High Pressure Workshop

 

Workshop on

High-Pressure Metrology for Industrial Applications

PTB, Braunschweig, Germany

September 17, 2014

The Workshop

New high-pressure technologies such as autofrettage, hydroforming and isostatic pressing are being widely developed and used in the automotive industry, in diesel engineering, in vessel production for the petrochemical and pharmaceutical industry, in the manufacturing of water-jet cutting machines, in new material fabrication and, recently, for food sterilisation. With these new technologies, the quality and the lifetime of products and the efficiency of processes can be increased, material and energy resources can be saved, and the emission of pollutants can be reduced. To meet the needs of these industries 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, Opens external link in new windowhttp://emrp-highpres.cmi.cz/. The objective of this workshop is to exchange new ideas within the metrological and industrial communities in order to promote the application of high-pressure technologies which are typically realised at pressures from 100 MPa to 2.5 GPa across Europe.

Organisation of the workshop

  • The workshop language will be English.
  • Only oral contributions will be possible.
  • There will be no parallel sessions.
  • Since the number of participants is limited, the scientific committee will decide who participates if the workshop is overbooked – early registration is much recommended.
  • Participation in the workshop is free of charge.
  • The costs of lunch and beverages during the workshop are included.
  • An optional dinner after the workshop will be offered. Its costs are not included and have to be borne individually.
  • Full papers will be published either in the Opens external link in new windowPTB-Mitteilungen, or as a Opens external link in new windowPTB-Bericht. - new -

Training course on high-pressure measurement and calibration

The follow-up training course on measurements and calibrations typical of the pressure range 10 MPa to 1.5 GPa is planned as a separate event with details presented at Opens external link in new windowwww.highpres-training.ptb.de.
