In addition to the checking of the documentation (Clause 7) and the comparison of the pattern with the metrological requirements of this European Standard, the tests in Clause 6 shall be performed.

The power and signal wires shall be connected. The flow sensor including flow sensor electronics shall be operated at zero flow rate (without low flow cut off device). 6 Tests and measurements 6.1 General Unless otherwise stated in the test specification, the test requirements apply irrespective of the heat meter's environmental class. See Clause 10 of EN 1434-1:2007. All measurements shall be carried out under the installation conditions stipulated by the supplier for his type of meter (e.g. straight sections of piping upstream and downstream of the meter). For all tests the heat conveying liquid shall be water, unless otherwise specified. If so, the performance test shall be carried out with the specified liquid and the type approval certificate shall include the specification of the liquid to be used for initial verification. If a temperature sensor can be installed in the flow sensor, this shall be done during the performance tests of the flow sensor. Where a filter or strainer is an integral part of the flow sensor, it shall be included in all the tests. If the error determined lies outside the MPE, the test shall be repeated twice unless otherwise stated. The test is then declared satisfactory if both the arithmetic mean of the result of the three tests and at least two of the test results are within or at the MPE. Depending on the flow sensor size the tests and measurements to be carried out are described below: For each meter model the test in 6.4, 6.18 and 6.19 can be carried out on a limited number of sizes according to an evaluation by the testing laboratory. This evaluation shall be included in the type testing report. The test in 6.8 shall be carried out only for those sizes of a type for which the highest wear is expected. For dimensions > DN 200, 6.19 shall be carried out at Θmin. For each meter model the following tests shall be carried out on one size only: 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.9, 6.10, 6.11, 6.12, 6.13, 6.14, 6.15, 6.16, 6.17, 6.20 and 6.21. 6.2 Test programme Samples of a heat meter, or its sub-assemblies, submitted for pattern approval, shall be subject to tests to verify their conformity with Clause 4. Unless otherwise stated, the tests shall be carried out at reference con-ditions and the samples shall be exposed to the influence factors or disturbances specified for the respective tests, as stated in Table 3. The test sequence and the number of items used shall be either as described in Table 2 or as agreed between the supplier and the testing laboratory (assuming four samples, numbered by the testing laboratory). Only one influence quantity shall be applied at a time. If the meter under test (complete, combined or sub-assemblies) has test outputs for quantity of water, temperature difference and/or energy, these outputs can be used to test such parameters.

EN 1434-4:2007 (E) 10 For heating/cooling meters the tests in 6.4 shall cover both functions, the tests in 6.6 and 6.9 shall be carried out using the cooling function, but all other tests shall be carried out using the heating function. (For RMV values see 5.3.) 6.3 Uncertainty of test equipment Standards, instruments and methods used in pattern approval tests shall suit the purpose, be traceable to more precise standards and be part of a reliable calibration programme. The uncertainties associated with these standards, methods and measuring instruments shall always be known. They shall be calculated according to ENV 13005 with a coverage factor of 2 corresponding to a coverage probability of 95 %. The expanded uncertainties shall either: a) not exceed 1/5 of the maximum permissible errors of the heat meter or the sub-assemblies, or b) be subtracted from the maximum permissible errors of the heat meter or the sub-assemblies to obtain a new MPE, or otherwise specified in the test description of this standard. The use of a) is recommended - b) may only be used when ∆Θ ≤ 3 K. 6.4 Performance tests 6.4.1 General The initial intrinsic error shall be determined at least at the conditions stated in 6.4.2, 6.4.3, 6.4.4 and 6.4.5. 6.4.2 Flow sensor 6.4.2.1 General All performance tests shall be carried out three times. For a meter model with more than one specified mounting orientation, the performance testing shall be performed in the orientation, where the higher influences are expected. 6.4.2.2 Flow rates Flow rates: q1%0%10−, q2 ± 5%, q3 ± 5%, q4 ± 5% and q5 %10%0+

The water temperature at the heat meter shall not vary by more than 2 K during a measurement. For flow sensors larger than DN250, testing at water temperature a) only, is considered sufficient if the following conditions are satisfied: • the test results for smaller flow sensors of the same model are inside MPE for all water temperatures; • documentary evidence is given that technological similarity exists between the models tested and the larger sizes applied for. 6.4.2.3 Electromagnetic type flow sensors shall be tested with water having an electrical conductivity higher than 200 µS/cm. If the supplier has stated a lower permitted conductivity, tests shall also be performed at that conductivity at the flow rates q1 and q5, and at the water temperature a). The conductivity shall be noted in the certificate. If the electronic part of the flow sensor is separated from the sensor head, the type and the maximum length of the connecting cable to the electrodes shall be stated by the supplier, be used for the above mentioned low conductivity test and noted in the certificate. 6.4.2.4 For fast response meters the transient behaviour of the flow sensors of size qp ≤ 2,5 m;/h shall be investigated by measuring the total quantity of water delivered in 10 to 15 cycles, consisting of a 10 s period at a flow rate of qs and a 30 s period at zero flow rate. The total quantity of water measured shall be twice the quantity used for the test at qs in 6.4.2.2. The duration of start and stop shall be (1 ± 0,2) s. The water temperature shall be as a) in 6.4.2.2. The error shall not exceed the MPE. For a complete or combined meter, the water temperature specified above is the return temperature. The



EN 1434-4:2007 (E) 12 temperature difference shall be the maximum obtainable, but shall not exceed 42 K. 6.4.3 Calculator The calculator shall be tested at the following simulated temperatures: Table 5 — Testing temperatures for heating applications Temperature

(23 ± 3) ºC, that a deeper immersion than the qualifying immersion depth changes the resistance value by an amount corresponding to < 0,1 K.



EN 1434-4:2007 (E) 13 6.4.4.2 Thermal response time The temperature sensors shall be tested according to 4.3.3.3 of EN 60751:1995. For sensors designed to be mounted in pockets the test should be made with pockets using the set up defined in Annex A. The response time shall not exceed the supplier's specification. 6.4.4.3 General testing The temperature sensors of a pair shall be tested without their pockets at three temperature levels from the following scale: (5 ± 5) ºC

(90 ± 5) ºC
(130 ± 5) ºC
(160
± 10) ºC chosen to optimize the spread of temperature over the temperature range specified by the supplier. The immersion depth of the sensor under test shall be 90 % to 99 % of the total length. The determined resistance values shall be used in a system of three equations to calculate the three constants of the temperature/resistance equation of EN 60751 and a curve shall be drawn t
