Over the past decade, low liquid flow measurement has become increasingly important. accurately detecting and controlling low flow rates is a common challenge encountered during medical operations and therapies. syringe and infusion pumps are frequently used in hospitals and research labs for accurate and precise drug dosing for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, among other critical applications. syringe pumps and infusion pumps typically use low liquid flow rates of less than 1500 ml/h. syringe pumps, infusion pumps, and infusion device analyzers calibration have all been in high demand in india during the past few years. to address this, the fluid flow metrology section of the csir-national physical laboratory (csir-npl), new delhi established a low liquid (micro liquid flow) calibration facility in the range of 5 ml/h to 1500 ml/h with expanded uncertainty (at k=2) in the range of 0.70 % to 0.40 % for the totalized volume and volume flow rate. the facility utilizes a static weighing method. the 220 g/82 g (dual range) weighing balance and digital timer are used as reference standards. the present study shows the detailed design & development and metrological quantification of the established facility. furthermore, the goal of the fluid flow working group at csir-npl is to improve the physical models, carry out research on small liquid flows, and form best practices for measuring microflows.
