National Visibility Metrology Laboratory
1National Visibility Metrology Laboratory
Backgroud of continuous promotion for meteorological automation
No uniform standards, no authoritative test platform, no standard test methods;
lack of capability for visibility verification and comprehensive quality test&inspection.
Complete the national visibility metrology laboratory
Realize the visibility digital transmission and standard traceability tasks, undertake visibility meter verification work.
Achieve visibility meter automated metrology and quality control tasks
Establishing highly automated forward scattering visibility meter, transmission visibility meter verification system,
compatible with different visibility meters from different manufacturers during meteorological monitoring business,
with uniform standards.
5systems
-
Chamber system
Chamber, as the main part of the visibility laboratory project, it can simulate the environment of clouds and rainfall, providing high standard visibility test environment for visibility meter calibration. -
Optical test system
Optical test system consists of two optical components of white light and laser, equipped with professional optical table. In addition to the flat and stable basic requirements, it can also support vibration-proof and lifting functions. -
Automation system
Highly automated control system to ensure the minimal outside influence during experiment, enhancing the accuracy of data, and greatly improving the working efficiency. -
Software system
User-friendly operating system, touch-screen operation; a complete metrology service platform with fully optimized operation procedure. -
Laboratory infrastructure
Considering the high visibility experiments requirement, high accuracy of optical test and sophisticated equipment, a full range of laboratory construction, retrofit and optimization of hydropower construction for the laboratory have been done.
