Sensor Coating Systems and National Physical Laboratory commence collaboration under Innovate UK to improve temperature measurements

摘要

The funding was provided through the Government's modern industrial strategy by Innovate UK,part of UK Research and Innovation.The aim is the development of a new standard light source to enhance thermal measurements based on temperature memory materials.This will be beneficial to enable improved measurements on gas turbine parts for power generation,jet engines or for automotive parts.Consequently,this will improve cost efficiency and lower emissions.This short-term project runs under the A4I scheme of Innovate UK.This allows small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs)to ink up with large UK research institutes such as the National Physical Laboratories to collaboratively work on measurement challenges.The project will address a measurement challenge identified by SCS during the development of its thermal history technology.The combined resources of SCS and NPL will allow development of a standard Thermal History Technology aimed at reducing uncertainty and improve repeatability.The advances will enable the technology to be used globally with improved results.
