The Laboratorio Universitario de
Metrologia (LUM) of the Universidad Politecnica de Cartagena,
consists of a laboratory completely dedicated to the technology
transfer, the technical advise and the dimensional calibration
and verification, as well as the technical education and
scientific research about quality control methodologies and
dimensional measuring techniques.
Among the services offered by the Laboratorio Universitario de Metrologia (LUM),
it can be remarked the calibration of reference gauges and
dimensional measuring equipment and instruments that are
periodically sent to us by private companies, public
organizations and other metrology laboratories, and the emission
of the calibration certificates that are needed by these
entities with the purpose to satisfy the requirements asked in
auditories to be passed with periodical character regarding
their quality management systems.
The services and activities that
are developed by the Laboratorio Universitario de Metrologia
(LUM) of the Universidad Politecnica de Cartagena, can be
grouped in the following sections:
-
Calibration of
reference gauges and measuring equipment,
verification of mechanical components and machine elements,
verificaction of machine tools and other prduction
equipment, etc. oriented to private
companies, public organizations and other metrology
laboratories
-
Technical advise
about dimensional metrology, management of verification departments,
development of inspection plans, generation of
measuring procedures, etc. oriented to private
companies, public organizations and other metrology
laboratories
-
Development of courses of specific
education for technical personnnel related to the
utilization of measuring instruments and equipment
in private companies, public organizations and other
metrology laboratories, besides courses
for extension of knowledge about dimensional
metrology equipment and methods for students of
the Universidad Politecnica de
Cartagena (UPCT)
-
Scientific research
oriented to generation of novel measuring techniques,
reduction of uncertainty associated to dimensional
metrology instruments, prediction of contribution to
uncertainty from factors involved in the measuring
process, etc.
In this way, as a reference laboratory for the dimensional
calibration and verification, the Laboratorio Universitario de Metrologia (LUM)
attend to the needs of private companies,
public organizations and other entities with regards to the
periodical calibration of measuring equipment and instruments,
technical advice and educational courses for their personnel, as
specially occurs with companies dedicated to the metal-mechanic
sector and other related fields. |
