EN 14268:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard applies to meters fitted to irrigation machines and networks. The
20、se meters are used to meter the actual volume of irrigation water flowing through a fully charged, closed pipe, in order to manage consumption, and to invoice the volume of water distributed. Irrigation water is likely to contain mineral and organic particles. 2 Normative references The following re

It comprises the letters DN followed by a whole number without units, which is indi

It can be based on a mechanical, an electrical or an electronic principle. It may be autonomous or use an external power so
43、urce NOTE For the purposes of this definition, the measurement transducer includes the flow or volume sensor. EN 14268:2005 (E) 7 3.23 calculator part of the meter that receives the output signals from the transducer(s) and, possibly, from associated measuring instruments, transforms them and, if ap

In addition, the calculator may be capable of communicating both ways with peripheral equipment 3.24 indicating device part of the meter which displays the measurement results either continuously or on demand NOTE A printing device that pr
45、ovides an indication at the end of the measurement is not an indicating device. 4 Technical characteristics 4.1 General specifications A water meter measures continuously, memorises and displays the integrated volume of water passing through the measurement transducer. NOTE A water meter includes at
46、 least a measurement transducer, a calculator and an indicating device. The manufacturer shall specify in his instruction manual the conditions in which the meter can operate in the event of reversal of the flow direction. Other ancillary functions of output and reception of information (remote read
47、ing, prepayment etc.) may be included provided they do not affect the performance of the meters as defined in this European Standard. The meter will preferably be designed in such a way as to present as little obstacle as possible to the water flow and any solid materials it may transport. The meter
48、 shall be designed such that its operation cannot be affected by a magnetic field as defined in 6.1.3. 4.2 Rated operating conditions Rated operating conditions are given below: a) Ambient temperature (Tamb): 0,1 C Tamb 400 MPa; Module of elasticity: 12 GPa; Wetting (immersion time): 90 s; Thickness
