Established by Congress in 1901, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has a long and distinguished history as the custodian and disseminator of the United States' standards of physical measurement.  Meer

This invaluable handbook presents important information on over 500 organic compounds that are used as solvents. Health hazards and safety guidelines are discussed, including the limiting values for airborne exposure, carcinogenicity status, and various official hazard ratings.  Meer

Basic Laboratory and Industrial Chemicals presents data on 1,000 high-profile chemical substances commonly used in the laboratory and workplace. A wide range of properties is provided for each compound, including the basic physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and critical temperatures; density; transition properties, such as vapor pressure and heats of vaporization and fusion; and the thermodynamic properties, viscosity, and thermal conductivity at 25°C.  Meer
