World Metrology 

Day 

May 20,2017 

Poster and press announcement compliments of the 2017 World Metrology Day 

(WMD) Team, Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). The Poster was 

designed by Luz Madelen Arenas Lugo, Graphic Designer and Norma Carolina Aquite 

Lima, Team Leader, Instituto Nacional De Metrologia De Columbia.

Welcome to the 

2017 World Metrology Day 

The theme for World Metrology Day 2017 is Measurements for transport. This 

theme was chosen because transport plays such a key role in the modern 

world. We not only move ourselves, but also the food we eat, the clothes we 

wear, the goods we use and rely on, not forgetting the raw materials they are 

made from. Doing so safely, efficiently and with minimal environmental im‐

pact requires an astonishing range of measurements. 

Indeed more widely metrology, the science of measurement, plays a central 

role in scientific discovery and innovation, industrial manufacturing and in‐

ternational trade, in improving the quality of life and in protecting the global 

environment. 

World Metrology Day is an annual celebration of the signature of the Metre 

Convention on 20 May 1875 by representatives of seventeen nations. The 

Convention set the framework for global collaboration in the science of meas‐

urement and in its industrial, commercial and societal applications. The orig‐

inal aim of the Metre Convention ‐ the world‐wide uniformity of measurement 

‐ remains as important today as it was in 1875. 

The World Metrology Day project is realized jointly by the BIPM and the OIML. 

We hope that you enjoy this site and that your Country or Metrology Organ‐

ization will join us and participate in this year's event. 

Warm regards, 

The World Metrology Day Team

Metrology Training Highlights 

RECOGNITION OF JOSΈ A. TORRES FERRER – NIST ASSOCIATE 

José Torres Ferrer has been an invaluable assistant and lead 

instructor for over 140 seminars and nearly 1500 students in 

the past twenty‐five years covering a full range of laboratory 

topics covered by the Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) 

as well as topics covered by field inspecton actvites. He pro‐

vides training on‐site at NIST and at Regional Measurement 

Assurance Program training events coordinated throughout 

the United States. Initally, José was a laboratory metrologist 

in the Puerto Rico weights and measures program and was en‐

gaged in the Natonal Conference on Weights and Measures 

(NCWM) and NCSL Internatonal. Since retring from the 

Puerto Rico agency, he solely works part‐tme on contract for 

OWM. 

Courses José has taught include: Basic Mass Metrology Sem‐

inar (English and Spanish), Basic Length/Volume Metrology 

Seminar, Fundamentals of Metrology (English and Spanish), 

Intermediate Metrology Seminar, Volume Metrology Seminar, 

NIST Handbook 133, Checking the Net Contents of Packaged 

Goods – Basic, Introducton to Electronic Weighing and Meas‐

uring Systems, Introducton to Handbook 44, Specificatons 

Tolerances and Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices, and Vehicle and Axle‐Load Scales. 

Jose has also travelled on behalf of NIST to provide training in Colombia, South America on basic uncertainty concepts. 

In additon to being an excellent instructor who is highly rated by students in course evaluatons, José has demonstrated 

ongoing e orts in contnuing e orts to improve and expand his own technical knowledge and skills in instructonal design 

and facilitaton of adult learning methods. He was integrally involved in the course redesign process that was instrumental 

in the IACET accreditaton of the OWM training program. He provides extra atenton to students who struggle in the 

courses and mentors new instructors. José serves as the primary instructor for all the OWM seminars that have been 

presented in Spanish. 

In additon, to Jose’s instructonal e orts, he has been a developer and reviewer of published NIST procedures, which are

OWM HOSTS SIM PARTICIPANTS IN 2017 FUNDA‐ MENTALS OF METROLOGY SEMINAR 

In January 2017, the Office of Weights and Measures worked with the 

NIST Internatonal and Academic A airs Office (IAAO) to conduct a Fun‐

damentals of Metrology seminar for partcipants from Natonal Metrology 

Insttutes of the InterAmerican Metrology System (SIM). Partcipants suc‐

cessfully completed the course and are now eligible to atend later OWM 

seminars for which this course is a prerequisite. Partcipants were from 

the Natonal Metrology Insttutes of: Saint Kits and Nevis, Costa Rica (2), 

Dominica, Colombia (2), Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, El Sal‐

vador, Brazil, and the Bahamas. 

Back Row: José A. Torres Ferrer, Elizabeth Gentry, Georgia 

Harris, Front Row: Mark Ruefenacht and Val Miller 

The week‐long Fundamentals of Metrology seminar introduces partci‐

pants to the concepts of measurement systems, units, measurement uncertainty, measurement assurance, traceability, 

basic statstcs and how each of these topics fits into a laboratory Quality Management System. Additonal topics include 

the requirements for proficiency testng, calibraton certficate generaton and review, sofware verificaton and validaton, 

and management reviews. Topics are covered using a variety of measurement disciplines (mass, dimensional, volume, 

color, qualitatve tests) using case studies so partcipants can apply the concepts to other measurement discipline upon 

completon. Topics are covered in a mixture of training styles including lecture, hands‐on exercises, case studies, discussion, 

and team projects. 

Examples of intended applicatons from student evaluatons included the following: (continued on pg 6) 

W&M Connection 5 Volume 8 Issue 2
• Statstcal techniques to evaluate the performance of my measure‐

ments and procedures. 

• Improved assessment of traceability. 

• Beter analysis of Certficates for errors. 

• Emphasize the validaton of sofware used to process calibraton data. 

• Closer analysis of uncertainty budget inputs that lead to uncertainty 

values. 

Note: This was the second Fundamentals of Metrology conducted by OWM for SIM 

participants. The first seminar was conducted in 2016 for an additional 12 participants. Funds are provided for the SIM training through the NIST IAAO.

W&M Connection 7 Volume 8 Issue 2 
NISTIR 7383, Selected Procedures for Volumetric Calibrations 

There is a new Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) 31, for the calibration 

of neck scales on volumetric provers. This content was removed from SOP 

19 for large volume prover calibrations and from SOP 21 for LPG prover cali‐

brations. Because there was a new SOP, we had to reapprove the entire pub‐

lication with a new date of March 2017. GLP 10 also had minor updates to 

ensure consistency with an ISO water quality standard, but there were no 

changes in the calculations of water density. Changes to SOP 21 and the new 

SOP 31 are being reviewed in detail at the RMAP training events this year. 

Other updates since the 2013 version of the publication were covered in pre‐

vious announcements/notifications and newsletter articles. Official dates for 

all SOPs, GLPs, and Good Measurement Practices (GMPs in this publication 

are now March 2017. 

A special thank you to Dan Wright for testing the new procedures and pro‐

viding updated Excel files as job aids to go with the SOPs ‐ they are posted 

with the SOPs. If you have questions or concerns about the Excel files, be 

sure to contact Dan right away at: dwright@agr.wa.gov. 

If you have questons about the SOPs, GLPs, or GMPs, please feel free to con‐

tact Georgia Harris at gharris@nist.gov. 

Recommended Actons: 

• Be sure to review the latest procedures and revision control docu‐

ment, update your Quality Management System master file (if these 

measurements are on your laboratory Scope), and implement them 

into your normal operatons. 

• Verify/validate any associated spreadsheets that you download and 

use in your laboratory.
