SIST EN 17526:2022

This document specifies requirements and tests for the construction, performance, safety and production of battery powered class 1,5 Capillary Thermal-Mass Flow sensor gas meters (hereinafter referred to as meter(s)). This applies to meters having co-axial single pipe, or two pipe connections, which are used to measure volumes of fuel gases of the 2nd and/or 3rd family, as given in EN 437:2018.
In general, the term “thermal mass flow meters” applies to a flow-measuring device using heat transfer to measure and indicate gas flowrate, as defined in ISO 14511.
NOTE 1   Although the word “mass” is present in the definition of the measurement principle, gas meters covered by this document provide measurement of gas at base conditions of temperature and pressure.
These meters have a maximum working pressure not exceeding 0,5 bar and a maximum flowrate not exceeding 160 m3/h over a minimum ambient temperature range of −10 °C to +40 °C and a gas temperature range as specified by the manufacturer with a minimum range of 40 °C.
This document applies to meters indicating volume at base conditions, which are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance. It applies to meters in:
-   closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection, as specified by the manufacturer) with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity;
or, if specified by the manufacturer:
-   open locations (outdoor without any covering) both with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity;
and in locations with electromagnetic disturbances likely to be found in residential, commercial and light industrial use.
For meters which indicate unconverted volume, reference can be made to Annex C.
Unless otherwise stated, all pressures given in this document are gauge pressures.
Requirements for electronic indexes, valves and additional requirements for batteries incorporated in the meter and any other additional functionalities are given in EN 16314:2013.
Unless otherwise stated in a particular test, the tests are carried out on meters that include additional functionality devices intended by the manufacturer.
Clauses 1 to 13 are for design and type testing only.

Gas meters - Conversion devices - Part 1: Volume conversion
SIST EN 12405-1:2022

This document specifies the requirements and tests for the construction, performance, safety and conformity of gas-volume electronic conversion devices associated to gas meters, used to measure volumes of fuel gases of the 1st and 2nd families according to EN 437.
This document is intended for type testing, the detailed relevant provisions of which are given in Annex A.
Only three kinds of conversion are treated in this document:
-   conversion as a function of temperature only (called T conversion);
-   conversion as a function of the pressure and of the temperature with constant compression factor (called PT conversion);
-   conversion as a function of the pressure, the temperature and taking into account the compression factor (called PTZ conversion).
This document is not relevant to temperature conversion integrated into gas meters which only indicate the converted volume.
Gas-volume conversion devices consist of a calculator and a temperature transducer or a calculator, a temperature transducer and a pressure transducer locally installed.
For application of this document, a conversion device may be, as a choice of the manufacturer, considered as a complete instrument (Type 1) or made of separate elements (Type 2), according to the definitions given in 3.1.20.1 and 3.1.20.2.
In this last case, the provisions concerning pressure transducers, temperature sensors and temperature transducers are given in Annexes B, C and D respectively.
Any conversion device can provide an error curve correction for a gas meter.
NOTE   When rendering an account to an end user the readings from the conversion device can be used in conjunction with the readings from a gas meter conforming to EN 1359, EN 12480, or EN 12261, as appropriate, or to any other appropriate and relevant international or national standard for gas meters, without prejudice of national regulations.
