Training course on
High-pressure measurement
and calibration
PTB, Braunschweig, Germany
September 18, 2014
Invitation
You are kindly invited to participate in the training course.
The training course
New high-pressure technologies require high pressures to be accurately measured and instruments used in the measurement to be calibrated. To meet the needs of the industry for reliable and traceable-high pressure measurements, a few European metrology institutes have joined the research project (JRP) “High pressure metrology for industrial applications”, HighPRES, under the European Metrology Research Programme, 
http://emrp-highpres.cmi.cz/. The objective of this training course is to promote the application of high-pressure technologies across Europe by giving theoretical and practical information on calibration and application of high-pressure measuring instruments. This training course is addressed to professionals who specialise in pressure calibrations and measurements typically realised from 100 MPa to 1 GPa and higher.
Training course venue
The training course will be held at PTB using pressure standards and other measurement facilities of the PTB Pressure Working Group.
Conditions
- Participation in the training course is free of charge. The costs of lunch and beverages during the training course are included.
- Since the number of participants is limited, the organising committee will decide who participates if the training course is overbooked.
