2010-07-14 Daniel Bos VSL VSL is the national metrology institute in the Netherlands.

VSL realizes and maintains the full range of the current International Temperature Scale (ITS-90) from -273 °C to +3000 °C, through primary standards based on highly-reproducible phase transitions of ultra-high purity materials (temperature fixed-points). At VSL the clients’ thermometers are calibrated by direct comparison with the primary standards or by comparison with thermometers directly traceable to the primary standards.
In order to supply our customers in their needs VSL develops new techniques and standards for temperature measurements resulting in better capabilities and uncertainties. Examples of latest developments are the two-colour-pyrometer and DTS, which are unique techniques usable in specific industrial fields.
2010-07-13 Juraj Ranostaj Slovak Institute of Metrology (SMU) Temperature laboratory of the SMU is fully equipped for realization of the temperature scale in the high temperature range (on the basis of the blackbodies and by using radiometric means) and also for high-precision temperature measurements in the contact and non-contact area. Laboratory has long term experience with calibration of various types of contact and non-contact high temperature sensors for industry (thermocouples, radiation thermometers,...). Calibration services provided by laboratory are covered by quality system. Experts from laboratory participate on the activities of the thermometry technical committee of EURAMET and COOMET and also on the CIPM Consultative Committee for Thermometry (CCT). Technical equipment, experience of the staff and possibility of cooperation with university and industrial partners enable SMU thermometry laboratory to be a valuable JRP participant.
2010-07-12 Klaus Anhalt Physikalisch- Technische Bundesanstalt PTB is the national metrology institute of Germany and has unique
capabilities in non-contact temperature measurement from -170 °C up to
3200 °C (iMERA special facility PriTeRa) and in absolute detector
radiometry. PTB has experience in the construction and/or
investigation of metal-carbon high-temperature fixed-points (HTFPs)
such as Fe-C, Ni-C, Co-C, Pd-C, Pt-C, Ru-C, Re-C, TiC-C and ZrC-C for
applications in radiation thermometry and radiometry and succesfully
introduced HTFPs to differential scanning calorimetry /differential
thermal analysis (DSC/DTA) for temperatures upto 2000°C.

PTB´s facilities include four high-temperature blackbody furnaces
(with cavity diameters of up to 58 mm) for temperatures up to 3200 °C
and an Au fixed point blackbody, for primary ITS-90 realization,
several high-performance radiation thermometers and Si and InGaAs
based thermal imaging systems. We have experimental set-ups for the
characterisation of radiation thermometers (spectral responsivity,
non-linearity, SSE). PTB is establishing new facilities for the
measurement of spectral emissivity above 1000 °C.
