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:
¾ die Umwertung als reine Temperaturfunktion (T-Umwertung);
¾ die Umwertung als Funktion von Druck und Temperatur mit einem konstanten Realgasfaktor (PT-Umwertung);
¾ 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.
Compteurs de gaz - Dispositifs électroniques de conversion de volume de gaz
La présente Norme européenne établit les exigences et les essais pour la construction, les performances, la sécurité et la conformité des dispositifs électroniques de conversion de volume de gaz associés à des compteurs de gaz, utilisés pour la mesure de volume de gaz combustibles des première et deuxième familles telles que définies dans l'EN 437.
La présente norme traite uniquement des trois types de conversion suivants :
¾ conversion en fonction de la température seule (appelée conversion T) ;
¾ conversion en fonction de la pression et de la température avec un facteur de compressibilité constant (appelée conversion PT) ;
¾ conversion en fonction de la pression, de la température et qui tient compte du facteur de compressibilité (appelée conversion PTZ).
Ces dispositifs de conversion sont constitués d'un calculateur et d'un transducteur de température ou d'un calculateur, d'un transducteur de température et d'un transducteur de pression installé localement.
Tout dispositif de conversion peut comporter une correction des erreurs du compteur.
NOTE Lors de la présentation des comptes à l'utilisateur final, les mesurages issus du dispositif de conversion peuvent être utilisés conjointement avec les mesurages issus d'un compteur de volume de gaz conforme à l'une des normes suivantes, EN 1359, prEN 12480 ou prEN 12261 suivant le cas, ou à 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.

A gas-volume conversion device shall, in all circumstances, withstand theinfluence factors and disturbances defined in 8.4 and 8.5.6.1.2 A conversion device shall be designed in such a way that it does not degrade the accuracy of themeasurement of the gas meter with which it is associated.6.1.3 The metrological parts of a conversion device shall be capable of being fitted with protective seals. Aconversion device shall be constructed in such a way that any mechanical intervention liable to influence theaccuracy of measurement shall cause permanently visible damage to its protective seals or set an alarm.6.1.4 The conversion factor shall be recalculated at intervals between the volume pulses not exceeding 1 min fora temperature conversion device and at intervals not exceeding 30 s for the other types of gas-volume conversiondevices.However, when no volume signal has been received from the gas meter for:¾ over 1 min for a temperature conversion device; or¾ over 30 s for other types,recalculation is not required until the next volume signal is received.6.1.5Any interfaces and connections fitted within the conversion device allowing the connection ofcomplementary devices shall not corrupt the metrological behaviour of the conversion device.6.1.6The interconnections and any interfaces between the calculator and the transducers are integral parts ofthe conversion device.For a gas-volume conversion device, type 2, these connections should be protected by separate seals, to avoidbreakage of the main metrological seal in the case of replacement of a component.The manufacturer shall specify the length and characteristics of the interconnections and of any interfaces wherethese may affect the accuracy of measurement of the gas-volume conversion device.SIST EN 12405:2004
