July 13, 2021 -- The UWRL hydraulics Laboratory is proud to have received ISO/IEC 17025 Certification, a distinction of excellence and quality in the laboratory testing industry. This certification signifies that the Hydraulics Laboratory can measure flows up to 25,000 gallons per minute in the laboratory with an uncertainty better than 0.1% with 95% confidence. The laboratory has a maximum capacity of over 100,000 gallons per minute and expects to expand its scope to cover that flow rate in the future. The UWRL Hydraulics team can also measure a variety of electrical signals associated with process measurements. This accreditation shows that the UWRL Hydraulics Laboratory has proven that it values quality, and ensures that all calibration and testing results are accurate and reliable.
“This certification demonstrates the quality of the work and testing done in the hydraulics laboratory,” says Michael Johnson, UWRL faculty & hydraulics member, “we’re proud to offer this level of certification to our clients.”
