Tyre pressure measuring instruments - Devices for inspection of pressure and/or inflation / deflation of tyres for motor vehicles - Metrology, requirements and testing

EN 12645 defines metrological and technical requirements and tests of tyre pressure measuring instruments. Tyre pressure measuring instruments (often referred to as Tyre Pressure Gauges, [TPG]) are for the inspection of pressure and/or inspection of inflation/deflation of tyres of motor vehicles. It establishes in the context of motor vehicles tyres, the minimum characteristics of the chain of measurement of tyre pressure measuring instruments intended to inspect or adjust the pressure of tyres inflated by air or nitrogen. These devices, classified in different categories, are hereinafter referred to by generic term, “tyre pressure measuring instruments”. This chain of measurement consists of all the elements between the tyre valve and the display device (connector, hose, control device, measurement components, reservoir, preset device etc.). They indicate the pressure difference (pe) between the air or the nitrogen in the tyre and the atmosphere. The field of application established above can be extended to other applications where no specific standard exists. Because of the influence of tyre pressure on road safety and energy efficiency, periodical verification of tyre pressure measuring instruments is strongly recommended.

Reifendruckmessgeräte - Geräte zum Prüfen des Druckes und/oder zum Füllen / Entleeren von Reifen an Kraftfahrzeugen - Messtechnik, Anforderungen und Prüfungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt messtechnische und technische Anforderungen und Prüfungen von
Reifendruckmessgeräten fest.
Reifendruckmessgeräte (oftmals auch benannt als Reifendruckmesser, [en: TPG]) werden zur Kontrolle des
Drucks und/oder Kontrolle der Füllung/Ablassung von Kraftfahrzeugreifen verwendet.
Sie stellen im Zusammenhang mit Kraftfahrzeugreifen die Mindestmerkmale der Messkette von Anlagen zur
Erhöhung, Prüfung oder Einstellung des Druckes von mit Luft oder Stickstoff gefüllten Reifen dar.
Diese in vier Kategorien eingeteilten Anlagen werden nachstehend als „Reifendruckmessgeräte“ bezeichnet.
Die Messkette beinhaltet alle Elemente, die sich zwischen dem Reifenventil und der visuellen Anzeigeeinheit
(Anschluss, Schlauch, Regeleinrichtung, Bestandteile der Messeinrichtung, Behälter, Vorwahleinrichtung
usw.) befinden.
Die Reifendruckmessgeräte zeigen den Druckunterschied (pe) zwischen der Luft oder dem Stickstoff im Reifen
und der Atmosphäre an.
Der oben beschriebene Anwendungsbereich kann auf andere Anwendungen ausgedehnt werden, für die
keine besonderen Normen vorhanden sind.
Aufgrund der Bedeutung des Reifendruckes für die Verkehrssicherheit sowie für die Energieeffizienz werden
periodische Wiederholungsüberprüfungen dringend empfohlen.

Instruments de mesure de la pression des pneumatiques - Dispositifs de contrôle de la pression et/ou de gonflage / dégonflage des pneumatiques des véhicules motorisés - Métrologie, exigences et essais

Cette norme européenne définit des exigences métrologiques et techniques et les essais d’instruments de mesure de pression des pneumatiques.
Les instruments de mesure de pression des pneumatiques (souvent désigné comme des Manomètres de Pneumatiques, [TPG]) sont pour l'inspection de la pression et/ou l'inspection du gonflage/dégonflage des pneumatiques de véhicules motorisés.
Elle fixe dans le cadre d’une application aux pneumatiques des véhicules motorisés, les caractéristiques minimales de la chaîne de mesurage des instruments de mesure de pression des pneumatiques destinés à vérifier ou ajuster la pression des pneumatiques gonflés à l’air ou à l’azote.
Ces dispositifs classés dans différentes catégories sont désignés ci-après par le terme générique "instruments de mesure de pression des pneumatiques".
Cette chaîne de mesure se compose de tous les éléments situés entre la valve du pneumatique et le dispositif afficheur (raccord, tuyau, dispositif de commande, composants de mesure, réservoir, dispositif de prédétermination, etc.).
Ils indiquent la différence de pression (pe) entre l'air ou l'azote dans le pneumatique et l'atmosphère.
Le domaine d'application défini ci-dessus peut être étendu à d'autres applications dans le cas où il n’existerait pas de  norme spécifique.
En raison de l'influence de la pression du pneumatique sur la sécurité routière et sur l’efficacité énergétique, la vérification périodique des instruments de mesure de pression des pneumatiques est fortement conseillée.

Merilniki tlaka v pnevmatikah - Naprave za nadzor tlaka in/ali napihovanje/izpuščanje pnevmatik motornih vozil - Meroslovje, zahteve in preskušanje

Standard EN 12645 določa meroslovne in tehnične zahteve ter preskuse merilnikov tlaka v pnevmatikah. Merilniki tlaka v pnevmatikah so namenjeni nadzoru tlaka in/ali nadzoru napihovanja/izpuščanja pnevmatik motornih vozil. V zvezi s pnevmatikami motornih vozil določa minimalne karakteristike merilne verige merilnikov tlaka v pnevmatikah za nadzor ali prilagajanje pnevmatik, ki se napihnejo z zrakom ali dušikom. Te naprave, razvrščene v različne kategorije, se v nadaljevanju opisujejo s splošnim izrazom »merilniki tlaka v pnevmatikah«. To merilno verigo sestavljajo vsi elementi med ventilom pnevmatike in prikazno napravo (povezovalni priključek, cev, nadzorna naprava, merilne komponente, rezervoar, prednastavljena naprava itd.). Kažejo razliko v tlaku (pe) med zrakom ali dušikom v pnevmatiki in atmosferi. Zgoraj določeno področje uporabe je mogoče razširiti na druge uporabe, kadar ni posebnega standarda. Zaradi vpliva tlaka v pnevmatikah na varnost na cesti in energetsko učinkovitost se močno priporoča redno preverjanje merilnikov tlaka v pnevmatikah.

At atmospheric pressure, the index shall stop at the zero mark or at a predetermined mark clearly differentiated from the scale intervals, within the limits of the maximum permissible error. 5.3.2 Zero setting An instrument may be equipped with an automatic or semi-automatic zero-setting device. The semi-automatic zero-setting device has to check being at the atmospheric pressure before setting to zero. Manual zero-setting is not allowed except by switching OFF and ON. NOTE Manual means the operator can influence the result. SIST EN 12645:2014



EN 12645:2014 (E) 11 5.4 Units The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa). Often scales indicate kilopascal (kPa) or bar. 1 bar = 100 kPa. 6 Technical requirements 6.1 Construction Tyre pressure measuring instruments shall be robustly and carefully constructed to ensure that they retain their metrological characteristics taking into account the rapid pressure increase due to tyre valve matching and inflation/deflation. They permit the inspection and adjustment of tyre pressure and the filling of unpressurised tyres. Measuring instruments with a sensing element susceptible for mechanical wear and tear shall be fitted with a protection system in order to prevent the supply pressure arriving up to the sensing element during inflation. During the inflating and deflating process, it shall be made clear to the user that the value indicated is not the actual value of the tyre pressure, for instance by flashing. The final tyre pressure on the display shall be read under normal conditions of use. 6.2 Analog indicating tyre pressure measuring instrument 6.2.1 Scale angle The scale normally covers 270° of arc. 6.2.2 Scale interval The scale interval graduation is in kPa (bar) and the value of each scale interval is fixed at 10 kPa (0,1 bar). The scale intervals shall be equal over the entire scale. 6.2.3 Scale spacing The scale spacings, which are not less than 1,25 mm, shall be either virtually equal or only show slight variations. Variation of scale spacing is permitted if the difference between two consecutive scale spacings does not exceed 20 % of the largest value and if the difference between the smallest and largest scale spacings does not exceed 50 % of the largest value. For linear scales, the scale spacing applies to the visible spacing (for example the scale spacing is magnified with a magnifying glass to give an apparent scale interval of > 1,25 mm). Every fifth mark shall be distinguished from the others by its greater length; every fifth or tenth mark shall be numbered. The thickness of the marks shall be virtually constant and shall not exceed one fifth (1/5) of the scale spacing. SIST EN 12645:2014



EN 12645:2014 (E) 12 6.2.4 Index In the measurement range, the indicating device (index) shall make it possible to read off, directly and accurately, the value of the measured pressure. To this end, the thickness of the part of the index which covers the scale marks shall not be greater than the thickness of the scale marks themselves. The index shall be capable of covering approximately half the length of the shortest scale marks. The maximum distance between the index and the plane of the scale marks shall not be greater than th
