Weight, Presurre and Geometric Quantities

Mass, Pressure, and Geometric Quantities Department
The Mass, Pressure and Geometric Quantities Department is an organizational unit of the Slovak Metrology Institute (SMÚ). Its primary mission is research and maintenance of national and other standards, as well as transferring these standards into practice.
