Abstract

Applications in the ultra-high pressure range are on the move forward. Of particular interest is the manufacturing of diesel injection components such as nozzles and rails. Also precision water jet cutting as well as high-pressure sterilisation, as a method of conservation in the food industry, have growing importance, mainly in Japan and the USA.<BR /> For these emerging fields traceability of the measuring equipment with the highest possible accuracy is also a must for these ultra high pressures.
