Rubén Verdugo, Manuel Lladser

Abstract

The traditional approach for the establishment of a metrology infrastructure in other countries has been established as central laboratory, call generically National Metrology Institute (NMI) which has an official recognition to enhance the capacities of measurement of the country or economy. Chile has took the decision to have a Network more than an unique NMI, so at the present time, the structure of the Network is included by 7 magnitudes managed by 6 Institutions, CESMEC (mass and temperature), IDIC (force) and ENAER (pressure), DICTUC S.A. (length), CISA (Liquid Flows) and University of Conception (electrical Magnitudes).
