When it comes to LNG, only real measurement accuracy counts – The CryoMet Calibration Campaign proves who delivers

In the trade of liquefied gas and biomethane, a 0.5% measurement deviation can quickly lead to million-dollar losses. But how do you really know what accuracy a flow meter achieves in actual operation? Manufacturer specifications are one thing, field relevance is quite another. This is precisely where the CryoMet Calibration Campaign comes in. A globally unique project that doesn’t measure theoretical values, but investigates the actually achievable measurement accuracy under real conditions.

The constellation: Top expertise meets top equipment

The consortium combines two critical factors:

World-class reference infrastructure
Calibrations take place at VSL’s LNG facility (Dutch Metrology Institute) – with direct SI traceability. This means: every measurement is internationally recognized and reproducible.
Equipment from market leaders
Emerson, Endress+Hauser, KROHNE, and TrigasDM provide their measurement technology. This is no marketing gimmick – it’s mutual confidence in your own quality.

What is measured and why it matters?

The campaign doesn’t just examine flow meters, but the entire measurement chain:

Flow measurement devices
Densitometers (density measurement)
Composition analysis of LNG and liquefied biomethane

Here’s the decisive point: whoever only calibrates individual components gets an incomplete picture. Real measurement accuracy depends on the entire chain, under conditions that match actual operation.

The added value for you as a buyer or seller

The results create transparency and comparability:

No hidden uncertainties
Fair billing based on proven accuracy
Systematic advantages or disadvantages are eliminated

For TrigasDM, participation in this study sends a clear signal: we stand behind our measurement technology. Not just with certificates, but with data.

Our flow meters are among the most precise in the world – we know that. But we also know: in the field, only what’s measurable counts. That’s why we support independent calibration campaigns. Trust requires more than certificates – it requires real expertise.

Our sister company TrigasFI GmbH operates one of Europe’s DAkkS-certified calibration laboratories (ISO 17025). This experience flows into every measurement.
