Volume calibration

NWML has the capability to calibrate vessels from micro-pipettes dispensing a few microlitres to proving tanks which are large volumetric standards with capacities of several thousand litres.

UKAS accreditation is held for the gravimetric (inferring the volume from the weight of a liquid discharged or contained) calibration of metal measures, both content and delivery over the range 1 to 500 litres with a best measurement capability of 0.008% of volume.

The UKAS accredited calibration for glassware covers 1 ml to 20 litres.

NWML has the capability to calibrate volumetrically, by discharge of a transfer liquid from a delivery vessel content vessels, ranging from small laboratory glassware to large proving tanks containing thousands of litres. Calibration of large vessels is usually carried out in-situ.
