    Students from Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) had the opportunity to experience the life of a metrologist last November!

    Over five days, the students visited NMC’s Temperature, Length and Dimensional Laboratories to shadow NMC’s metrologists to experience how metrologists practise the science of measurement in a measurement science laboratory. For these students, they are now more aware of what metrologists do, and the experience had sparked their interests in the science of measurement.

    The students saw how NMC metrologist calibrate high temperature sensors using a three-zone tubular furnace

    Understanding how NMC's metrologist perform accurate gas flow measurement using gas flow meter and gas controller
