22. Certain commercial equipment, instruments, or materials are identified in this paper in order to specify the experimental procedure adequately. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor is it intended to imply that the materials or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
23. The uncertainties in the measured data are less than the sizes of the symbols used for their presentation or the observable point-to-point variations in their values, whichever is larger. Results which depend upon models for their interpretation have no specified uncertainties, because the theoretical models are approximations whose accuracy cannot be quantified.
