[September 2004]
National Measurement Awards
Following on from the success of the 2003 event, NPL and Beta Technology have announced that the 2004 National Measurement Awards will be presented at NPL on 22 November 2004. The awards recognise outstanding achievement in the field of measurement and testing and highlight the crucial role that measurement plays in industry and sustaining quality of life.
The awards comprise five categories: Categories One, Two and Three acknowledge the development of new measurement solutions from initial concept through to prototype construction and actual application into industry; Category Four acknowledges the efforts of individuals or organisations that help promote measurement best practice, particularly within the UK; and Category Five (The NPL Materials Award) acknowledges advances in metrology that impact on the processing, properties, performance or characterisation of engineering materials.
In 2003, this last award was presented to Dr Eddie O'Brien who developed a post-nucleation fatigue damage measurement by remote crack growth detection and monitoring.
Spaces may be available for those wishing to attend this year's ceremony. E-mail Hannah Edmunds at: hannah.edmunds@npl.co.uk
