FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1)wasadopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalizedbythe CommercialWeightsand MeasuresSectional Committee had been approved bythe Light MechanicalEngineering Division Council.

Thisstandard prescribes the general requirements applicable to all types of gasvolume meters includingelectronicgas meters. The additional requirements, specificto a particular type of gasvolume meter, arebeing specifiedin separate standards coveringparticular type of gasvolume meter.

The standard includes the terminology and definitions applicable to the gasvolume meters. It also coversthe provisions relating to location of verification and protection marks to detect/prevent any temperingand the provisions relating to pattern approval for metrological control.

Thecontents of this standard havebeen alignedwith OIMLRecommendation, OIML R 6:1989 ‘Generalprovisionsfor gasvolume meters’ issued by the International Organization of Legal Metrology, France.

The standard on gasvolume meters is currently being published in 3 parts as follows:

Part 1 General requirements,

Part 2 Diaphragm gas meters, and

Part 3 Rotary piston and turbine gas meters.

It is intended to bring-out Part 4 of this standard in due course to cover the particular requirements forElectronic Gas Meters.

For the purpose of decidingwhether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the finalvalue,observedor calculated,expressingthe result of a test or analysis,shall be rcmndedoff in accordancewith IS 2: 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant placesretained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specifiedvalue in this standard.

6.2 Test Element

6.2.1 General Requirements

6.2.1.1 Gas meters shall be designed in such a waythat they maybe verifiedwith sufficientaccuracyina reasonablyshort time. For this purpose theyshallbe constructed either with an integral test elementor with arrangements permitting the connection ofa portable test unit.

6.2.1.2 If a gas meter has two indicating devicesaspermitted in 6.1.1.3(b), each indicating deviceshallhave a test element, in order to verify theperformance of the conversion device withsufficient accuracyin a reasonably short time.

6.2.2 Test Element of a Mechanical IndicatingDevice

6.2.2.1 The integral test element mayconsist of thelast element of the mechanical indicating deviceinone of the two following forms:

a) A continuously moving drum bearing ascale,

b) A pointer moving over a fwed dial with ascale, or a disk with a scale moving past afixed reference mark. The diameter of thegraduated scale shall at least be 16mm.

6.2.2.2 On the numbered scale of a test elementreferred to in 6.2.2.l(b) the value of one completerevolution of the pointer shall be indicated in theform:’1 rev. = ... m3(or dm~’. The beginning of thescale shall be indicated by the figure zero.

6.2.2.3 The scale spacing shall not be leas than‘1mm’and shall be constant throughout the wholescale.

6.2.2.4 The scale interval must be in the form‘1x 10n’,‘2x 10n’,or ‘5x 10nm3’(n being a positiveor negative whole number or zero).

6.2.2.5 The scale marks shall be fine and uniformlydrawn.

In the case where scale interval is in the form‘1 x 10R’,or’2 x 10nm3’all the lines representingmultiples of 5, and where the scale interval is in theform ‘5 x 10n mx all the lines representingmultiples of 2, shall be distinguished by beinglonger than the other lines. The scale marks shallbe sufficiently thin to permit accurate and easyreading.

6.2.2.6 The test element may be provided with ascalemark which stands out in contrast to the scaleand is of sufficient size to allow automaticphotoelectric scanning. This scale mark shall notobscure the graduation and its presence shall notbe detrimental to the accuracyof reading,

6.2.3 Pulse Generator Used as Test Element

6.2.3.1 A pulse generator maybe used as atest element if it complies with therequirements of 6.2.3.2 to 6.2.3.6.

6.2.3.2 The value of one pulse, expressed in unitsof volume, shall be marked on the gas meter. Thisvalue shall comprise at least 6 significant figures,unless it is equal to an integer multiple or decimalfraction of the unit of volume indicated on the faceplate of the indicating device.

6.2.3.3 The pulsevalue shall be calculated from thetransmission ratio between the indication of the gasmeter and the location where the pulses aregenerated.

The manufacturer shall, at verification, submitdocumentation by which the calculation of thepulse value can be checked.

6.2.3.4 The gas meter shall be constructed in sucha way that, prior to initial verification, thecalculated pulse value w specified can be checkedexperimentallywith an uncertainty not greater than0.05percent.

6.2.3.5 If a removable pulse generator is used, itshall be possible to attach and remove this pulsegenerator easily.

If the gas meter needs to supply a torque to drivethe removable pulse generator, this torque shallhave a negligible influence on the performance ofthe gas meter. The removable pulse generator isconsidered to comply with this requirement if theinfluence is less than 0.1 percent at a flowrateequalto 0.1 Qmax.

6.2.3.6 Measures shall be taken to prevent thecyclicvolume of the gas meter having an influenceon the accuracyof the verification.

NOTE — This can be accomplished by counting a numberofputaea that match an integer multiple of the cyclicvolume,or bymeasuringavolumetargeenoughto makethe influencenegligible.

7 MAXIMUMPERMISSIBLE ERRORS

7.1 The values of the maximum permissible errorsare f~ed in the particular standard. They are validfor the authorized direction of flow.

7.2 If the gasmeter has two indicating devices,onereading the volume at metering conditions and theother the volume at base conditions, the values ofthe maximum permissible errors apply to theindicating device for the volume at meteringconditions.
