Analysis of ageing effects on static gas meters

Static gas meters are currently being installed in increasing quantities within gas distribution networks across Europe due to their up-to-date technology which intrinsically allows to comply with current requests from Normation and fiscal bodies; on the other hand, the technology on which such meters are based is still relatively new, therefore confidence in it must be built. In particular, for instance in Italy, regulation agencies require more frequent verification of static meters with r...

Calibration of atomic force microscope cantilevers based on μ-LDV: Metrological insight on the constitutive experimental parameters of Sader's formula for spring constant

Presentation of the new EPM 23RPT03 project “Metrology for standardised moisture/water content measurement in plant-origin bulk materials in support of International and European food safety and trade – GrainMet”

The EPM Project 23RPT03 GrainMet, aims to develop new measurement technologies, SI traceability paths and certified reference materials (CRMs) for plant origin bulk materials, and to transfer this knowledge to NMIs/DIs with emerging metrology systems. GrainMet intends to build capacity, infrastructure and engage with stakeholders in a coordinated fashion to deliver services at local level based on a common knowledge basis. In particular, GrainMet focuses on the development of a method for the...

Development of testing protocols for the measurement of pure and blended hydrogen in natural gas grids: An outlook from the THOTH2 project

Transporting or blending hydrogen (H2) into the existing gas infrastructure can be crucial in the European green transition. However, the regulation of this matter is still debated by interested stakeholders. The THOTH2 project aims to fill normative gaps by developing new protocols for assessing the limits and tolerances of state-of-the-art (SoA) instrumentation installed in natural gas (NG) transmission and distribution grids. This paper outlines the methodology used for selecting the devic...
