8.6.1 OIML R49
The WATERFLUX 3070 has a certificate of conformity with the international recommendation
OIML R49 (edition 2006). The certificate has been issued by NMi (Dutch board of weight and
measures).
The OIML R49 recommendation (2006) concerns water meters intended for the metering of cold
potable and hot water. The measuring range of the water meter is determined by Q3
(nominal flow rate) and R (ratio).
The WATERFLUX 3070 meets the requirements for water meters of accuracy class 1 and 2.
•
For accuracy class 1, the maximum permissible error for water meters is
±
1% for the upper
flow rate zone and
±
3% for the lower flow rate zones.
•
For accuracy class 2, the maximum permissible error for water meters is
±
2% for the upper
flow rate zone and
±
5% for the lower flow rate zones.
According to OIML R49, accuracy class 1 designation shall be applied only to water meters with
Q3
≥
100 m
3
/h.
Q1 = Q3 / R
Q2 = Q1 * 1.6
Q3 = Q1 * R
Q4 = Q3 * 1.25
