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 (GET 172-2008).
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 (GET 207-2013).
Activities
The institute creates, investigates and improves state primary standards, explores new physical effects.
SNIIM improves measuring methods, sets the values of fundamental physical constants, it is engaged in determining the parameters of the Earth's rotation etc.
Products
SNIIM produces various measuring instruments: UKDP-1 (installation for measuring the complex dielectric constant), SIM-4 analyzer (device for measuring the mass fraction of water as a percentage in oil products), IMV (device for measuring the magnetic susceptibility of dia-, para-, and weakly magnetic substances and materials in solid, liquid, and powder states) etc.
