Abstract

A new facility is being constructed for the Primary Standards Laboratory at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Features of the final design were developed over a number of years of study and design effort. Based on experience and evaluation of anticipated needs, a philosophy was established for the design and maintained throughout the effort. Temperature control of ±0.01°C is required for some of the dimensional measuring spaces; isolation from vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI) are required for all measurement spaces. The requirements for the facility and the principal design features are presented
