Information

NPL's miniature Controlled Release Facility (mini-CRF) provides a system to test compliance of Optical Gas Imaging cameras to the OOOOa standard. It contains an array of Mass Flow Controllers (MFCs) that control the flow of gas from cylinders of propane and methane and a balance gas of air or nitrogen. These are used to achieve the required test gas mix by dynamic dilution, following guidance in BS EN ISO 6145-7:2010. In addition to the mini-CRF, NPL can also provide other controlled sources of emissions for testing and training purposes. This includes the larger CRF facility for fugitive emissions system validation and the leak simulation facility that can generate controlled gas leaks from a wide range of realistic sources, including pipe flanges.
National Physical LaboratoryNational Physical Laboratory - Virtual locationProviding confidence in every aspect of environmental monitoring NPL are the National Measurement Laboratory for the UK and have 800 scientists and 400 laboratories across all science disciplines. Environmental monitoring expertise has been developed by NPL over many years and is a critical aspect of the support we deliver nationally and internationally. We ensure our customers are able to monitor gas emissions reliably and comply with evolving environmental regulations. Our high quality, cost-effective pollution monitoring and analysis services are delivered using unique environmental test facilities. We help industry, research organisations, environmental regulators, government and other measurement providers to evaluate instrument performance, demonstrate conformance with industry-standard protocols and validate instruments in the lab and the field. Our emissions, ambient air sampling and analysis services are accredited to ISO 17025 and all our measurements are traceable to UK national standards, providing you with ultimate confidence in data and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Our expertise and innovation eliminates the need for specialist in-house resources and reduces our customers' technical risk. We deliver revenue, cost and time savings for complex technical challenges. Our unique combination of experts and equipment makes us one of the premier environmental measurement facilities in Europe.
