What is BS EN 14236 about?
BS EN 14236 discusses ultrasonic domestic gas meters. BS EN 14236 provides requirements and tests for the construction, performance, and safety for ultrasonic domestic gas meters. BS EN 14236 applies to meters where the measuring element and the register(s) are enclosed.
BS EN 14236 applies to meters with and without built-in temperature conversion, that are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance and in closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection as specified by the manufacturer) with condensing or with non-condensing humidity. Or, if specified by the manufacturer, open locations (outdoor without any covering) with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity and in locations with electromagnetic disturbances.
Who is BS EN 14236 for?
BS EN 14236 on ultrasonic domestic gas meters is useful for:
- Gas meter manufacturers
- Petrochemical firms and gas distributors
- Quality control personnel
- Inspection bodies
- Utility providers
Why should you use BS EN 14236?
Ultrasonic gas meters deliver many advantages; including precision, dramatically reduced wear and tear, and compatibility with advanced, smart gas metering infrastructure. BS EN 14236 provides you with the requirements and tests for the construction, performance and safety of class 1,0 and class 1,5 battery-powered ultrasonic gas meters having a co-axial single pipe, or two pipe connections, used to measure volumes of distributed fuel gases of the second and/or third family, as given in EN 437, at maximum working pressures not exceeding 0,5 bar1) and maximum actual flow rates of up to 10 m3/h over a minimum ambient temperature range of -10 °C to +40 °C, and minimum gas temperature span of 40 K, for domestic applications.
BS EN 14236 helps you in improving the performance and safety of your ultrasonic gas meters and helping you in generating accurate consumption bills.
