Workshop to address the challenge of accurate high temperature measurements
14 April 2005 - 15 April 2005
Germany
The concept of novel high temperature fixed-points will be introduced. These if used innovatively could address many of the current high temperature measurement challenges.
Current and future demand for improved traceable high-temperature measurements above 1100 °C have stimulated the development of novel high-temperature fixed-points that are both practical and accurate.
In the European Union this research is coordinated within the EU funded project "Novel high-temperature metal-carbon eutectic fixed-points for radiation thermometry, radiometry, and thermocouples" (acronym HIMERT). Partners in this project are the NPL, BNM-INM, BNM-LNE, PTB, the University of Valladolid, and industrial companies Thermocoax and Land Instruments.
This workshop brings together the high temperature measurement community (researchers, industrialists and equipment suppliers).
The aims of the workshop are:,i) To present the results of the HIMERT research programme to the high temperature measurement community. ,ii) To provide an informal forum to discuss the temperature measurement challenges facing industrialists and scientists above 1100 °C,iii) To identify where high temperature fixed-points might address these challenges (eg.s high temperature thermo-couple drift or process control through contaminated windows).,The workshop is scheduled for one and a half days. In a first session, experts from the HIMERT consortium will give an over-view of the results from the project in the contact and non-contact thermometry fields. In a second session, industrialists will give a survey of today's high temperature measurement challenges. These two sessions will be held on the first day. In addition a poster session will present overviews of the main results of the HIMERT project. ,The following day, round table and panel discussions with developers and users of high temperature fixed-points will be held. These will focus on the use and dissemination of these fixed-points in industrial and scientific applications.
