The second day has always been the busiest one in terms of the number of visitors. The participants were promoting their products on an active basis and answered the journalists’ questions:

Sartoros Ltd.: Sartorius has been the oldest manufacturer of weight machinery since 1870 with its headquarters located in Germany. It is needless to say that the quality of their equipment is very high. Experts who began using their scales 20 or 30 years ago prefer using scales of the same brand when upgrading their weighting equipment.

Volgogradelectronmash Ltd.: Our company has made a lot to develop new chambers for the past two years. Our climatic chamber has been used efficiently, first of all, in the defense complex and electronic industry. We would like to demonstrate the newest combined chamber for cold, warm, humid and solar radiation intended for complex tests at the 2010 exhibition.

Test-Systems Ltd.: We manufacture test equipment for testing nearly any materials for elongation, compression, bend and torsion including under high temperatures. Our products are highly competitive, meet all international standards and are certified according to the Russian requirements.

A lot of issues were discussed as a part of the section devoted to metrological support in the housing and utilities infrastructure and construction. According to the participants, issues of metrology and safety have recently been neglected because of reorganization of the housing and utilities infrastructure. At the same time, the program aimed at implementing complex systems for measuring electric power, water and heat has been implemented according to the schedule. Representatives of the Housing and Utilities Infrastructure Assistance and Reformation Fund (State Corporation), FGU Rostest Moscow, CJSC Monitoring Center and JSC MOEK took part in the section.

Finally, Deputy General Director of FGUP VNIIOFI (All-Russian Research Institute for Optical and Physical Measurements) N.P. Muravskaya provided a short description of urgent problems in metrological support in the field of health care.

May 20

The Forum celebrated the World Metrology Day with the participation of representatives of international organizations. Deputy Director of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) Prof. Michael Kuhne paid an official visit to the symposium.

The Presidium of the Symposium on the great day for all metrologists comprised Head of the Metrology Administration Rostekhregulirovaniye V.M. Lakhov, Deputy Director of BIPM Prof. Michael Kuhne, Director of FGUP VNIIMS (Russian Research Institute of Metrological Service) S.A. Kononogov, Vice-President of the International Committee on Legislative Metrology (СIML) L.K. Isayev and Deputy General Director of FGU Rostest Moscow A.S. Yevdokimov.

Deputy Director of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) Prof. Michael Kuhne delivered a report on the basis of the international welcome speech from the BIPM Director Andrew Wallard: "I am pleased to be present here at such an important event on the 135th anniversary of signing The Convention of the Metre, the most outstanding event for every metrologist, which had a huge impact on the technical and economic development of the humankind. Today the BIPM comprises 54 member states including Russia, which makes up 97% of the global trade. Over one billion dollars are invested in metrology in the world every year. The BIPM countries conduct great research and development activities to ensure the unity of measurements in the world".

Vice President of the Central Office of Measures in Poland (GUM) Wlodzimierz Popiolek thanked the Organizational Committee for invitation and proper organization, and said: "I am sure that our delegation’s visit to this forum and our negotiations will contribute to cooperation between GUM and Russian metrological institutions as well as with experts from different branches of the Russian industry that got together here. Globalization makes us ensure more precise measurements and provide total cooperation to solve the related problems".

In his report Director of FGUP VNIIMS (Russian Research Institute of Metrological Service) S.A. Kononogov touched upon global issues of modern metrology all international organizations and Russian metrological institutions are to solve: "Metrology is really a bridge to innovations. It is solving the problem of measurements in the nanometer range that enabled all of us to take a serious step to the development of nanotechnologies. Today the world community faces the most complicated problem of redefining units on the basis of fundamental constants in order not to restrain further research and technological progress".

Vice-President of the International Committee on Legislative Metrology (CIML) L.K. Isayev spoke about Russia’s contribution to the world metrology and its cooperation with international organizations: "Russia was one of the first countries to join BIPM and OIML. It is an honorary member of the organizations and occupies an important position there. In spite of all problems, Russia still occupies its leadership position in the field of maintaining its base of reference standards and quality of measurements. Russia ranks third after the United States and Germany according to the database of calibration measurement capabilities, which confirms Russia’s role in the global metrological activities".

In addition to the solemn part, the third day was distinguished by great success of three sections.

The section on metrological support in oil and gas complex where Russia traditionally occupies a strong position turned out to be the busiest one.
