Referencevolumetriske

Referencevolumetriske is a Norwegian compound adjective that combines referanse (reference) and volumetrisk (volumetric). In practice, the term is not widely standardized in English-language literature and appears primarily in Norwegian technical texts. It may be used to describe procedures, standards, or devices that rely on a defined reference volume to achieve accurate and comparable volumetric measurements.

The core idea behind a referencevolumetrisk approach is to establish and document a known, traceable volume that serves as a calibration or benchmark. This enables measurement traceability to the liter or cubic meter and supports uncertainty assessment. Key elements typically involved include a clearly defined reference volume, calibration against primary standards, documented measurement procedures, and regular verification to detect drift or systematic errors.

Applications span several fields. In analytical chemistry and laboratory practice, referencevolumetriske concepts appear in pipetting and volumetric titrations where precise volumes must be transferred. In medical imaging or 3D metrology, reference volumes or phantoms may be used to calibrate volume measurements and reconstruction algorithms. In materials science or civil engineering, reference volumes support volumetric quantification of composites, porosity, or aggregate content.

Standards and best practices emphasize metrological traceability, documented uncertainty, and adherence to established guidelines (for example, ISO/IEC standards and laboratory accreditation frameworks). The term remains descriptive rather than a formal designation, and its exact meaning is best inferred from the context of use. See also volumetry, calibration, reference standard, and traceability.
