Objectives Work package 5 will produce information for the EVITherM web site on Expansivity and Density. This will include: - Standards and accreditation rules - Reference materials: traceability and providers - Overview of methods, procedures, laboratories and best practice guides - Examples of technical data - Training courses Description of Work Tasks Task 5.0: To define the detailed contents of tasks 5.1 to 5.7 and the activities of Members in these tasks Task 5.1: To provide a compilation of relevant standards (e.g. EN, ISO and ASTM) and, where appropriate, to include information on additional needs for standards as identified by discussion with industry. In addition a list of European accreditation rules will be generated. Task 5.2: To produce a list of reference materials – including their traceability. Providers of certified and non-certified reference materials will be identified Task 5.3: To provide an overview of established techniques and techniques in R&D. The state of the art will be described and a tentative list of providers of measurement facilities for expansivity and density will be given. The task overviews technical data of pre-selected materials, gathers information related to current R&D projects in the fields of expansivity and density and overviews expected improvements of today’s equipment Task 5.4: To produce a description of relevant measurement and calibration procedures and an online library of best practice guides which focus the calibration and verification of expansivity/density data and the procedures for temperature calibration. Additional industry needs will be identified and an overview of the relevant literature in the field will be given Task 5.5: To compile a list of European laboratories with information about the measurement devices and the available calibration facilities available Task 5.6: To review available training courses and to organise courses for specific topics as appropriate Task 5.7: To critically review all data entries for the database.

Deliverables D5.0 Report defining the form and content of the VI re: expansivity and density - month 9 D5.1 to D5.7 Sets of data compiled in tasks 5.1 to 5.7 for review on pre-release EVITherM web site – months* 12 - 30 D5.8 Approved compiled data reviewed for phased insertion into the live EVITherM web site – months* 12 - 30 Milestones and criteria M5.0 Formulation of final content – month 9 M5.1 Sets of data compiled in tasks 5.1 to 5.7 for review on pre-release EVITherM web site - months* 12 - 30 M5.2 Phased completion of approved inputs to EVITherM live website - months* 12 - 30 * Note. A plan defining the target dates for phasing information generated within this WP into the EVITherM website will be developed by the steering committee in WP1 during the first 6 months of the project Interrelation with other workpackages WP5 depends on WP1 (general definition, review and harmonisation of technical content) and interacts with WP2 and WP3 as necessary in order that the needs of industry are addressed. WP5 will also be developed in conjunction with the other scientific workpackages to ensure that interrelated technical issues are adequately covered and appropriate links between corresponding themes are incorporated in the EVITHerM web site.
