FEATURED VIDEO
Inside a 60-meter-long underground tunnel, measurement scientists check the accuracy of tape measures. The accuracy of a 60 m tape can be measured within about 0.1 millimeters, about the thickness of a piece of paper. NIST calibrates master tape measures for athletic associations, oil companies, crime scene investigators and others.
