George Mattingly PhD

G E Mattingly received his PhD in Aerospace and Mechanical Sciences from Princeton University and then joined the Princeton faculty to teach fluid dynamics and hydraulics. After a sabbatical year in France, he accepted an offer from the National Bureau of Standards (NBS, later named the National Institute of Standards and Technology - NIST) where he led the Fluid Metrology Group for 25 years. In this position, he was responsible for the US national standards for the flow of water, hydrocarbon liquids, gas, airspeed, and liquid volume and density, and the dissemination of these standards via calibration services and proficiency testing programs for US industry, academia, and other government agencies. He retired from NIST in 2004. Through these years he served on the paper standards writing committees - both national (ASME) and international. Additionally, he served as an NVLAP Accreditor for flow measurements. At present, he is the Chairman of the Subcommittee writing the ASME paper standard on Flow Measurement Uncertainty. Currently, he is also an Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, and he is an engineering consultant to US and foreign companies and national standards institutions on flow measurement and measurement uncertainty topics.
