Gas meters - Rotary displacement gas meters
This European Standard specifies ranges, construction, performances, output characteristics and testing of rotary displacement gas meters (hereinafter referred to as RD meters or simply meters) for gas volume measurement.
This European Standard applies to rotary displacement gas meters used to measure the volume of fuel gases of at least the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gas families, the composition of which is specified in EN 437+A1:2009, at a maximum working pressure up to and including 20 bar over an ambient and gas temperature range of at least -10 °C to +40 °C.
Gaszähler - Drehkolbengaszähler
Diese Europäische Norm legt den Einsatzbereich, den Bau, den Betrieb, die Ausgabecharakteristiken und die Prüfung von Drehkolbengaszählern (nachfolgend RD-Zähler oder einfach nur Zähler genannt) für die Gasvo-lumenmessung fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Drehkolbengaszähler, die wenigstens für die Volumenmessung von Brenn-gasen von mindestens der 1., 2. und 3. Gasfamilie, deren Zusammensetzung in EN 437:2003+A1:2009 beschrieben ist, bei einem maximalen Betriebsdruck bis einschließlich 20 bar in einem Umgebungs- und Gastemperaturbereich von mindestens –10 °C bis 40 °C eingesetzt werden.
Die vorliegende Europäische Norm gilt für Zähler, die an Standorten eingebaut sind, an denen unbedeutende Schwingungen und Erschütterungen auftreten können, sowie an
geschlossenen Standorten (innen oder außen mit dem vom Hersteller vorgeschriebenen Schutz) mit oder ohne Betauung,
oder, bei entsprechender Angabe durch den Hersteller,
offenen Standorten (außen ohne Abdeckung) mit oder ohne Betauung
Soweit in dieser Norm nicht anders angegeben:
sind alle dargestellten Drücke als Überdrücke zu verstehen;
werden alle Einflussgrößen außer der geprüften Einflussgröße relativ konstant bei ihrem Referenzwert gehalten.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt auch für Zähler mit einem maximal zulässigen Druck PS und Volumen V von weniger als 6 000 bar Liter oder mit einem Produkt aus PS und DN von weniger als 3 000 bar.
ANMERKUNG Diese Grenzwerte sind dieselben wie die in der EU-Richtlinie 97/23/EG festgelegten Grenzen.
Diese Europäische Norm kann für die Musterzulassungsprüfung und die Einzelzählerprüfung angewendet werden. Verweistabellen sind in den folgenden Abschnitten aufgeführt:
Anhang A für die Prüfungen, die zur Musterzulassung vorgenommen werden müssen;
Anhang B für die Einzelzählerprüfung.
Einige Abschnitte dieser Norm behandeln ausschließlich Zähler mit einem mechanischen Zählwerk.
Die in dieser Norm angewendete Risikophilosophie beruht auf einer Analyse der aufgrund von Druck entstehenden Gefahren. Die Norm wendet Grundsätze an, um Gefahren zu beseitigen oder zu verringern. Dort wo diese Gefahren nicht beseitigt werden können, werden angemessene Schutzmaßnahmen festgelegt.
Compteurs de gaz - Compteurs de gaz à déplacement rotatif
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les plages, construction, performances, caractéristiques de sortie et essais des compteurs de mesure de volume de gaz à pistons rotatifs (appelés ci-après simplement compteurs).
La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux compteurs de gaz à pistons rotatifs utilisés pour mesurer le volume de gaz au moins de la 1re, 2e et 3e familles, dont la composition est spécifiée dans l’EN 437:2003+A1:2009, à une pression de service maximale jusqu’à 20 bar pour une gamme de température ambiante et de température du gaz d’au moins –10 °C à +40 °C.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux compteurs installés dans des endroits où les vibrations et les chocs sont peu importants et :
dans des endroits fermés (à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur avec la protection spécifiée par le fabricant) avec ou sans condensation d’humidité ;
ou, si le constructeur le spécifie,
dans des endroits ouverts (à l’extérieur sans protection) avec ou sans condensation d’humidité.
Sauf spécification contraire dans la présente norme :
toutes les pressions sont des pressions relatives ;
toutes les grandeurs d’influence, sauf celle qui est soumise à l’essai, sont maintenues constantes à leur valeur de référence.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique également aux compteurs avec une pression maximale admissible PS et le volume V de moins de 6 000 bar • litres ou avec un produit de PS et DN inférieur à 3 000 bar.
NOTE Ces limites sont les mêmes que dans la Directive UE 97/23/CE.
La présente Norme européenne peut être utilisée aussi bien pour l’approbation de modèle que pour des essais individuels de compteurs. Des tableaux de correspondance sont donnés à :
l’Annexe A pour les essais devant être réalisés pour l’approbation de modèle ;
l’Annexe B pour les essais individuels de compteurs.
Certaines parties de la présente norme couvrent les compteurs disposant uniquement d’un index mécanique.
L’approche du risque adoptée dans cette norme repose sur l’analyse des dangers liés à la pression. Les principes appliqués par la norme visent à éliminer ou réduire les dangers. Lorsque ces dangers ne peuvent pas être éliminés, des mesures de protection appropriées sont spécifiées.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies ranges, construction, performances, output characteristics and testing of rotary displacement gas meters (hereinafter referred to as RD meters or simply meters) for gas volume measurement. This European Standard applies to rotary displacement gas meters used to measure the volume of fuel gases of at least the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gas families, the composition of which is specified in EN 437:2003+A1:2009, at a maximum working pressure up to and including 20 bar over an ambient and gas temperature range of at least −10 °C to +40 °C. This European Standard applies to meters that are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance and in • closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection as specified by the manufacturer) with condensing or with non-condensing humidity or, if specified by the manufacturer, • open locations (outdoor without any covering) with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity; Unless otherwise specified in this standard: • all pressures used are gauge; • all influence quantities, except the one under test, are kept relatively constant at their reference value. This European Standard also applies to meters with a maximum allowable pressure PS and the volume V of less than 6 000 bar · litres or with a product of PS and DN of less than 3 000 bar. NOTE These limits are the same as in EU directive 97/23/EC. This European Standard can be used for both pattern approval and individual meter testing. Cross-reference tables are given in: • Annex A for the tests that need to be undertaken for pattern approval; • Annex B for individual meter testing. Some parts of this standard cover meters with mechanical index only. The risk philosophy adopted in this standard is based on the analysis of hazards on account of pressure. The standard applies principles to eliminate or reduce hazards. Where these hazards cannot be eliminated appropriate protection measures are specified. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Foreword
This document (FprEN 12480:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 237 “Gas meters”,
the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
This document will supersede EN 12480:2002.
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 Directives.
For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annex ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this
document.
Note: Due to fact that the Framework Partnership Agreement between the Commission and CEN and
CENELEC is not signed yet, there are currently no New Approach Consultants in place for 2014.
Therefore the provisions of CEN-CENELEC Guide 15 cannot be met.
This shall not prevent the processing of draft standards nor the offering of harmonized standards to the
Commission. In particular, draft standards can be sent to vote without Consultant assessment.
This note will be removed from the Foreword of the finalized publication.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies ranges, construction, performances, output characteristics and testing of
rotary displacement gas meters (hereinafter referred to as RD meters or simply meters) for gas volume
measurement.
This European Standard applies to rotary displacement gas meters used to measure the volume of fuel gases
of at least the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gas families, the composition of which is specified in EN 437:2003+A1:2009, at
a maximum working pressure up to and including 20 bar over an ambient and gas temperature range of at
least −10 °C to +40 °C.
This European Standard applies to meters that are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low
significance and in
• closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection as specified by the manufacturer) with condensing or
with non-condensing humidity
or, if specified by the manufacturer,
• open locations (outdoor without any covering) with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity;
Unless otherwise specified in this standard:
• all pressures used are gauge;
• all influence quantities, except the one under test, are kept relatively constant at their reference value.
This European Standard also applies to meters with a maximum allowable pressure PS and the volume V of
less than 6 000 bar · litres or with a product of PS and DN of less than 3 000 bar.
NOTE These limits are the same as in EU directive 97/23/EC.
This European Standard can be used for both pattern approval and individual meter testing. Cross-reference
tables are given in:
• Annex A for the tests that need to be undertaken for pattern approval;
• Annex B for individual meter testing.
Some parts of this standard cover meters with mechanical index only.
The risk philosophy adopted in this standard is based on the analysis of hazards on account of pressure. The
standard applies principles to eliminate or reduce hazards. Where these hazards cannot be eliminated
appropriate protection measures are specified.
