World Congress IMEKO represents the summit of leading researchers and practitioners who deal with measurement technology in various fields. The motto of the XXI Congress is therefore “Measurement in Research and Industry”.
The following EMRP projects will be presenting at the congress:
- Traceable dynamic measurement of mechanical quantities (IND09 Dynamic) will improve safety by establishing traceable dynamic measurements for force, torque and pressure and precise dynamic mechanical test signals.
- Metrology of small structures for the manufacturing of electronic and optical devices (IND17 Scatterometry) will provide a scatterometry reference standard, also suitable for testing AFM and SEM devices that will add traceability to scatterometric measurements and make them comparable to microscopic method.
- Traceability for computationally-intensive metrology (NEW06 TraCIIM) will use mathematics, numerical analysis and state of the art computer technology to validate software and develop new technologies to deliver traceability to measurements requiring intensive computing.
- Metrology for movement and positioning in six degrees of freedom (IND58 6DoF) will develop measurement instruments to support traceable six degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement. 6DoF refers to the ability of an object to move freely in three-dimensional space.
- Multi-sensor metrology for microparts in innovative industrial products (IND59 Microparts) will develop 3D measurements of microparts to verify them, ensuring they function correctly in industrial applications.
- Traceable in-process dimensional measurement (IND62 TIM) will develop a test chamber to verify the measurement performance of machine tools, resulting in improved product quality control and productivity.
- Metrology for airborne molecular contamination in manufacturing environments (IND63 MetAMC) will use state-of-the-art techniques for practical airborne molecular contamination monitoring to develop portable ultra-sensitive monitoring equipment for use in manufacturing environment.
- Metrology for thermal protection materials (SIB52 Thermo) will establish a framework for measurements of thermal conductivity in order to improve industrial measurement techniques up to 800 °C.
- Automated impedance metrology extending the quantum toolbox for electricity (SIB53 AIM QuTE) will improve impedance metrology at the lowest uncertainties by making the transition from measurements performed at predefined values and relative phase angles.
- Metrology for long distance surveying (SIB60 Surveying) will develop traceable verification techniques to benefit cutting-edge industrial electronics that operate in the radio frequency, microwave and millimetrewave.
- Force traceability within the meganewton range (SIB63 Force) will extend the range of primary force standards up to at least 30 MN with a target uncertainty of 0.05 %. It will also improve transfer standards to help reliably disseminate the unit of force and improve force measurements in industry.
- Metrology for moisture in materials (SIB64 METefnet) will reduce ambiguity in current moisture measurements, helping science and industry measure moisture more accurately. Maintaining correct moisture levels in products such as foods and pharmaceuticals is vital to ensure quality and reduce waste. Moisture is a key parameter in trade of biomass.
- Measurement tools for Smart Grid stability and quality (ENG52 SmartGrid II) will develop techniques that will lead to new grid management methods to help design, control and stabilise Smart Grids. This will ensure a reliable, stable, high-quality energy supply from renewable-based generation.
- Sensor network metrology for the determination of electrical grid characteristics (ENG63 GridSens) will develop techniques to enhance the capabilities of sensor networks. Reliable uncertainties will be assigned to real network parameters, estimates made to fill in missing information and new algorithms for optimal sensor placement will be validated by demonstrating them on model smart grids.
- Metrology for essential climate variables (ENV58 MeteoMet2) will investigate the performance of sensors used to monitor climate variables under different conditions and produce new measurement methods, techniques and standards.
