Metrology — the science of measurements and methods of ensuring their uniformity
Metrology is the science of measurements, the methods and tools for ensuring their uniformity, and the ways to achieve the required accuracy.
It encompasses various types of measurements (linear dimensions, mass, volume, etc.) and also explains the ratios and relations between units used in different countries.
Metrology relies on high-precision physical experiments, uses advances in physics, chemistry, and other natural sciences, and establishes its own laws and principles that enable the quantitative expression of the properties of material objects.
Scientific Development
The signing of the International Metric Convention on May 20, 1975, and the establishment of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures at the intergovernmental level played a significant role in the development of metrology.
The general theory of measurements and the evaluation of their validity (Theoretical Metrology) is continuously developing. It includes measurement processes and their elements: measurable quantities, their units, measurement tools and methods, measurement conditions, and the analysis and study of measurement results, as well as the data and generalizations obtained.
With the development of science, there was a transition from the random selection of units and quantities to the creation of systems of units. Metrology studies the principles of building systems of physical quantities and their units, as well as the theoretical aspects of precise unit systems.
Today, the International System of Units (SI), officially adopted by more than one hundred countries, is widely used. Theoretical metrology is devoted to methods for evaluating measurement accuracy (measurement errors) and uncertainty. Probability theory, mathematical statistics, and other branches of mathematics are widely applied.
To achieve measurement uniformity, all measuring instruments used must be correctly calibrated and periodically verified or calibrated. For this purpose, standards of measurement units — special technical devices with high stability and precision — are used to reproduce units and transfer them to other measuring instruments.
About the 'Scientific Center of Metrology'
The 'Scientific Center of Metrology' has been operating since 2010.
The metrology laboratory is a specialized scientific and technical department whose activities are aimed at creating the necessary conditions for accurate and reliable measurements and monitoring the condition of measuring instruments used in various fields of human activity.
Our organization provides qualified metrological services to the public, enterprises, and organizations, including:
- high-quality repair of various types and models of gas meters; - verification and certification of household and industrial gas meters; - calibration and certification of gas meters; - calculation and approval of flow-restricting devices (diaphragms); - manufacturing and certification of flow-restricting devices (diaphragms); - attestation and certification of gas flow measurement devices; - provision of software;
Our Products
GRP – Gas Regulation Points
GRP is an integral part of the gas supply system, ensuring the smooth and safe transition of gas from high pressure to low or medium pressure. These points have the functions of controlling the gas flow, reducing pressure, filtering and automatic control. GRPs are manufactured in various sizes and capacities and are adapted to industrial enterprises, public utilities, apartment buildings and large facilities. They guarantee energy efficiency, safety and stable operation. GRPs are assembled using modern technologies and meet national and international standards.
