Gas meters - Diaphragm gas meters
This European Standard specifies the requirements and tests for the construction, performance, safety and production of class 1,5 diaphragm gas meters (referred to as meters). This applies to meters with co-axial single pipe, or two pipe connections, that are used to measure volumes of fuel gases, which are within the limits of test gases of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd families described in EN 437. The meters have maximum working pressures not exceeding 0,5 bar and maximum actual flow rates not exceeding 160 m3.h−1 over a minimum ambient temperature range of −10 °C to 40 °C and a gas temperature range as specified by the manufacturer with a minimum range of 40 K.
This standard applies to meters with and without built-in temperature conversion that are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance (see MID Annex 1 Chapter 1.3.2 (a), class M1). It also applies to meters in:
- closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection as specified by the manufacturer) both with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity;
or, if specified by the manufacturer:
- open locations (outdoor without any covering) both with condensing humidity and with non-condensing humidity;
- in locations with electromagnetic disturbances corresponding to those likely to be found in residential, commercial and light industrial buildings (see MID Annex 1 Chapter 1.3.3 (a), class E1).
Unless otherwise stated, all pressures given in this document are gauge pressure.
Requirements for electronic indexes, batteries, valves incorporated in the meter and other additional functionalities are given in EN 16314.
Unless otherwise stated in a particular test, the tests are carried out on meters that include additional functionality devices intended by the manufacturer.
Clauses 1 to 9 and Annexes B and C are for design and type testing only.
NOTE The content of OIML Publication 'International Recommendation R 137' has been taken into account in the drafting of this standard.
If no specific requirements are given for test equipment, the instruments used should be traceable to a national or international reference standard and the uncertainty (2σ) should be better than 1/5 of the maximum value of the parameter to be tested. For differential results the repeatability (2σ)/resolution should be better than 1/5 of the maximum value of the parameter to be tested.

Pour les résultats différentiels, il convient que la répétabilité (2 s)/la résolution soit supérieure à 1/5e de la valeur maximale du paramètre à soumettre à l’essai.
Plinomeri - Mehovni plinomeri
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in preskuse za konstrukcijo, delovanje, varnost ter proizvodnjo mehovnih plinomerov razreda 1,5 (v nadaljevanju »merilnikov«) z enojno koaksialno cevjo ali dvema cevnima priključkoma, ki se uporabljajo za merjenje prostornine gorivnih plinov prve, druge in tretje skupine v skladu s standardom EN 437:2003+A1:2009, pri največjem delovnem tlaku 0,5 bara in največji dejanski hitrosti pretoka 160 m3/h ter najnižjem območju temperature okolja in plina od −10 °C do 40 °C.
Ta standard se uporablja za merilnike z vgrajenim pretvornikom temperature (ali brez njega), ki so nameščeni na mestih, kjer so prisotni tresljaji in sunki majhnega pomena in na:
– zaprtih lokacijah (znotraj ali na prostem z zaščito, kot jo določa proizvajalec) s kondenzirano ali nekondenzirano vlago,
ali, če je tako določil proizvajalec:
– odprtih lokacijah (na prostem brez kakršnega koli prekritja) s kondenzirano ali nekondenzirano vlago,
– lokacijah z elektromagnetnimi motnjami, ki ustrezajo običajnim motnjam v stanovanjskih, komercialnih in manj zahtevnih industrijskih zgradbah.
Vse vrste tlaka, navedene v tem dokumentu, so tlak v merilniku, razen če ni navedeno drugače.
Točke 1–9 ter dodatka B in D so samo za namene načrtovanja in tipskega preskušanja.
Zahteve glede elektronskih indeksov, akumulatorjev, ventilov merilnika in dodatnih funkcionalnosti so podane v standardu EN 16314.
OPOMBA: Pri oblikovanju tega standarda je bila upoštevana vsebina »Mednarodnega priporočila R 137« v okviru publikacij OIML.
Bistvene spremembe v primerjavi s prejšnjo izdajo vključujejo:
– skladnost z Direktivo MID 2009/137/ES v zvezi z navedenimi napakami pri uporabi istih oznak in preskušanja Qmin pri navedeni najnižji in najvišji temperaturi plina;
– preoblikovano zaščito proti koroziji;
– revidiran preskus vzdržljivosti, da bi natančneje odražal trenutne pogoje delovanja;
– zahteve za nekovinske merilnike za zunanjo uporabo, ki se dodajo zaradi upoštevanja različnih značilnosti materiala;
– določilo glede merilnikov z elektronskimi indeksi in integriranimi zapornimi ventili;
– preskušanje pritrditve nalepk.
Dodatek A je bil preoblikovan tako, da podaja dodatne zahteve za merilnike, opremljene z vgrajeno napravo za pretvorbo temperature plina.
Če za preskusno opremo niso podane posebne zahteve, morajo biti uporabljeni instrumenti izsledljivi v nacionalnem ali mednarodnem referenčnem standardu, negotovost (2s) pa mora biti boljša od 1/5 največje vrednosti parametra za preskušanje. Za diferenčne rezultate mora biti ponovljivost (2s)/rešitev boljša od 1/5 največje vrednosti zadeve za preskušanje.

5 European foreword This document (EN 1359:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 237 “Gas meters”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1359:1998. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive. For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. Significant changes from the previous editions include: — conformity with the MID 2014/32/EU regarding declared errors of the same sign and testing Qmin at the minimum and maximum declared gas temperatures; — corrosion protection restructured; — endurance testing for residential meters revised to reflect better the in-service life; — provision for meters with electronic indexes and integrated valves, and requirements for additional functionalities as given in EN 16314; — adhesion testing of labels. Annex B has been restructured to give additional requirements for meters provided with a built-in gas temperature conversion device. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
