CETIAT: a new dynamic calibration method more representative of usage for flowmeters and water meters.

CETIAT will present on Measurement World a new dynamic calibration method more representative of the use for flowmeters and water meters.

The practical use of flowmeters and water meters by users increasingly differs from the ideal conditions under which calibrations are performed in the laboratory. For example, most flowmeters are calibrated for static flow rates, that is, when the flow rate is stable and regulated at a constant value, whereas they are used to measure variable flow rates more or less quickly. In this case, the non-negligible response time of the flowmeter induces a measurement bias not estimated by current static calibration methods, but potentially impacting in the case of applications for which flow measurement is critical.

Aware of these issues, the CETIAT has developed and validated a new calibration method under dynamic conditions (flow fluctuations) representative of the real conditions experienced by flowmeters and water meters. This is a world first.

The CETIAT liquid flow measurement laboratory is the national reference of the domain (best level of uncertainty in France) for the calibration of flowmeters and water meters. In addition, the laboratory designs and develops its own calibration and test methods, either privately or as part of European and national research projects in metrology. This laboratory is COFRAC accredited in flexible scope (scopes available on www.cofrac.fr) in order to implement all methods as close as possible to your needs.

CETIAT will welcome you on the stand 2J89, on the metrology village of Measurement World

from September 6 to 9, 2021

The reconciliation at the same dates and place of GLOBAL INDUSTRY, MEASUREMENT WORLD and CIM2021 (International Congress of Metrology) offers decisive synergy opportunities.

These events all three tackle, with different orientations, the themes of Industry 4.0. Visitors, exhibitors, organizers and certain partners are common to the 3 events.
