Scientific Apparatus Manufacturers Association

Scientific Apparatus Manufacturers Association (SAMA). The fossil-fuel electric utility industiy generally follows this standard. 

Accuracy and Repeatability Definitions of terminology pertaining to process measurements can be obtained from standard S5I.I from the International Society of Measurment and Control (ISA) and standard RC20-II from the Scientific Apparatus Manufacturers Association (SAMA), both of which are updated periodically. An appreciation of accuracy and repeatability is especially important. Some applications depend on the accuracy of the instrument, but other applications depend on repeatability. Excellent accuracy implies excellent repeatability however, an instrument can have poor accuracy but excellent repeatability. In some applications, this is acceptable, as discussed below. 

In addition to receiving the John R. Kuebler Award of Alpha Chi Sigma, Professor Bailar has also received the American Chemical Society Award in Chemical Education sponsored by the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association (1964), the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society (1964), the Francis P. Dwyer Medal of the Chemical Society of New South Wales (1965), the Alfred Werner Gold Medal of the Swiss Chemical Society (1966), and the Synthetic Chemical Manufacturers Association Award in the Teaching of Chemistry (1968), and has also received Honorary Membership in Phi Lambda Upsilon—the national honorary chemistry fraternity (1959).
