  4. Onset HOBO Rainfall-Streamflow Telemetry System Being Used in Flooding Research

    Researchers from Lancaster University are tackling one of the most pressing problems to face water science in a generation

    After the devastation of the 2007 floods, the UK Government's "Pitt review" triggered initiatives designed to introduce “green”, or natural, flood mitigation (NFM) measures upstream of the affected communities, rather than relying solely on downstream engineering solutions.

    A team of Lancaster University scientists led by Dr Nick Chappell of the Lancaster Environment Centre is leading one of three major NERC-funded projects to quantify the likely magnitude of nature-based flood mitigation effects across large catchments (Q-NFM), by undertaking large scale computer modelling, supported by fieldwork and stakeholder engagement.

    The team are investigating natural flood mitigation measures across several thousands of square kilometres in Cumbria, much of which suffered devastating flooding during Storm Desmond in December

  6. Housing Associations - Is Mould Costing You?

    MX1101 bluetooth temperature/humidity monitor for use by housing associations to help detect causes of mould.

    Data loggers can play a crucial part in identifying and demonstrating the underlying causes of damp and mould in domestic properties.

    Tempcon supply a wide range of data loggers that can be used to evidence the reasons behind mould and damp. For example – is it caused by tenant behaviour?

    The humidity and temperature of a dwelling can be assessed against outdoor temperatures and patterns of behaviour established.

    Problem housing stock can be easily assessed, enabling the tenants to be given advice if their actions are the cause and the Housing Association to evidence their behaviour.

  8. What is Calibration and Why is it so Important?

    Calibration is vitally important wherever measurements are important, it enables users and businesses to have confidence in the results that they monitor, record and subsequently control.

    If you would like your equipment calibrated by our on-site lab, please contact us for a quote.

    Calibration is the process of comparing a reading on one piece of equipment or system, with another piece of equipment that has been calibrated and referenced to a known set of parameters. The equipment used as a reference should itself be directly traceable to equipment that is calibrated according to ISO/IEC 17025.

    ISO/IEC 17025 is the International Standard for the accreditation of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. It includes quality management system requirements along with technical requirements.
