Announcing the 7th CCM International Conference on Pressure and Vacuum Metrology in conjunction with the 7th International Conference IMEKO TC16 will take place from May 15-19, 2023 at the Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel.
The CCM International Conference on Pressure and Vacuum Metrology is the world’s leading conference on measurement related issues in the pressure and vacuum field. It is to review research and developing work on highest quality primary standards and the dissemination of traceability to the most exacting and demanding users in the range from 10 ^-9 Pa to 10 ^10 Pa.
The International Conference IMEKO TC16 on pressure measurement focuses on the more practical aspects of pressure and vacuum measurement mainly for industrial sectors like process and semiconductor industry, photovoltaic, coating, metallurgy, packaging, pharmaceutical and others but also for research applications.
The CCM-PVWG (Consultative Committee on Mass (CCM) Working Group on Pressure and Vacuum) holds an international meeting every 6 years to discuss issues relating to pressure and vacuum metrology. The meeting was last held in Perera, Colombia in 2017. For questions about this conference please email jacob.ricker [at] nist.gov (jacob[dot]ricker[at]nist[dot]gov).
