Sets out requirements for water meters for use in non-urban applications. It primarily covers metering for irrigation water; however, it is intended that it be used for non-urban water applications other than applications covered by AS 3565.1.
Scope
This Standard sets out requirements for water meters for use in non-urban applications. It primarily covers metering for irrigation water; however, it is intended that it be used for non-urban water applications other than applications covered by AS 3565.1.
Two types of meters are covered in this Standard, as follows:
(a) A āself-contained unitāāa meter that defines its own geometry, is able to be pattern-approved as a complete water meter, calibrated upon assembly and supplied by a single supplier.
(b) A āmodular metering systemāāa device or group of instruments (which may be supplied as a pattern-approved metering system,) that does not define the installation geometry and requires configuration after installation.
NOTES:
1 The requirements for these types of meters to demonstrate compliance with this Standard, and hence with the National Framework are described in Section 4 and illustrated in Figure 4.1.
2 Purchasing guidelines are given in Appendix A.
This Standard applies to meters that areā
(i) self-contained or modular and capable of continuously determining, within the accuracy limits, the volume of water that has flowed through them; and
(ii) continuously updating the volume on a cumulative basis.
NOTE: In this Standard a meter installation is considered to includeā
(a) the meter, its indicating device and all ancillary equipment; and
(b) the upstream and downstream pipe or emplacement that may have a material effect on the meter unit.
This Standard applies to meters that operate under the following conditions:
(A) Closed conduit under full flow.
(B) Pressure ranges minimum 0.03 MPa to a value specified by the manufacturer. As a minimum, insertion or clamp-on meters will need to have the same working pressure range as the pipes they are designed to operate in.
(C) Working water temperature range of 0.1Ā°C to 30Ā°C. The maximum admissible temperature is 50Ā°C, which is the limiting condition for the meter.
(D) Ambient air temperature range of ?5Ā°C to 55Ā°C.
(E) Ambient humidity range of 0% to 100% except for remote indicating devices where the range is 0% to 93%.
