PGmetingen

Pgmetingen, often written PG-metingen, is a Dutch-language term used to describe the activity of performing measurements of quantities abbreviated as PG within a specific field. Because PG is not a universal quantity, the exact meaning of pgmetingen depends on context, and the term serves as a generic label for measurement work rather than a single, standardized method.

In practice, pgmetingen follows a typical measurement workflow: clearly define the PG quantity and its unit; select an appropriate measurement instrument; calibrate the instrument against traceable standards; collect data under specified conditions; analyze results and estimate uncertainty; and report findings with documentation of methods and calibration. Key concerns include accuracy, precision, calibration, environmental effects, and traceability to national or international standards.

The term is used across disciplines where a PG quantity is of interest. Common examples include engineering and fluid dynamics (for example, measuring a pressure gradient), clinical chemistry or endocrinology (such as plasma glucose levels), and other scientific or industrial applications where PG acts as a domain-specific metric. In each case, pgmetingen denotes the measurement activity, not a single technique.

Quality and standardization are central to pgmetingen. Practices typically align with metrology principles and may reference standards such as calibration certificates, measurement uncertainty evaluation, and, where applicable, certifications like ISO/IEC 17025 for laboratories.
