VSL develops a portable calibration system for ammonia
Dit systeem, genaamd TRACTOR (TRaceable Ammonia CalibraTOR), kan dynamisch ammoniak in de lucht genereren in sporenconcentraties, zowel onder droge als vochtige omstandigheden.

Given its higher volumetric energy density compared to hydrogen, ammonia is expected to play a significant role in long-term energy storage. To ensure a safe and fair rollout of ammonia as an energy carrier, it is essential to establish infrastructure for measuring quantity, quality, and emissions.
This project focuses on developing faster methods for hydrogen flow calibrations (using master meters), combining flow calibrations with sampling for quality measurements, creating test protocols for gas composition sensors, and investigating potential new impurities.
VSL Achieves Accreditation for LED Light Flicker Measurements under European Ecodesign Directives. The National Metrology Institute is now among the first institutes worldwide capable of calibrating and validating light sources against European ecodesign requirements for flicker.

Celebrating a Metrology Milestone: the 150 Anniversary of the Metre Convention
Developing new standards for calibration of spectroradiometric measuring instruments, with VSL focusing primarily on new sources and detector-based methods.
We’re proud to announce VSL has secured 13 new projects in the 2024 calls from the European Partnership on Metrology (EPM), and will coordinate 4 of them. This represents a remarkable 75% success rate for VSL’s proposals.
