This technical committee's objective is to provide a forum for an international interchange of opinions among experts in the relevant field; in order to share, at worldwide level, knowledge and experience which could permit to achieve comparability and compatibility among the measurements and calibrations carried out in all regions. To pursue this goal, we organize symposia, workshops, round table sessions and activities on pressure measuring techniques, sensors and instruments design, calibration procedures, comparisons, uncertainty evaluation and other related applications.
