THE INRIM THERMAL ENERGY STANDARD

Carlo Marinari, Fabio Saba, Marina Orio
Abstract:
In 2009, INRIM opened a research activity to plan the design and the realization of an innovative Thermal Energy Standard. The paper presents the main features of the new national standard and the innovative measurement approach adopted in order to faithfully simulate the real operating conditions of direct heat meters. An overview of the measurement procedure and the first experimental results for assessing the metrological performances of the thermal energy standard are given.
