The importance of chemical metrology is increasing both nationally and internationally in areas such as food safety, environmental quality, climate change, and public health. Chemical measurements constitute more than 60% of the total measurements conducted daily worldwide. Accredited Reference Materials (CRMs) are considered the cornerstone to ensure the accuracy of measurements, as measurement results are standardized to the International System of Units (SI). Chemical metrology management prepares and characterizes organic, gas, and electrical reference materials according to relevant international standards and supplies them to local and regional markets.
The gas measurements laboratory specializes in producing reference materials for carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and natural gas, according to approved international standards. Measurement results of these gas concentrations are standardized to the International System of Units (SI) and are provided to the market in cylinders filled with gas-nitrogen mixtures at various concentrations, accompanied by certificates. These reference materials are used for calibrating environmental pollutant monitoring devices, automotive emissions measurements, and gas chromatography instruments. Additionally, the laboratory conducts analyses of cylinders containing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and natural gas, accurately determining their concentrations. The laboratory boasts advanced calibration and measurement capabilities, ensuring accuracy and consistency in the resultsm, as follows:
