. The rheological parameters of the mortar and concrete would be determined from 

the paste through a combination of measurements and computer simulation. The 

simulation is designed to calculate the viscosity of the suspensions (mortar or concrete) 

from the medium viscosity (cement paste) with various aggregate concentrations, 

aggregate size distribution, and particle shape. 

A non-Newtonian reference material for cement paste should have the following 

characteristics: 1) no particle segregation for the duration of the test; 2) linear Bingham 

stress response to shear rates over a large range; 3) rheological and chemical properties 

unchanged over at least several days, with no chemical reactions between the medium 

and the particles; 4) a yield stress sufficient to avoid segregation of added sand and 

coarse aggregates; and 5) the linear response should be reversible, implying no structural 

breakdown or build-up, flocculation or deflocculation during the test, i.e., no hysteresis. 

2.2 Rheological parameters 

The primary output of rheological measurements is either a shear stress-shear rate 

plot or a plot of the rotational speed of the rotating surface versus the torque. In cases 

where the geometry of the rheometer does not permit a direct calculation of the shear 

stress and shear rate in fundamental units, the rotational speed is plotted against torque 

[6]. 

The viscosity [1] is defined as the ratio of the shear stress over the shear rate at a 

given shear rate. For a Newtonian fluid, the viscosity is the slope of the linear fitted line 

of the shear stress-shear rate plot, passing through zero. Most granular mixtures are nonNewtonian, however. Non-Newtonian mixtures exhibit a yield stress, which is the stress 

needed to initiate deformation or flow of the material. This yield stress can be measured 

in several ways. The most common method is the extrapolation from the Bingham test 

method [9, 10]. 

The Bingham equation (Eq. (1)) is used in determining the plastic viscosity and 

the yield stress. This procedure implies that the plastic viscosity ηpl is defined as the slope 

of the shear stress versus shear rate curve and the yield stress τB is the intercept of the 

curve at zero shear rate. This point is generally not measured so this constitutes an 

extrapolation (Figure 1). The Bingham rheological parameters, yield stress and plastic 

viscosity, will characterize the flow curve within a range of shear rates, as shown in 

Figure 3 and equation [1]. 

τ τ η γ& = B + pl [ 1]
 4 

where σ = shear stress, σB = yield stress, ηpl = plastic viscosity, and γ& = shear rate. 

Figure 1: Bingham model and calculation of the plastic viscosity and yield stress. 

2.3 Experimental Set-up 

Conventional rotational rheometers often have different geometries. Nevertheless, 

the principle always involves two surfaces shearing the material [1]. The geometry used 

in this report is serrated parallel plates as shown in Figure 2. The plates were 35 mm in 

diameter. Figure 2A shows the actual plates while Figure 2B shows a schematic of a 

parallel plate rheometer. To shear a granular material, precautions need to be taken to 

avoid slippage of the shearing surface. The device used had serrated surfaces as shown in 

Figure 2C. As this SRM contains water, precautions also need to be taken to avoid 

evaporation during the measurement. This is achieved by creating a small enclosure 

around the shearing plates as shown in Figure 2D. Finally, a wet sponge was placed in the 

enclosure to maintain a high relative humidity environment. 

The gap between the two parallel plates was 0.600 mm ± 0.001 mm. A smaller gap 

could cause the particles to jam while a larger gap might lead to the material not staying 

between the plates. The temperature of the rheometer was maintained at 23 °C ± 0.5 °C 

during all tests. 

In the rheometer used the rotational speed is controlled and the torque is measured. 

The computer software calculates automatically the shear rate and the shear stress from 

the rotational speed and the measured torque. The shear rate is calculated as follows:

For Newtonian liquids the factor R d lnT d lnγ& is equal to 1. In our case, it was estimated 

to be 0.84 leading to an error of about 4 % (less than the uncertainty due to other factors). 

It was decided to use the Newtonian approximation to simplify calculations. Therefore, 

the equation used was:

A more accurate rheological error assessment, including the correction of the zeroing of 

the plates requires a standard oil. The measurement protocol for making these 

assessments is described in Section 5. 

After calculating of the shear rate and shear stress from the torque and angular 

velocity, these values were corrected for plate roughness and zeroing error (due to the 

instrument) as outlined by Ferraris et al. [8]. This correction consists of modifying the 

gap by 0.27 mm [9, 10]. Further details on the uncertainty of the method can be found in 

ref. [8]. 

A measured volume of 1.3 mL of material was placed in the rheometer and the gap 

adjusted to 0.6 mm. Then the material was nominally sheared at 0.01 s-1 for 150 s before 

starting the Bingham test. The Bingham test consisted in increasing the nominal shear 

rates from 0.1 s-1 to 50 s-1 (10 points) and then decreasing shear rate from 50 s-1 to 0.1 s-1

(20 points). At each point the shear rate was maintained at the desired value until 

equilibrium of the torque was reached, but for a time not to exceed 30 s. 

The hysteresis (Pa/s) was defined as the area between the up (increasing shear rate) 

and down (decreasing shear rates) curves of shear stress vs. shear rate.

3 Materials 

3.1 Characteristics of the Limestone and Corn Syrup 

Preliminary tests were conducted on samples of the corn syrup from another batch 

of material used for this SRM. According to the manufacturer, the material is a pure corn 

syrup with no additives. Its density measured at NIST was 1436 kg/m3 ± 5 kg/m3

, with a 

water content of 18.6 % ± 0.2 % by mass, and a composed of 100 % glucose. 

The limestone powder is referred to by the manufacturer as micro-limestone flour. 

Per the manufacturer, the limestone powder is passed a #325 sieve (45 μm opening). The 

particle size distribution of the limestone is shown in Figure 3. Analyses were conducted 

on samples of the limestone powder to determine its mineralogical, chemical, and 

physical properties. 

The mineralogical analysis by X-ray powder diffraction is based upon replicate 

analyses of the bulk limestone powder. In addition, X-ray powder diffraction was also 

performed on insoluble residue of carbonate phase. The insoluble residue was obtained 

through a 10 % by volume hydrochloric acid extraction of the bulk limestone. The 

insoluble residue is typically composed of quartz, clays, and other minerals unaffected by 

the dissolution process. The residue is pipetted onto a glass slide to facilitate 

identification of the clay minerals, and the slide is analyzed after three treatments: heating 

to 110 °C to collapse any expandable clays, saturation in a 50% ethylene glycol solution 

to expand the basal spacing of any expandable clays, and then heating to 550 °C to 

collapse the layers completely and to decompose specific clay minerals. The most 

reliable numbers are the carbonates and quartz. Based upon a single measurement of 

mass loss on dissolution, the insoluble residue was estimated to comprise about 2.5 % of 

the total limestone powder. The residue also appeared deliquescent, possibly confounding 

the insoluble residue analysis. 

The limestone is composed (Table 1) of calcite, dolomite, tremolite, quartz, talc, a 

chlorite/smectite inter-stratified clay and an illite/mica. The presence of talc and tremolite 

is not uncommon in limestones exposed to some metamorphic processes. Scanning 

Electron Microscopy (SEM) pictures at various magnifications are shown in Figure 4.

3.2 Packaging 

The corn syrup was purchased in bottle 3.78 L (1 gallon) and the corn syrup in each 

gallon bottle was repackaged at NIST into the smaller glass bottles containing about 500 

g of corn syrup. Each smaller bottle was numbered from 1 to 48 and placed in a box. In 

total there were 5 boxes labeled CS-BXA (A= 1 to 5). 

The limestone was ordered in a bag of 907 kg (2000 lbs). The material was then 

repackaged into plastic jars with about 600 g each. Each jar was labeled from 1 to 24 and 

placed in a box BX-A (A = 1 to 20). Prior to final packaging for shipment, the bottles 

were selected following the scheme shown in Table 2 for CS-BX1 and the corresponding 

boxes, BX-1 to BX-4, of limestone 

The packaged SRM contains enough material to make two batches of paste. It has 

one glass container labeled “Component 1 Corn Syrup” (400 g) and two plastic 
 10 

containers labeled “Component 2 Limestone” (each about 500 g). Each of the plastic 

containers is one batch while the glass bottle contains enough corn syrup for two batches. 

3.3 Preparation of the SRM 

The SRM batch must be prepared by the operator before it can be used. Once mixed, 

the shelf life of the mixture is about 7 d. Therefore, it should not be prepared too far in 

advance of its usage. To prepare the mixture, follow the instructions below. 

Mixture composition 

• Corn Syrup: 200 g 

• Distilled water: 63.16 g 

• Limestone: 458.1 g 

The equipment and the method are described in ASTM C1738. Introduce the water 

and the corn syrup (in that order) into the blender, mix for 30 s and then proceed as 

described in ASTM C1738 to introduce the limestone. The water bath and the rheometer 

should be maintained at 23 °C. 

Store the mixture in a sealed plastic jar. It is recommended to use a plunger mixer to 

remix the prepared SRM before each use. Store the SRM in a sealed container, 

maintained at 23 °C ± 2 °C.

4 Experimental Design 

Twelve units of the SRM as packaged for sale were randomly selected for testing. 

Two units were tested each day. As each unit contains two batches of SRM, four tests 

were done on each day of testing. Each mixture was measured immediately after mixing 

(labeled as 1 d), and 3 d and 7 d after mixing. The order of each mixture and 

measurement was randomized as shown in Table 5 and the schedule is shown in Table 6. 

Each reported value was the average of 3 consecutive tests run back-to-back. All raw data 

are shown in Appendix B.

5 Statistical analysis 

The data used for the analysis of various rheological quantities for SRM 2492 were 

collected using a nested design with 3 primary factors: box, day, and unit. Two replicate 

samples were prepared for each unit, each using corn syrup from the single bottle 

associated with the unit and the limestone from the two single-use bottles of limestone 

powder associated with the unit. With this design a linear model can be fit to the data to 

identify different levels of random variability associated with each of the three primary 

factors. In addition the run order of the measurements is another factor whose potential 

effect is addressed by randomization of the run order. 

Results derived from the raw data were recorded for three quantities: viscosity (VS), 

yield strength (YS), and hysteresis (H) from tests carried out on the samples at three 

different ages (1 d, 3 d, and 7 d). Since age of the sample is believed to have a significant 

effect a priori, the results at each age are treated as different responses, giving 9 responses 

in all. The data used in the analysis are shown in Table 1 in Appendix A-1. 

The first step in the analysis of the data was an exploratory data analysis. In this 

analysis plots of the data in run order, versus age, and versus each of the three primary 

factors were examined for evidence of measurement drift, outliers, factor effects, and any 

other features that might impact further analysis for certification. In addition, normal 

probability plots of each response were made to assess the normality of the data, assuming 

the effects of the other factors are not large. These plots are shown in Appendix A on pages 

A-2 through A-43 and were made using the software package R [12]. While a few outlying 

points were observed, these data were not associated with any recognized problems 

associated with sample preparation or measurement, so no data were omitted from further 

analysis. (Note, prior to this analysis, while the data were being organized, two 

observations that were associated with recognized issues in sample preparation or 

measurement and whose results differed significantly from what was expected and 

observed for similar cases and were omitted from the analysis. One sample was omitted for 

all responses at all ages while only the measurements at an age of 1 d for the other sample 

were affected.) No large factor effects were identified from these plots either, although the 
15 

plots suggest that small effects may be present in some cases. Assuming any factor effects 

that do exist are essentially insignificant relative to the random measurement error, all 

responses appear to follow a distribution that is approximately normal. 

Next a Bayesian hierarchical model was fit to the data to quantify contributions to 

the overall variability in the data from random errors associated with the factors day and 

unit. A Bayesian model was used because after the loss of the two samples mentioned 

above, the data were no longer balanced, limiting the effectiveness of fitting the model 

using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The validity of inferences drawn using the Bayesian 

model, in contrast, are not affected by the lack of balance. In addition, the Bayesian 

analysis provides a clear statistical interpretation with no need for approximation or use of 

asymptotic results. 

The factor box was not included in the model because no large box effect was seen 

in the exploratory plots and with data sampled from only three of five possible boxes, 

estimation of a variance component for this factor will be sensitive to prior assumptions. 

To avoid this situation in the future, NIST plans to sample all, or at least five, levels of the 

highest level factor in future SRM experiments. Fortunately in this case omission of 

random variation related to box does not look like it will cause any problems. 

To use the Bayesian model, shown in Appendix A on page A-44, prior assessments 

of the values of each parameter in the model must be provided. The prior assessment for 

each parameter is specified as probability distribution for the parameter’s unknown value. 

Because these probability distributions are specified independently of the data (i.e. before 

the data are observed or used), these distributions are commonly called prior distributions. 

For this analysis, non-informative prior distributions were used. These distributions are 

essentially very flat and have very large variances so that they will not provide any 

quantitative information on the values of the parameters as part of the model. In this case 

uniform distributions, with ranges from -1000 to 1000 for means and ranges of 0 to 1000 

for standard deviations, were used. Fitting the model with prior distributions with larger or 

smaller ranges confirmed that the results were not sensitive to the parameters chosen for 

the prior distributions. 

A probability distribution for each measurement, given with respect to the 

parameters in the model, is also specified. In this case the random errors associated with 

each factor were modeled as following a normal distribution. Then, based on the model 

and the observed data, the prior distributions for each parameter are updated using Bayes’ 

Theorem to obtain new distributions for each parameter given the information in the data. 

Finally, these new distributions, called posterior distributions, are used to obtain 

uncertainty intervals about each quantity of interest. 

The Bayesian model was fit using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation as 

implemented in the software package WinBUGS [13, 14]. Diagnostic plots (not included 

in this report) show that the Markov Chains had converged by the 5000th iteration of the 

simulation. Then 5000 additional iterations were run for each of 5 parallel Markov chains 

for model validation and to estimate the parameter values. Box plots made using R for 

model validation are shown in Appendix A on pages A-45 through A-53. These plots show 

the distributions of the posterior predictive residuals from the model for each data point. 

The facts that the means of these distributions are randomly scattered around a value of 
16 

zero and most distributions have considerable probability near zero support (but do not 

guarantee) the conclusion that this model provides a reasonable description of the data. 

Assuming that the hierarchical model does provide an adequate description of the 

measurement process, proposed certified values for each of the different rheological 

quantities were determined from the predictive distribution for a randomly selected unit. 

Use of the predictive distribution was chosen for this purpose because it accounts for 

uncertainty from any potential heterogeneity among units and thus is more robust than an 

assessment that assumes under certain conditions that the material is homogenous. The 

results are presented graphically on pages A-54 through A-62 of Appendix A. The shaded 

blue region under each distribution shown in blue indicates the 95 % probability intervals 

for each quantity. The corresponding values are given by the blue numbers just under the 

shaded regions. 

The empirically determined posterior predictive distributions are well approximated 

by shifted and scaled Student’s t distributions with varying degrees of freedom and 

standard uncertainties. These distributions are shown as dashed red lines on each of the 

plots on Appendix A, pages A-54 through A-62. 

The corresponding numerical results, which are the values proposed for use on the 

certificate, are given in Table 7.

6 Summary 

A new paste reference material was developed that consists of a mixture of two 

components, corn syrup and fine limestone that is a suspension. The uniqueness of this 

material is that it has the texture of the cement paste with a fine powder in a liquid. The 

user needs to prepare the mixture according to the proportions defined in the certificate and 

mix it using ASTM C1738. The certified values were determined using an extensive 

experimental design and statistical analysis. Inter-laboratory tests on different rheometers 

geometries would allow a better understanding of the usage of this material. In the future 

addition of fine and coarse aggregates could be used to develop an SRM for characterizing 

the performance of mortar and concrete rheometers.

Certificate of Analysis 

Standard Reference Material® 2492 

Bingham Paste Mixture for Rheological Measurements 

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in calibrating rheometers for measuring the rheological 

properties of cement and concrete. The SRM unit consists of 3 containers, one glass bottle with of corn syrup (500 g) and 2 

plastic jars of limestone powder (300 g each). 

Certified Values and Uncertainties: A NIST certified value is a value for which NIST has the highest confidence in its 

accuracy and that all known or suspected sources of bias have been investigated or accounted for by NIST. The certified 

values are given in Table 1 and are based on measurements made using a parallel serrated plate rheometer. The certified 

values are the mean of results from analyses performed at NIST by a single operator 

The expanded uncertainties of the certified values are consistent with the NIST uncertainty policy described in the NIST 

Technical Note 1297 [1], but were computed using a Bayesian statistical analysis described in the related report on the 

development of this SRM [2]. All expanded uncertainties are reported at the 95 % confidence level.

Expiration of Certification: The certification of SRM 2492 is valid, within the measurement uncertainties specified, until 

31 December 2022, provided the SRM is handled in accordance with the instructions given in this certificate (see 

“Instructions for Use”). This certification is nullified if the SRM is contaminated or otherwise modified. 

Maintenance of Certification: NIST will monitor representative samples from this SRM lot over the period of its 

certification. If substantive changes occur that affect the certification before the expiration date, NIST will notify the 

purchaser. Registration (see attached sheet) will facilitate notification

The preparation of the material and the coordination of the technical measurements leading to certification were performed 

by C. Ferraris of the NIST Materials and Construction Research Division. 

Statistical consultation on measurement design and analysis of the certification data was performed by W.F. Guthrie of the 

NIST Statistical Engineering Division. 

The support aspects involved in the issuance of this SRM were coordinated through the NIST Standard Reference Materials 

Program by M. P. Cronise of the NIST Measurement Services Division. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 

Stability and Use: The material can be stored at room temperature until the expiration date posted on page 1 of this 

certificate. Once the two components are mixed in the proportion and using the method described below the SRM needs to be 

used within 7 d. The SRM batch needs to be prepared by the operator before it can be used. To prepare the mixture, follow 

the instructions below. The mixture’s composition is: 

• Corn Syrup: 200 g 

• Distilled water: 63.16 g 

• Limestone: 458.1 g 

The mixing equipment and the method are described in ASTM C1738. Introduce the water and the corn syrup (in that order) 

into the blender, mix for 30 s and then proceed as described in ASTM C1738 to introduce the limestone. The water bath and 

the rheometer should be maintained at 23 °C. Store the mixture is a sealed plastic jar. It is recommended to use a plunger 

mixer to remix the prepared SRM before each use. Keep the SRM at 23 °C ± 2 °C. 

Material Selection and Packaging: The limestone was purchased in bulk and the corn syrup was purchased in 1 gal 

bottles. The packaging contains enough material to perform two batches of the SRM. It has one glass bottle labeled 

“Component 1 Corn Syrup” and two plastic containers labeled “Component 2 Limestone”. Each of the plastic containers has 

enough limestone for one batch while the glass bottle has enough corn syrup for two batches. 

Homogeneity Assessment and Certification Analyses: Certification analyses for Bingham parameters were performed at 

NIST on 12 randomly selected units of the SRM. The uncertainties reported for the certified values include allowances for 

random measurement variability, day-to-day variability, and potential material heterogeneity between units. Further details 

on the analysis of the data can be found in [2]. 

Information Values: None provided NIST information values are considered to be of interest to the SRM user, but are not 

certified because insufficient information is available to assess adequately the uncertainty associated with the values or only a 

limited number of analyses were performed.
