What is BS EN 61028- X-Y recorders about?
BS EN 61028 is an international standard that discusses the uses of electrical measuring instruments.
BS EN 61028 applies to X-Y recorders used for recording analogue electrical signals.
BS EN 61028 specifies requirements for X-Y recorders, which are used for the measurement of:
- A voltage or a current
- Another electrical quantity
- A non-electrical quantity
BS EN 61028 applies to recorders and their accessories having electronic devices in their measuring and auxiliary circuit(s).
BS EN 61028 also applies to non-interchangeable accessories and accessories of limited interchangeability (e.g., shunts, impedance elements, etc.) when they are used with the recorder and adjustments have been made for the combination.
Note 1: BS EN 61028 does not apply to X-t recorders. For X-Y recorders incorporating a time base, BS EN 61028 applies to the X-Y function only.
Note 2: BS EN 61028 does not apply to special purpose recorders which are covered by their own IEC standards.
Note 3: BS EN 61028 does not apply to special-purpose devices nor to interchangeable accessories which are covered by their own IEC standards when they are used as accessories.
Note 4: BS EN 61028 does not contain requirements for protection against environmental conditions or the relevant tests. If information is required on these aspects, reference should be made to IEC Publication 68.
Note 5: BS EN 61028 does not cover safety requirements. For further information, reference should be made to IEC Publication 1010.
Note 6: For controllers with electrical outputs, containing electrical recorders BS EN 61028 applies only to the recorder and does not apply to the control circuit.
Who is BS EN 61028- X-Y recorders for?
BS EN 61028 on X-Y recorders is relevant to:
- Manufacturers and designers of X-Y recorders
- Suppliers and exporters of electrical measuring instruments
- Electrical engineers and electronics engineers
- Testing authorities
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 61028- X-Y recorders?
X-Y recorder is a recorder that traces the relationship between two or more analogue electrical signals as a continuous line on two perpendicular axes of a chart. Recorders for measuring quantities other than voltage or current contain a device for converting the input quantity into a voltage or current.
If the conversion device is interchangeable and removable, BS EN 61028 applies only to the recorder, provided that the conversion function is known.
BS EN 61028 gives information on influence quantity, reference conditions, nominal range of use, and preconditioning. It assists you to verify the characteristic values of X-Y recorders.
BS EN 61028 aids the conditions for the determination of intrinsic error. BS EN 61028 provides the information, markings, and symbols mentioned on the X-Y recorders which are given by the manufacturers.
Overall, BS EN 61028 is useful as it specifies electrical measuring instruments that can be beneficial for your business and can also help you to expand your business globally.
