Gas meters - Gas-volume electronic conversion devices
This European Standard 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.
Only three kinds of conversion are treated in this standard:
- conversion as a function of temperature only (called T conversion);
- conversion as a function of the pressure and of the temperature with constant compressibility factor (called PT conversion);
- conversion as a function of the pressure, the temperature and taking into account the compressibility factor (called PTZ conversion).
These gas-volume conversion devices consist of a calculator and a temperature transducer or a calculator, a temperature transducer and a pressure transducer locally installed.
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, prEN 12480, or prEN 12261, as appropriate, or to any other appropriate and relevant international or national standard for gas meters, without prejudice of national regulations.
This standard is intended for type testing only.
Annex A is normative and annex B is informative.
Gaszähler - Elektronische Zustands-Mengenumwerter
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an Herstellung, Leistungsumfang, Sicherheit und Konformität elektronischer, am Gaszähler angeschlossener Zustands-Mengenumwerter, die für die Mengenmessung von Brenngasen der ersten und zweiten Gasfamilie nach EN 437 eingesetzt werden, sowie deren Prüfung fest.
Es werden nur drei Arten der Umwertung in dieser Norm behandelt:
3 die Umwertung als reine Temperaturfunktion (T-Umwertung);
3 die Umwertung als Funktion von Druck und Temperatur mit einem konstanten Realgasfaktor (PT-Umwertung);
3 die Umwertung als Funktion von Druck, Temperatur und Realgasfaktor (PTZ-Umwertung).
Diese Zustands-Mengenumwerter bestehen aus einem Rechner und einem Temperatur-mess-umfor-mer oder aus einem Rechner, einem Temperaturmessumformer und einem Druckmessumformer und sind in der Messanlage installiert.
Alle Zustands-Mengenumwerter können auch Einrichtungen für die Korrektur der Fehler-kurve des Gaszählers enthalten.
ANMERKUNG Die Zählerstandsablesungen vom Zustands-Mengenumwerter können in Verbindung mit den Zählerstandsablesungen von Gaszählern, die EN 1359, prEN 12480 oder prEN 12261 oder anderen passenden und relevanten internationalen oder nationalen Normen für Gaszähler entsprechen, ohne Vorbehalt bezüglich nationaler Regelungen für die Rechnungstellung an Endverbraucher genutzt werden
Diese Norm dient nur der Bauartprüfung.

Tout dispositif de conversion peut comporter une correction des erreurs du compteur.
NOTE Lors de la présentation des comptes a l'utilisateur final, les mesurages issus du dispositif de conversion peuvent etre utilisés conjointement avec les mesurages issus d'un compteur de volume de gaz conforme a l'une des normes suivantes, EN 1359, prEN 12480 ou prEN 12261 suivant le cas, ou a toute autre norme nationale ou internationale appropriée et applicable sur les compteurs de volume de gaz, dans le respect des réglementations nationales.
La présente norme est destinée aux essais de type.
