Pressure measurement is crucial across many applications. For example, an aircraft's altitude is determined by monitoring air pressure, making it essential that the instruments used are accurately and traceably calibrated to ensure safety. Similarly, when filling glass bottles, controlling the pressure is vital to avoid the risk of explosions. Accurate pressure measurements are also key in consumer products. For instance, potato chip bags are filled with nitrogen at a carefully controlled pressure to maintain the crisps' texture while preventing the bags from rupturing.
Geocore offers a wide range of pressure measurement services to clients in sectors such as process engineering, healthcare, oil and gas, as well as analytical and chemical laboratories. We also provide calibration services for accredited institutions using pressure balances and gauges. Our primary pressure standard is based on a pressure balance featuring a piston-cylinder combination (PCC) with a precisely known effective area that is directly traceable to Dutch mass, length, and time standards. This primary standard is then used to determine the effective areas of other PCCs across a broad sensitivity range—from 5 kPa/kg to 5 MPa/kg—using the cross-float method.
We collaborate with manufacturers and end users, offering expert advice to help refine measurement and inspection practices, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of their processes and products.
Accurate pressure readings are vital for ensuring both quality and safety across various production processes. With the increasing automation of these processes, the need for dependable and precise pressure measurements has become more critical than ever. Geocore specializes in calibrating and adjusting pressure measurement instruments with exceptionally low uncertainty, accommodating absolute, relative, and differential pressure readings. In our calibration procedures, we carefully account for factors such as temperature variations and gravitational influences that could affect the measurements. Our results are fully traceable to primary standards and meet both Dutch and internationally recognized measurement benchmarks.
Accredited laboratories that use Geocore-calibrated instruments have robust evidence of quality, giving them a significant advantage when engaging with external clients and partners.
