Research – metrology, a science in perpetual motion
Measures such as the meter, the kilogram, the second, the ampere, the kelvin, the mole and the candela are all units that were defined by the International System of Units (SI) from the end of the 18th century and were at that time based on physical items. The value of a kilo had been represented since 1889 by a standard forged from an alloy of platinum and iridium.
Over time, these physical standards were replaced by fundamental mathematical constants to ensure their reliability, especially when researching infinitely small particles for example (such as nanoparticles).
These developments were a real revolution for metrology in its continuous search for consistency.
This is precisely why Trescal has forged close ties with major European projects such as the European Metrology Program for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) and partnerships with national laboratories such as the Danish National Institute of Metrology for which it is the national reference national laboratory for alternating current/radiofrequency.
In addition to this support for research, Trescal invests 12.5 million euros each year into developing its laboratories, its standards and its technical means and into implementing new technical and IT processes.
Standardisation
Assets management
Automation
Trescal contributes to the development of the metrology standards in force by actively participating in working groups and to the development of innovative tools for implementing these standards.
Examples :
Trescal is developing methodologies and tools to optimize the calibration equipment and process management.
Examples :
- Implementation and management of the Trescal Master Library database to make processing client requests easier.
- Development of the OiCM methodology (“Optimisation of metrological confirmation intervals”).
- Creation of ADVESO, measurement asset management software
- Support for implementing ISO 10012.
Trescal is developing systems for its own needs to automate calibration operations.
Examples :
- “Trescal Lab Manager” asset management and calibration assistance software.
- Development of test strips and special robots.
- Adaptation of third-party software (METCAL®).
