Copyright 02000 American Gas Association, All Rights Reserve i STDeAGA BLOS-Z-ENGL 2000 700883b 0001354 870 PREFACE This publication represents a basic standard for safe operation, and substantial and durable construction for diaphragm-type gas displacement meters having a gas flow rating

16、 of 500 cubic feet per hour capacity (14.16 m3h) and over at 0.5 inch water column (125 Pa) differential pressure at standard conditions. This work is the result of years of experience, supplemented by extensive research. The standard is designed to help ensure efficient performance and substantial

17、construction of equipment. It is recognized that during any transition period to the metric system, sizes and dimensions need to be expressed in either the metric system or the inch-pound system or in both. In this document, both systems are used, with the inch-pound units given preference. In most

18、cases, a soft conversion from existing inch-pound values is shown. Soft conversion implies a change in nomenclature only; in this document, the alternative nomenclatures (metric and inch-pound) are shown by using parentheses and can be used interchangeably. Hard conversion is used to express metric

19、values in (closely equivalent) round inch-pound units. Bracketed values are not to be used interchangeably with the corresponding metric values. Nothing in this standard is to be considered as in any way indicating a measure of quality beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designe

20、d to allow the construction and performance of displacement meters that may exceed the various provisions specified in any respect. In its preparation, recognition was intended to be given to the possibility of improvement through ingenuity of design. As progress takes place, revisions may become ne

21、cessary. When they are believed desirable, recommendations should be forwarded to the Chairman of ANSI B109 Committee, Operating and Engineering Section, American Gas Association, 400 North Capitol Street, NW, 4Ih Floor, Washington, DC 20001, U.S.A. Users of this document should consult applicable f

22、ederal, state and local regulations. The American Gas Association (AGA) does not, by the publication of this document, intend to present specifications that are not in compliance with applicable rules, and this document may not be construed as doing so. NOTICE: This American National Standard may be

23、 revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of publication. When any revisions are deemed advisable, recommendations shoul

24、d be forwarded to the American Gas Association. A form is included for that purpose at the end of this standard.

27、nted to develop a standard covering gas displacement meters with capacities of 500 cubic feet per hour and over. Six drafts of the standard were prepared and reviewed by the subcommittee before a final draft was prepared and submitted to American National Standards Committee BI09 for its considerati

28、on on June 14, 1979. Subsequent to adoption by the committee, the first edition of the standard for gas displacement meters (500 cubic feet per hour capacity and over) was approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute, Inc., on April 14, 1980. The second edit

29、ion was approved on January 9, 1987, and included a new part on auxiliary devices for gas meters, plus M informative Appendix on bar coding. In the third edition. minor editorial changes and a title correction were made. The third edition was approved on November 12, 1992. This is the fourth edition

30、 of standard B109.2, in which several additionddeletions have been made to avoid any ambiguity, to make it more consistent and to improve upon some requirements. Substantive changes have been shown by a bar I J in the margin. V STD-AGA BIOS-2-ENGL 2000 I 300883b 000L35b b43 W ACCREDITED STANDARDS CO
