Thermal energy meters - Part 5: Initial verification tests

This document specifies initial verification tests for thermal energy meters. Thermal energy meters are instruments intended for measuring the energy which in a heat-exchange circuit is absorbed (cooling) or given up (heating) by a liquid called the heat-conveying liquid. The thermal energy meter indicates the quantity of thermal energy in legal units.
Electrical safety requirements are not covered by this document.
Pressure safety requirements are not covered by this document.
Surface mounted temperature sensors are not covered by this document.
This document covers meters for closed systems only, where the differential pressure over the thermal load is limited.

Thermische Energiemessgeräte - Teil 5: Tests für Konformitätsuntersuchungen und Eichungen

Dieses Dokument legt Ersteichungen für thermische Energiemessgeräte fest. Thermische Energiemessgeräte sind Messgeräte, die dazu bestimmt sind, die Energie zu messen, die in einem Wärmetauschkreislauf von einer als Wärmeträgerflüssigkeit bezeichneten Flüssigkeit aufgenommen (Kühlung) oder abgegeben (Heizung) wird. Das thermische Energiemessgerät zeigt die Menge der thermischen Energie in gesetzlichen Einheiten an.
Anforderungen an die elektrische Sicherheit sind nicht Gegenstand dieses Dokuments.
Anforderungen an die Drucksicherheit sind nicht Gegenstand dieses Dokuments.
Oberflächenmontierte Temperaturfühlern sind nicht Gegenstand dieses Dokuments.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nur Messgeräte für geschlossene Systeme, bei denen der Differenzdruck über die thermische Last begrenzt ist.

Compteurs d'énergie thermique - Partie 5 : Essais de vérification initiaux

Le présent document spécifie les essais de vérification primitive pour les compteurs d’énergie thermique. Les compteurs d’énergie thermique sont des instruments destinés à mesurer l’énergie thermique qui, dans un circuit d’échange thermique, est absorbée (refroidissement) ou cédée (chauffage) par un liquide appelé « liquide caloporteur ». Le compteur d’énergie thermique fournit la quantité d’énergie thermique en unités de mesure légales.
Le présent document couvre les compteurs pour les systèmes fermés uniquement, où la pression différentielle dans la charge thermique est limitée.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas :
-   aux prescriptions de sécurité électrique ;
-   aux prescriptions de sécurité relatives à la pression ; ni
-   aux sondes de température montées en surface.

Merilniki toplote - 5. del: Preskusi prve overitve

Merilniki toplote so instrumenti, namenjeni merjenju energije, ki jo v krogotoku toplotne izmenjave absorbira (hlajenje) ali oddaja (ogrevanje) tekočina, imenovana tekočina za prenos toplote. Merilnik toplote podaja količino toplote v predpisanih enotah.
Ta dokument ne zajema zahtev za električno varnost.
Ta dokument ne zajema tlačnih varnostnih zahtev.
Ta dokument ne zajema površinsko nameščenih senzorjev temperature.
Ta dokument zajema samo števce za zaprte sisteme, pri katerih je diferencialni tlak nad toplotno obremenitvijo omejen.

4 General
Initial verification of a measuring instrument is a series of tests and visual examinations carried out to
determine whether an instrument manufactured to replicate a given pattern conforms to that pattern
and to regulations, and that its metrological characteristics lie within the limits of the maximum
permissible errors. If the instrument passes all tests and examinations, it is given legal character by its
acceptance as evidenced by stamping and/or issuance of a certificate of verification.
NOTE The provisions of this document may also apply to the re-verification of thermal energy meters under
national law.
The instrument shall be tested under rated operating conditions at the extremes and midpoints of its
ranges.
Initial verification is divided into metrological, technical and administrative phases.
In tests of a thermal energy meter as a combined instrument, the flow sensor, the temperature sensors
and the calculator shall each be tested separately.

SIST EN 1434-5:2022
EN 1434-5:2022 (E)
Unless otherwise stated in the certificate of pattern approval, the verification shall be carried out in
accordance with this document.
Modern thermal energy meters are mainly equipped with CMOS microprocessors with a very low
power consumption, allowing battery operation. Testing and adjusting of this type of meter needs a
completely different approach. Until now, almost every meter type needed its own test equipment to
handle the manufacturer's specific requirements. This is a very complicated and expensive way for
users of several types of meters and for initial verification institutes. The more different types of
thermal energy meters a user has installed, the more testing equipment he may need. An economical
testing of several meters should be possible and an easy adaptation to the existing test bench is of great
interest.
Since this problem came up, experts have been researching an acceptable solution to it. Details of one
example of an acceptable solution are given in “Normierter Wärmezähler Adapter” (Standardized heat
meter adapter) Version 2.0 of November 2020, AGFW Regelwerk 204, Frankfurt, Germany.
5 Uncertainty of test equipment
Standards, instruments and methods used in verification 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 either:
a) not exceed 1/5 of the MPE (maximum permissible error) of the EUT (equipment under test),
or, if exceeding 1/5 of the MPE,
b) if the uncertainty is higher than 1/5 of MPE, the value of the difference between uncertainty and
1/5 MPE shall be subtracted from MPE,
