1、Designation: E3137/E3137M 17Standard Specification forHeat Meter Instrumentation1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3137/E3137M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe

2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification defines general specifications for heatmeters. Heat meters are instruments that measure heat in heatexchange circuits in

3、which energy is absorbed (cooling) orgiven up (heating) by a flowing liquid.1.2 For this specification, the necessary elements of a heatmeter consist of a sensor to measure flow of the heat-conveyingliquid, a pair of temperature sensors that measure the tempera-ture differential across the heat exch

4、ange circuit, and a devicethat receives input from the flow and temperature sensors andcalculates energy.1.3 Electrical safety is not a part of this specification.1.4 Mechanical safety (including pressure safety) is not apart of this specification.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pou

5、nd unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to ad

6、dress all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was dev

Significance and Use4.1 This document is based, in part, on OIML R 75-1Edition 2002, Heat meters Part 1: General requirements andOIML R 75-2 Edition 2002, Heat meters Part 2: Type approvaltests and initial verification tests. R 75 is

37、an InternationalRecommendation published by OIML. International Recom-mendations are model regulations that establish the metrologi-cal characteristics required of certain measuring instrumentsand which specify methods and equipment for checking theirconformity. As an OIML Member State, The United S

38、tates isobligated to utilize these recommendations, where possible,when developing standards that meet the needs of the marketand may result in either terminology or definitions specific tothis standard and deviations in standard form and style.5. Using this Specification5.1 This specification is in

39、tended to provide both manufac-turers and users of heat meters with important information.5.2 Manufacturers will use this specification to certify thattheir products conform to industry standards for accuracy,performance, and reliability.5.3 End users and specifying engineers will use this speci-fic

40、ation as a guide in understanding how heat meters aredefined based on performance and accuracy classifications forflow, temperature, and energy. They will also use this specifi-cation to ensure that the meter will be suitable for use in theoperating environment in which it will be installed.5.4 End

41、users are strongly encouraged to review carefullythe requirements of their specific application and then select aheat meter that will meet their needs based on the followingcriteria:5.4.1 Flow Sensor Accuracy ClassClass 1, Class 2, orClass 3;5.4.2 Lower Limit of the Temperature Difference Range1,2,

42、or 3 K 1.8, 3.6, or 5.4F; and5.4.3 Environmental ClassA, B, C, or D.5.5 Overall accuracy of the heat meter is defined as theadditive maximum permissible errors (MPE) of the flowsensor, the temperature sensor pair, and the heat calculator. SeeSection 7 for additional information on maximum permissibl

43、eerrors.5.6 Flow Sensors:5.6.1 The three flow sensor accuracy classes are Class 1,Class 2, or Class 3. In each class, the accuracy is determined bythe MPE at the manufacturers stated minimum (Qi) andmaximum permanent flow rate (Qp). See 8.2 for additionalinformation on flow sensor operating limits.5

44、.6.2 The MPE for each flow sensor varies with the flowsensor accuracy class and the ratio of the Qpto the actualoperating flow rate (Q). This is the turndown for the sensor.When selecting a flow sensor, it is necessary to identify first themaximum flow rate for the application. This maximum flowrate

45、 shall be compared to the upper flow limit (Qs) and the Qpas stated by the flow meter manufacturer for the flow sensorunder consideration. Next, identify the minimum flow rate forthe application. Compare this value to the Qias stated by theflow meter manufacturer. Flow sensors should be selected tha

46、twill operate within these upper and lower flow limits. Once theupper and lower flow limits are defined (turndown), theaccuracy limits by class can be determined from Table 1.5.6.3 Table 1 shows the range of allowable error (Ef) for theflow sensor by class and turndown range for use in MPEequations

47、in 8.3. For clarity, turndown is expressed as Qp/QiinTable 1.5.7 Temperature Sensor Pairs and Heat Calculator:5.7.1 The MPE of the temperature sensor pair is a functionof the lower limit of the temperature difference as described in9.4 and 9.5. The three lower limits for the temperaturedifference ra

48、nge are 1, 2, and 3 K 1.8, 3.6, or 5.4F. As withthe flow sensor, the highest percentage measurement error willoccur at the minimum operating level. In this case, it is thelowest differential temperature.5.7.2 The heat calculator MPE is also defined by the lowerlimit of the temperature difference ran

49、ge (1, 2, or 3 K) asdescribed in 10.4. As is the case with the temperature sensorpair, the highest percentage measurement error will occur at theminimum temperature differential.5.7.3 When selecting a temperature sensor pair, it is neces-sary to identify the minimum and maximum operating tem-peratures for the application and confirm that they fall withinthe operating limits of the individual temperature sensors.Next, identify and compare the maximum and minimumtemperature difference for the application with the upper l
