Large quantities of liquids and gases such as oil, natural gas, water, hydrogen and emissions are produced, transported and distributed across the world every day. Gas and liquid meters (or flow meters) are needed for billing purposes. We often measure both quantity and quality (calorific value, or the amount of pollutants). A measurement error of just 0.1% can cost large oil and gas pipelines millions of euros every year. As such, reliable measurements that are traceable to international standards are crucial for owners and operators. Other industries that attach great importance to calibrations of liquid and gas measurements are the process and chemical industries as well as power stations.
Based on our extensive knowledge and experience, Geocore has an excellent international reputation in the oil and gas sectors. We provide various flow and liquid volume measurement services for a wide range of parties around the world, including measurement equipment suppliers, utility companies, oil and gas producers, and gas transport and distribution companies. At European level, we are working on several research projects, including with regard to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Our experts also participate in international working groups, including the BIPM Working Group on Fluid Flow and EURAMET TC-Flow for harmonisation across Europe. Geocore realises the Dutch measurement standards for flow based on the quantities mass, length, density and time. In our liquid and gas laboratory, we regularly compare the standards with those of other national metrology institutes. This ensures international recognition. We determine liquid mass and density for liquid volume measures, which are traceable to national mass and density standards.
Dimensional metrology supports the manufacturing industry with reliable measurements that result in better quality control and, ultimately, a lower rejection rate. Our measurement facilities, such as CMM, AFM, laser interferometry for calibration of 3D reference objects, high-accuracy rulers and nano-standards, enable us to be of service to the mechatronics, high-tech and advanced manufacturing sectors.
Geocore's dimensional metrology department participates in European research linked to major social themes, such as health, renewable energy and digitisation. By partnering with international experts, we contribute to the latest developments in dimensional metrology and create even more accurate measuring instruments, such as scatterometry for semicon and flow cytometry for biomedical applications.
We support and advise manufacturers and end users with regard to questions, enabling them to improve measurement and inspection methods to optimise the quality of their processes and products.
