This JRP aims not only establishing and disseminating SI traceability to measurements of moisture in solids but also a coherent and developed moisture metrology infrastructure in Europe. This will be achieved by:
- Developing unambiguous realisation methods, new primary standards, new/adapted CRMs and novel transfer standard instruments
- Improving the coulometric Karl Fischer titration based realisation
- Developing methods for quantifying and reducing the effect of moisture change during transporting and handling
- Developing a novel calibration facility for surface moisture meters
- Developing modelling for uncertainty estimations, and analysis tools
UME contributes to this project is given below;
- Determination of unceratinty components for gravimetric SI moisture unit realisation and prepare a journal or conference paper on uncertainty estimation tools
- Design and tests of a calibration system for sensors measuring surface moisture in plastic/paper elements,
- Report on uncertainty evaluations for moisture measurements in paper.
- New/improved calibration, sampling and measurement services in moisture metrology.
