Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 4064-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 30, Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits,
Subcommittee SC 7, Volume methods including water meters.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4064-1:1993), which has been technically
revised as well as cancelling and replacing ISO 7858-1:1998 and ISO 10385-1:2000.
ISO 4064 consists of the following parts, under the general title Measurement of water flow in fully charged

1 Scope
This part of ISO 4064 specifies terminology, technical characteristics, metrological characteristics and
pressure loss requirements for cold potable water and hot water meters. It applies to water meters that can
1)
withstand maximum admissible working pressures (MAP) W 1 MPa (0,6 MPa for meters for use with pipe
nominal diameters, DN W 500 mm) and a maximum admissible temperature, MAT, for cold potable water
meters of 30 ºC and for hot water meters up to 180 ºC, depending on class.
This part of ISO 4064 also applies to water meters, based on electrical or electronic principles and to water

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 4064-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 30, Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits,
Subcommittee SC 7, Volume methods including water meters.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4064-1:1993), which has been technically
revised as well as cancelling and replacing ISO 7858-1:1998 and ISO 10385-1:2000.

Meters for cold potable water and hot water —
Part 1:
Specifications
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4064 specifies terminology, technical characteristics, metrological characteristics and
pressure loss requirements for cold potable water and hot water meters. It applies to water meters that can
1)
withstand maximum admissible working pressures (MAP) W 1 MPa (0,6 MPa for meters for use with pipe
nominal diameters, DN W 500 mm) and a maximum admissible temperature, MAT, for cold potable water
meters of 30 ºC and for hot water meters up to 180 ºC, depending on class.
This part of ISO 4064 also applies to water meters, based on electrical or electronic principles and to water
meters based on mechanical principles incorporating electronic devices, used to meter the actual volume flow
of cold potable water and hot water. It also applies to electronic ancillary devices. Generally ancillary devices
are optional.
The specifications of this part of ISO 4064 apply to water meters, irrespective of technology, defined as
integrating measuring instruments continuously determining the volume of water flowing through them.
NOTE National regulations may apply in the country of use. These will take precedence over the provisions of this
part of ISO 4064.

4.2.3 Design of the meter manifold connection
The meter connection shall be designed to connect the meter, using the screw thread provided, to a manifold
having this design of face. Suitable seals shall ensure that no leaks occur between the inlet connection and
the meter/manifold exterior or between the inlet and outlet passages at the meter/manifold interface.
4.2.4 Dimensions of concentric meters
Dimensions for concentric meters are defined by a cylinder into which the meter fits (see Figure 3 an
