National Physical Laboratory of India is realized by using an absolute radiometer. For practical work, a group of tungsten incandescent lamps are used. The level of uncertainty is ± 1.3 × 10. Experimental work has been initiated to realize mole, the SI unit for amount of substance The NPL does not maintain standards of measurements for ionizing radiations. This is the responsibility of the Homi Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. The standards maintained at NPL are periodically compared with standards maintained at other National Metrological Institutes in the world as well as the BIPM in Paris. This exercise ensures that Indian national standards are equivalent
Mass flow rate Mass flow rate In physics and engineering, mass flow rate is the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time. Its unit is kilogram per second in SI units, and slug per second or pound per second in US customary units. The common symbol is formula_1 (ṁ, pronounced "m-dot"), although sometimes "μ" (Greek lowercase mu) is used. Sometimes, mass flow rate is termed "mass flux" or "mass current", see for example "Fluid Mechanics, Schaum's et al". In this article, the (more intuitive) definition is used. Mass flow rate is defined by the limit: The reason for the dot
