1 Scope
This European Standard specifies initial verification tests and applies to heat meters, that is to instruments
intended for measuring the heat which, in a heat-exchange circuit, is absorbed (cooling) or given up (heating)
by a liquid called the heat-conveying liquid. The heat meter indicates the quantity of heat in legal units.

Electrical safety requirements are not covered by this European Standard.

Pressure safety requirements are not covered by this European Standard.

Surface mounted temperature sensors are not covered by this European Standard.

2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 1434-1:2007, Heat meters — Part 1: General requirements

EN 60751:1995, Industrial platinum resistance thermometer sensors (IEC 60751:1983 + A1:1986)

3 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.

The provisions of this standard also apply to the re-verification of heat meters.

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 heat meter as a combined instrument, the flow sensor, the temperature sensors and the
calculator shall each be tested separately.

Unless otherwise stated in the certificate of pattern approval, the verification shall be carried out in accordance
with this standard.

NOTE Modern heat 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 heat 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" (Standardised heat meter
adapter) Version 1.5 of September 2000, AGFW Merkblatt 6, Band 2, Frankfurt, Germany.

4 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
DOZVOLJENO SAMO ZA JEDNOG KORISNIKA, ZABRANJENO UMNOŽAVANJE I KORIŠCENJE NA MREŽI !

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,

b) be subtracted from the MPE of the EUT to obtain a new MPE.

It is recommended that option a) is used.

5 Tests to be carried out

5.1 General

If the error determined lies outside the MPE, the test shall be repeated twice. 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.

5.2 Flow sensors

The verification of the flow sensor shall be carried out within each of the following flow-rate ranges at a liquid
temperature of (50 ± 5) ºC for heating applications and (15 ± 5) ºC for cooling applications

a) qi ≤ q ≤ 1,1 qi

b) 0,1 qp ≤ q ≤ 0,11 qp

c) 0,9 qp ≤ q ≤ 1,0 qp

If the pattern approval certificate so provides, the verification may be carried out with cold water in accordance
with the procedures laid down in the certificate.

When testing the flow sensors, the guidelines in the pattern approval certificate shall be followed (e.g.
requirements for water conductivity, water temperature, straight inlet/outlet tubes).

To enable rapid testing of the flow sensor, it is customary to bypass the output signal used by the calculator.
However, for at least one test, this signal shall be included.

5.3 Temperature sensor pair

5.3.1 Error in temperature difference

The individual temperature sensors of the temperature sensor pair shall be tested, without their pockets, in the
same temperature bath at temperatures within each of the three temperature ranges in Table 1.

3 All Θmin Θmax - 30 K to Θmax 75 °C to 85 ºC
NOTE If specified in the pattern approval certificate, variations in the temperature
ranges and the number of temperatures are permissible.

The immersion depth of the sensor under test shall be at least 90 % 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 through the three
test points. Thereby the characteristic curve for the temperature sensor is known.

The "ideal" curve using the standard constants of EN 60751 shall be generated. To give the error at any
temperature, the "ideal" curve shall be subtracted from the characteristic curve for each temperature sensor.

As a further step, the worst case error of the temperature sensor pair shall be determined over the
temperature range and over the temperature difference range specified for the sensors.

For return temperatures above 80 °C, only temperature differences over 10 K shall be taken into account.

The error determined as described above shall be within the limits stated in 9.2.2.2 of EN 1434-1:2007.

When measuring resistance, the current shall be such, that the power dissipation does not exceed 0,2 mW
RMS.

5.3.2 Insulation resistance

The resistance between each terminal and the sheath shall be measured with a test DC-voltage between 10 V
and 100 V and under ambient conditions between 15 ºC and 35 ºC and at a relative humidity not exceeding
80 %. The polarity of the test current shall be reversed. In all cases the resistance shall not be less than
100 MΩ.

For cooling applications:

a) ∆Θmin ≤ ∆Θ ≤ 1,2 ∆Θmin

b) 0,8 ∆Θmax ≤ ∆Θ ≤ ≤ ∆Θmax but < 15 K

The simulated flow rate signal shall not exceed the maximum acceptable by the calculator.

The return temperature shall be in the temperature range between 40 °C and 70 °C for heating applications
and (20 ± 5) °C for cooling applications, if not otherwise stated in the pattern approval certificate.

To enable rapid testing of the calculator, it is customary to by-pass the indicating device of the heat meter.
However, for at least one test, the meter's indicating device shall be included.

5.5 Calculator and temperature sensor pair.

The sub-assembly of calculator and temperature sensor pair shall be tested using temperature ranges of 5.3
and the temperature difference ranges of 5.4.

Additionally, a final test of the sub-assembly is necessary, with the temperature sensor pair immersed in two
temperature regulated baths. The temperature difference of the baths shall be between 3 K and 4 K. The
simulated flow-rate shall not create a signal exceeding the maximum signal acceptable by the calculator.

If the calculator and temperature sensor pair are tested as an inseparable sub-assembly, it shall be tested in
accordance with 5.4.

5.6 Combined heat meter

The flow sensor, the temperature sensor pair and the calculator shall be each tested separately, in
accordance with 5.2 to 5.4.
