Brachytherapy is an effective treatment option for many types of cancer. A newer variant, electronic brachytherapy (eBT), is increasingly used – but without a formal and traceable method to determine radiation dose.
FutureEnergy was a fruitful collaboration between metrology institutes and organisations in eight European countries and was set up to support the future-proof development of energy transmission networks.
The SuperGPS-project has been nominated for a Computable Award 2023, in the Partner project category.
World Metrology Day 2023 Celebrates the Importance of Measurements in the Global Food System
International symposium ‘Renewable energy gases in the changing world of natural gas’ on 19th June in the Netherlands
For decades gaseous mercury concentration measurements have been calibrated based on mercury vapour pressure equations (e.g., the Dumarey or the Huber equation). Currently these equations differ from each other by more than 7 % at 20 °C and this discrepancy is of great concern as it hampers comparable and reliable measurement results for mercury concentrations in the atmosphere and emissions sources.
National Metrology Institute VSL today opened its new European Center for Flow Measurement (ECFM) at the Rotterdam Maasvlakte.
This year, February 11th marks the 8th International Day of Women and Girls in Science. At VSL, we acknowledge and support the great importance of having women in scientific positions.
A new milestone for the European Center for Flow Measurement: on the 1st of February we took delivery of the first flowmeter for calibration in our new waterflow installation located on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam.
VSL is organising an international Interlaboratory Comparison (ILC) for the calibration of a multifunctional calibrator. Registration is now open for participants.
