The EMRP project Vacuum metrology for production environments (IND12) aims to improve vacuum measurements in conditions representative of those in industry.
In April 2012, the JRP-Partners IMT and PTB organised a workshop on measurement characteristics and use of quadrupole mass spectrometers for vacuum applications in Bled, Slovenia. The workshop supported a reasonable calibration scheme of quadrupole mass spectrometers by the exchange of information between experts that know of the industrial applications of quadrupole mass spectrometers, as well as experts who design them and experts who have investigated the metrological characteristics of them.
