NIST VTM Training, Hosted by the State of Illinois

The event was hosted by the State of Illinois at the State Fairgrounds in Springfield, where Doug Rathbun and Steve Carter are based. NIST instructors Tina Butcher, Scott Simmons, and John McGuire led the training, which took place from June 23–27. They had 21 attendees from across the central weights and measures region. This was the first in-person VTM and Loading Rack training offered by NIST since 2019. The course included four days of classroom instruction and one day of field demonstrations. Participants observed Vehicle Tank Meter inspections and testing, as well as a Loading Rack inspection and testing at a nearby Growmark facility.
