Summary
Building on existing results from previous and ongoing projects such as, for example, NewGasMet or Decarb, or the technical documents by EURAMET, experimental data from lab tests is necessary to validate technical and metrological requirements for measuring devices.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should develop validated test methods and requirements on existing measuring devices used in the gas distribution and transmission networks, that will result, among others, in the definition of hydrogen limits and tolerances for currently used measuring devices. The measuring devices to be considered should include, at least, but not limited to gas meters, volume conversion devices, pressure transmitters and transducers, and quality analysers.
Proposals should:
- Define the test condition range for the measuring devices that will be tested: temperature, pressure, total gas mixture flowrate, etc. based on the expected in-field conditions (transportation and/or distribution networks). Hydrogen percentages should cover the range between 0% to 100% vol;
- Select the characteristics of the tested measuring devices. Particularly, the project should define specific criteria for the selection of:
- Flow measuring devices that will be tested such as the type of gas meters and related size (maximum flowrate);
- Quality analysers, including but not limiting to gas chromatographs;
- Pressure transmitters and transducers;
- Any other measuring devices included in the project.

Eligibility For Participation Notes
The project should identify and target the relevant standard(s) at the scope and activities should envisage links and synergies with current research projects concerning the measure of NG/H2 mixtures, such as those of the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) and European Partnership on Metrology of EURAMET. Collaboration with the activities of the Selected Research Topics SRT-v09 “Metrology for the hydrogen supply chain (Met4H2)”, which is expected to start in 2022, should also be foreseen. Proposals are encouraged to include a formal standardisation body within the consortium.
