Calibration of polarimeters and saccharimeters

Project Description

PTB is prepared to take over the calibration of quartz control plates which are used as standards for calibrating the scales of polarimeters and saccharimeters. The calibration is based on the recommendations adopted by the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA) and on OIML Recommendation No.14.


Final Report 2019-10-31

Back in 1988, in one of the earliest traceability projects within EURAMET, PTB offered to perfom calibration of quartz control plates used for polarimeters and saccharimeters for NPL/UK.
The calibration is based on the recommendations adopted by the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA) and on OIML Recommendation No.14.
Although the traceability route continues and we foresee no further changes, the activity of transferring the calibrations from NPL to PTB has no further actions. Since this was the basis of the original EURAMET (at the time EUROMET) project, the project has effectively ended.
