DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7105677· OSTI ID:7105677
A research project was conducted in order to determine how accurately the unit of energy (kilowatt hour) is maintained in the electric utility laboratories, and to investigate methods of improving the transfer of the unit of energy. The establishment of a testing facility and the evaluation of energy transfer standards are discussed. Recommendations are given for the performing of inter-laboratory tests (round-robins) and the use of special containers for shipping standards by commercial airlines.
