What is BS EN IEC 62828-3 – Temperature transmitters about?
BS EN IEC 62828-3 is the third part of the IEC 62828 multi-series that discusses conditions and procedures for testing and process measurement transmitters.
BS EN IEC 62828-3 establishes specific procedures for testing temperature transmitters used in measuring and control systems for industrial processes and for machinery control systems.
When the process measurement transmitter features the temperature transmitter separated from the sensing element (RTD, TC, etc.), BS EN IEC 62828-3 applies only to the temperature transmitter without the sensing element. In the case of a device where the sensing element is fully integrated with the temperature transmitter, the standard applies to the complete device.
Note: The sensing element itself (e.g., RTD, TC, etc.), as well as radiation thermometers, are excluded from the scope of BS EN IEC 62828-3.
Who is BS EN IEC 62828-3 – Temperature transmitters for?
BS EN IEC 62828-3 on testing for temperature transmitters is useful for:
- Manufacturers of measurement transmitters
- Designers and developers of measurement transmitters
- Testing executives and laboratories
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62828-3 – Temperature transmitters?
Industrial transmitters provide accurate measurements in terms of pressure and temperature. These measurements help the operators maintain ideal conditions for production procedures. If these transmitters misread or malfunction, they would give out incorrect measurements and would compromise the production quality.
BS EN IEC 62828-3 defines the ideal conditions for testing temperature transmitters. These conditions are a simulation of the field conditions that the transmitter will endure in its operational lifecycle. BS EN IEC 62828-3 gives you a detailed account of the necessary requirements for the test methods to ensure you perform the tests accurately.
In conclusion, the guidance of BS EN IEC 62828-3 helps you to enhance the quality and functionality of the temperature transmitters by eliminating any defects or faults in the quality control stages.
What’s changed since the last update?
The IEC 62828 series cancels and replaces the IEC 60770 series and proposes revisions for the IEC 61298 series. In IEC 61298, all parts related to PMT’s will be deleted, leaving all the requirements regarding all devices but PMT’s.
