Siberian Scientific Research Institute of Metrology


Siberian Scientific Research Institute of Metrology is a scientific organization in Zheleznodorozhny District of Novosibirsk, Russia. It was created in 1944.

History

The institute was created in 1944 on the basis of evacuated laboratories of the Kharkov, Leningrad and Moscow institutes of metrology. The organization was called the Novosibirsk State Institute of Measures and Measuring Instruments.
In 1955, a metrological base was created at the institute, which became the second metrological base of the USSR.
In 1968, Novosibirsk State Institute of Measures and Measuring Instruments was renamed Siberian Scientific Research Institute of Metrology.
In 1988, a 12-story laboratory building of doubles of state standards was built.
In 1993, the institute received the status of the State Scientific Metrological Center.
In 2008, SNIIM creates the State primary standard for the unit of surface density of heat flux.
In 2013, the Institute develops the State primary standard for the unit of angle of phase shift between two electrical signals in the frequency range from 0.1 MHz to 65 GHz.

Activities
