Weston cell

This definition was later supplanted by one based on the Weston cell.

In laboratories, the Weston Cell is used as a standard voltage for precision work.

In 1905, Clark cells were supplanted as a voltage standard by the more temperature-independent Weston cell.

He performed experiments on the voltage of the Weston cell; these experiments lead to the modern definition of the volt.

If I had cadmium, I could make a Weston cell and calculate it that way, but I don't.

The Weston cell, is a wet-chemical cell that produces a highly stable voltage suitable as a laboratory standard for calibration of voltmeters.

Pioneer in early Solar Power - Weston cell - Edward Weston (chemist)

To ensure that a digital voltmeter's reading is within the manufacturer's specified tolerances, they should be periodically calibrated against a voltage standard such as the Weston cell.

The Weston cell has an anode composed of cadmium mercury amalgam, and a cathode composed of pure mercury.

When the Weston cell became the International Standard for EMF in 1911, Weston waived his patent rights.

The earliest voltage references or standards were wet-chemical cells such as the Clark cell and Weston cell, which are still used in some laboratory and calibration applications.

Other primary wet cells are the Leclanche cell, Grove cell, Bunsen cell, Chromic acid cell, Clark cell, and Weston cell.

Dr. Frank Alfred Wolff (1873-1946), NBS Researcher and 1st Chair of the Washington AIEE Section contributed significant research to the studies of the Weston Cell.

Kelvin-Varley dividers are therefore usually applied in conjunction with a null detector to compare their output voltage against a known voltage standard, e.g. a Weston cell (which must also be used without drawing current from it).

Edward Weston (May 9, 1850 - August 20, 1936) was an English-born American chemist noted for his achievements in electroplating and his development of the electrochemical cell, named the Weston cell, for the voltage standard.
