Laboratories

In the EMC lab we perform Immunity testing on various equipment, like weighing scales, energy and meters. Typical tests which are performed are:

• Radiated radio frequency electromagnetic fields up to 6 GHz;
• Current injection (conducted disturbances induced by radio-frequency fields);
• ESD/EFT-Burst/Surge/Voltage dips, interruptions et;
• Automotive testing for ISO763 and ISO16750.

In this lab electricity meters are examined, as well as power quality instruments and PMD’s. Typical tests are:

• Accuracy related tests;
• Influence quantities, for temperature, frequency, voltage, harmonics;
• Disturbances, like magnetic field fields, short-time overcurrents, 2-150 kHz disturbances;
• Safety related tests, like dielectric tests, IP testing, glowwire and heating tests.

The tests that are important in the Mobility industry that we provide are:

• Climatic tests on Speedmeters, breath analysers, taximeters;
• Extra large climate chamber for speed meters and ANPR testing;
• Vibration testing (for eg onboard vehicle equipment);
• In house testing with calibrated gas mixtures (breath analysers);
• Functional testing of non standard equipment.

In the Weighing lab various tests are performed on the equipment under test. Typical tests are:

• Climatic tests on loadcellls, Nawi’s, AWI’s, and multidimensionals and indicators;
• Static and dynamic weighing performance tests (also for Class 1 scales);
• Deadweight testing bench (up to 240 KN);
• Extra large climate chamber for filling machines and Multidimensinals and AWI’s;
• Vibration testing for vehicle mounted weighing systems;
• Durations testing of nawi’s (100.000 loads);
• Functional testing of non standard equipment.

In this laboratory gas meters are examined, for both residential and industrial applications. Typical tests are:

• Accuracy related tests, while using air and various other gases;
• Influence quantities, for temperature and pressure;
• Disturbances, like perturbation tests, acoustic noise interferences and contaminants tests;
• Tests related to the meters housing, like mishandling, vibration and shocks, connections, solar radiation;
• Durability and ageing testing.
