Dr. Jeerasak Pitakarnnop, Senior Professional Metrologist from NIMT, represented Thailand in participating and delivering a technical presentation at the EURAMET Technical Committee for Mass and Related Quantities (TC-M) Workshop on Dynamic Measurements of Mechanical Quantities, held during 3–4 March 2026 in Sweden. He attended the workshop as an Invited Speaker, reflecting international recognition of his expertise in dynamic pressure metrology.
Dr. Jeerasak was nominated through the Asia Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP) TC-M, following EURAMET’s request for experts in the field of dynamic pressure. His selection highlights both his individual expertise and NIMT’s growing international role in advanced metrology research.
At the workshop, Dr. Jeerasak presented his work titled “Pressure Step and Shock Front Prediction Using CFD Simulations,” contributing to the session on dynamic pressure. His research focuses on the development of primary standards for dynamic pressure based on shock tube techniques, which have previously been presented at international platforms such as IMEKO and published in the journal Measurement. This work has been supported by national research funding and represents a significant advancement in Thailand’s metrology capabilities.
The shock tube-based system developed by NIMT serves not only as a primary standard for dynamic pressure but also has broader applications in emerging fields. These include studies on green, carbon-free fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, as well as investigations into combustion processes, carbon emissions, and chemical reaction kinetics of hydrocarbon fuels. These applications align with global priorities on carbon reduction and sustainable energy development.
In addition to the workshop sessions, Dr. Jeerasak also participated in technical discussions and a laboratory visit under the RISE–NIMT bilateral collaboration framework, further enhancing cooperation between the two institutes.
Dr. Jeerasak’s role as an invited speaker not only showcases the technical capabilities of NIMT on the global stage but also contributes to strengthening Thailand’s position in advanced metrology. The outcomes of this participation are expected to support national development in key sectors such as energy, next-generation automotive technologies, carbon management policies, and the emerging space economy.
Overall, this engagement represents a significant step forward in advancing Thailand’s metrology infrastructure, fostering international collaboration, and supporting innovation-driven economic growth.
