Expertise in metrology

Utilize the full potential of microscopy in product development and quality control of your products with our tailored courses. Do you have a microscope lying around that you are not using in the best way or perhaps not using at all? Do you want to understand your materials and products better?

To design foods and other soft materials with the right texture, we need to understand how they break when chewed, cut, compressed or pulled apart. Fracture testing allows us to measure critical properties such as juiciness, tenderness and crispiness – helping companies develop products with improv…

Using microscopy on different length scales, you gain a greater understanding of how your material or product is structured and why it has certain properties.

At RISE, there is both equipment and knowledge to prepare your samples in the best way possible for analysis with advanced microscopy and/or with X-ray and neutron techniques (for example at MAX IV and ESS) such as tomography, scattering techniques, diffraction, spectroscopy.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the dominant method for synchronizing clocks across computer networks. With the addition of Network Time Security (NTS), time transfer becomes authenticated and encrypted. RISE offers both technical expertise in the field and its own servers for precise and reliab…

Discover the potential in your data and surveys with our psychometric evaluations. We help your organization measure, analyze, and develop new assessment tools using modern methods, clear visualizations, and tailored recommendations.

RISE offer quality assurance of 3D dimensions, from nanometres to kilometres. We have the capability to measure the form deviations on large scale structures as well as small ones. We are accredited for measuring of large-scale geometries and also operate the National Laboratory for Length and Dime…

For answers to questions such as: How does varying sweetener content increase perceived sweetness? How much weight can we remove from a carton before it is noticeably less luxurious? How thick can we make a protective coating before visibility is noticeably impaired?

RISE is the National Metrology Institute of Sweden and is responsible, through its National Laboratories, for the fundamental measurement quantities in the International System of Units SI.

The International System of Units, SI (Système International d'Unités), is a foundation for modern society and a prerequisite for science, technological development, and international trade.

Measurement uncertainty, traceability and measurement results are just some of the words and concepts found in metrology.

By monitoring a component during operation the pertinent conditions can be better understood which allows for optimization using more realistic loads and conditions. Such measurements can, for example, be carried out to measure the loads carried by a structural component and/or to monitor deformati…

Picture-quality measurement of still and video cameras; a measurement of increasing importance in today’s society.

RISE provides expertise in motion measurements, mainly based on gyroscopes and accelerometers, but we also offer extensive experience in a wide range of other measurement techniques relevant to the field. Typical applications include design of (prototype) systems, evaluation of commercial products,…

Deformation measurement of materials and structures subjected to various loading is a fundamental task of experimental mechanics. Optical full-field deformation measurements based on DIC and DVC open new possibilities for engineers and scientists to better understand mechanical behaviour as deforma…

RISE is Sweden's NMI (National Metrology Institute) and is, according to the Swedish constitution, responsible for the central measurement quantities in the International System of Units, SI.
