All 44 flowscales calibrated at Paranaguá Port

The Paraná Weights and Measures Institute (IPEM-PR) calibrated the 44 flowscales at the Port of Paranaguá in order to provide greater credibility and security to the volumes exported. The test is carried out every six months.

The Ports of Paranaguá and Antonina have already handled 38.67 million tons so far this year. Exports comprised 65.8%, or 25.4 million tons, and imports have reached 13.2 million tons. Almost 67% of the cargo handled at the ports of Paranaguá and Antonina for the same period was comprised of solid bulk. The volume of import and export products in the segment exceeds 25.78 million tons.

“The exporter must be able to count on the metrological reliability of its measuring instruments to ensure that the correct quantity of the product is shipped, preserving the buyer’s confidence in our products, whether they are agricultural or not”, says Carlos Alexandre Brero de Campos, Calibration and Testing Manager at IPEM-PR.

He added that the equipment inspection occurs every six months. The scales must also undergo a new evaluation after equipment is repaired or undergoes maintenance. “This is efficiently performed by IPEM-PR technicians to improve agility in the export and import of products through the Ports of Paraná”, concluded the Calibration and Testing Manager.
