Optical and thermophysical properties of materials


Certification of a reference material for thermics
Over the last three years, in the framework of the European HTCRM project, BNM-LNE has worked with leading European metrology laboratories on the certification of Pyroceram® 9606 (a material developed by Corning) for its thermal diffusivity and high-temperature (1000°C) conductivity.

Natural gas: higher heating value (HHV)
The aim of this study is to develop reference measurement equipment to determine the higher heating value (HHV) of natural gas components by absolute calorimetry with very low uncertainty.

Spectral emissivity of materials
The aim of this project is to improve the infrared radiation detection system of the reference bench used for measuring the directional spectral emissivity of materials at temperatures close to ambient temperature.
