Evaluation of Long-Term Stability of High-Precision Standard for Low-Frequency Voltage Measurement

The National measuring standards ensure the quality of measurements in different areas of science and technology. The actual errors of standards are not the only necessary characteristics to be determined. The long-term stability of the corrections also should be evaluated to guarantee the uncertainty of measurement is within the specified margin and, as a consequence, the metrological traceability is established. This paper mainly concerns the stability evaluation of the top-level standard for metrology service in low-frequency voltage measurement. The AC-DC transfer difference of high-precision voltage converter has been determined for almost 20 years. The measurements performed gave an opportunity to compare the deviations detected with the relevant combined uncertainties. The long-term stability estimate was within 20 μV/V for the frequency of 1 MHz.

The Wireless EMF Monitoring in Sensitive Areas around Kindergartens and Schools

The appearance of modern electromagnetic field (EMF) monitoring networks, such as the Serbian EMF RATEL network, has enabled wireless observation of EMF level in various surroundings, particularly in areas where people experience increased sensitivity to EMF exposure. Such areas are residential locations, where persons can reside many hours per day, kindergartens, schools, hospitals and children’s playgrounds. They demand daily, comprehensive EMF monitoring, compliance checking with prescribed reference levels, as well as transparent dissemination of acquired results. This paper presents an analysis of EMF monitoring in sensitive areas on a case study of two kindergartens and an elementary school in the Serbian city of Novi Sad.

The development and tests of a preamplifier for the spectrum analyzer adopted for noise measurements in quantum Hall standard

This paper describes setups for measuring noise in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 100 MHz of semiconductor structures made of new Diracmaterials - 2D-COF/MOF intended for the construction of QHRS quantum standards. The main emphasis was placed on the preamplifiers. The first design gives solution with equivalent input noise value of about 1 nV/√𝑯𝒛 at 100 kHz and 400 V/V amplification, second - improves the spectrum analyzer's noise figure (NF) from 7 dB to 0.64 dB

Accurate Frequency and Damping Factor Estimation by Means of an Improved Three-point Interpolated DFT Algorithm

In this paper an algorithm for frequency and damping factor estimation of a real-valued noisy damped sinusoid is proposed. It is an extension of the three-point Interpolated Discrete Fourier Transform (3p-IpDFT) undamped sinusoid frequency estimator based on Maximum Sidelobe Decay (MSD) windows. Analytical expressions for the frequency and the damping factor estimators are provided and the related estimation errors due to the contribution of the spectral image component are derived and compensated. The accuracies of the proposed algorithm and other stateof-the-art frequency-domain based algorithms are compared to each other through computer simulations

Evaluation of the long-term drift of measuring instruments and standards using time series

Drift is an undesirable property of all measuring instruments and standards during their life cycle. The analysis of instrumental drift of measuring instruments and standards is important in metrology. Reliable accounting for drift plays an important role in maintaining measurement accuracy. For resistance, capacitance and inductance standards long-term drift is predictable. The analysis of drift types and the main methods of its evaluation for measuring instruments between its calibrations has been carried out. The results of evaluation of the long-term drift of inductance and capacitance standards for highprecision calibration of measuring instruments using a polynomial regression and an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average charts are presented.

Performance evaluation test of Coriolis flow meters for hydrogen metering at high pressure

This paper describes the results of performance evaluation of Coriolis flow meters from various manufacturers in high-pressure hydrogen actual flow using a calibration system with critical flow Venturi nozzles as a reference. The calibration system consisting of five nozzles was developed to calibrate the flowmeters by high-pressure, high-flow-rate hydrogen gas. The performance evaluation test of the Coriolis flowmeters wasconducted at maximum pressure of 70 MPa, gas temperature of 0 °C and -40 °C, and flow rate range from 0.5 kg/min to 3.0 kg/min. It was confirmed that the instrumental error of most of the DUTs tested in this paper was within ± 2.0 %, although the instrumental error tended to be slightly larger at -40 °C in the small flow rate range.

Repeatability of the master meter method in calibrating compressed hydrogen dispenser

Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important development direction of clean energy vehicles, which has the characteristics of zero pollution and renewability. As a key role in the commercial operation of hydrogen energy vehicles, the accuracy of the hydrogen filling quantity directly affects trade fairness and market promotion. The master meter method is generally used for the flow calibration of the existing compressed hydrogen dispenser, tin other words, high-precision Coriolis mass flowmeter is connected in series to the hydrogen filling pipeline on site, and the calibration is completed in the actual hydrogen filling process. In practice, it was found that compared with CNG, the compressed hydrogen filling process was added with a pre-charging and pressure maintaining procedure. If the model of the master meter and flowmeter in the compressed hydrogen filling dispenser to be calibrated are different, the repeatability of the calibration result will be poor. It is preliminarily concluded by experiments and analysis that the error is caused by the response of Coriolis mass flowmeter of different types to the single pulse flow during pre-charging and pressure maintaining procedure, which affects the repeatability of calibration of master meter method. Finally, it is suggested that the mass accumulated in the stage of the pre-charging pressure maintaining should not be included in the error calculation when the master meter method is used to calibrate compressed hydrogen dispenser.

Transferability of calibration results obtained with conventional gases for application with hydrogen

In the field of gas transport, the de-carbonisation of the energy supply is forcing the exchange of natural gas with hydrogen, either in mixtures or even pure hydrogen. Therefore, there is an increasing need to have reliable information about the behaviour of existing metering technologies with such hydrogen enriched gases or pure hydrogen. On the other hand, the availability of testing and calibration infrastructures for hydrogen has been very limited so far. A fast approach to close this gap is the usage of scaling procedures to transfer the calibration results gathered at facilities with conventional gases to field applications with hydrogen.The paper will introduce the scaling models applied at PTB for turbine gas meters (TM), rotary piston gas meters (RM) and differential pressure meters (DPM) to ensure transferability of calibration results obtained mainly with air and natural gas, and occasionally with nitrogen or water. All applied models are based on the Reynolds number as the dominant scaling parameter and include extensions to describe secondary effects if necessary.

Measurement uncertainty tool for HRS dispensers

Verifications of hydrogen refuelling stations have shown that variations in the station design and operation can greatly influence accuracy at the dispenser, and there are sources of error unrelated to the flow meter which if uncorrected make it difficult to achieve the accuracy requirements of OIML R-139. To improve dissemination of knowledge in this area, an interactive measurement uncertainty tool has been developed which allows the user to specify a range of different station configurations and filling scenarios to estimate the resulting errors at the dispenser. This is intended to serve as a basis for HRS manufacturers to improve HRS designs with respect to billing accuracy and to assist notified bodies in understanding uncertainty contributions from an HRS and the corrections required. This paper describes the initial version of the HRS uncertainty tool, explaining the inputs required from the user, the sources of measurement uncertainty considered, how the flow meter behaviour is modelled, and which calculations are implemented.
