We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "National Physical Laboratory",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Are your acoustic measurements fit for purpose? from
Institute of Acoustics, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Institute of Acoustics are hosting one-day meeting entitled 'Are your acoustic measurements fit for purpose?' on the 11th of July at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington,
Middlesex".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release EMF radiation safety calibration service from
National Physical Laboratory: "The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has launched a calibration service to help UK businesses comply with the EMF radiation safety directive".
In October 2006, we covered the news from Zwick Testing Machines
concerning its Indentec testers
- take a look at Hardness testing for repair of jet engines
which says: "GE Aircraft Engine Services, based in Cardiff, South Wales, part of the GE Avionics Group, is amongst the world leaders in the overhauling and repair of aeroplane jet engines".
Take a look also at the news release from Gen3 Systems, Revised Surface Insulation Resistance standards,
as well as Polymers in electronics conference scheduled from Smithers Rapra,
and Measurement centre set up in UK West Midlands from Coventry University.
