EURAMET TC-M Meeting, Espoo,

2. AWIs taken into account
Automatic Catchweighers (ACI)
Automatic Gravimetric Filling Instruments (AGFI)
Automatic Instruments for Weighing Road Vehicles in Motion (WIM)

3. Key targets Traceable dynamic measurements of three groups AWIs
A knowledge and expertise resource in the field of AWIs and dynamic weighing of mass
Increased metrology research capabilities of emerging EURAMET members

4. Achievements - Calibration Guides
Drafts of calibration guides developed for
Automatic Catchweighers
