Educators agree that students need measuring sticks to calibrate their equipment and volumetric standards. U.S. Bureau of Standards reference standards are excellent but very expensive. Some commercial standards are satisfactory, but others are not. To give students reference standards of accuracy matching that of unknowns, Thorn Smith produces Student Reference Standards. Side-by-side analysis of these standards with Thorn Smith unknowns gives agreement of a few parts per ten thousand for many materials. Matching these accuracies provides a real challenge to even your best students.
