Advancement of air temperature metrology capabilities

Air temperature measurements hold pivotal importance across various fields such as energy storage, manufacturing and climate studies. Despite their importance, air temperature measurements are presumed to have reached their accuracy limits and there are currently no standardised guidelines for conducting air temperature measurements, leading to disparities in calibration capabilities among metrological laboratories. This project will aim to develop metrology capability in air temperature measurements, enabling the creation of new CMCs in laboratories that currently lack them, while also contributing to the enhancement of CMCs in laboratories already possessing them. Guidelines on accurate measurement and calibration practices and determining the components of uncertainty budgets will be produced.
