SITRANS F M MAG 8000

1. Introduction

1.2 Manufacturer’s
design and safety
statement

•

Responsibility for the choice of lining and electrode materials as regards abrasion and
corrosion resistance lies with the purchaser; the effect of any change in process medium
during the operating of the meter should be taken into account. Incorrect selection of lining
and/or electrode materials could lead to a failure of the meter.

•

Stresses and loading caused by earthquakes, traffic, high winds and fire damage are not
taken into account during meter design.

•

Do not install the meter such that it acts as a focus for pipeline stresses. External loading is
not taken into account during meter design.

•

During operation do not exceed the pressure and/or temperature ratings indicated on the data
label or in this Operating Manual.

•

It is recommended that all installations include an appropriate safety valve and adequate
means for draining/venting.

•

Under the “Pressure Equipment Directive” (PED) this product is a pressure accessory and
not approved for use as a safety accessory, as defined by the PED.

•

Removal of the terminal box except by Siemens Flow Instruments A/S or their approved
agents will invalidate the PED conformity of the product.
In accordance with “Pressure Equipment Directive” (97/23/EC).

Battery operation:
• Pulse output and RS 232/RS 485 add-on modules must be connected to equipment
complying with Low Voltage Directive (LVD) in order to be considered safe. The isolation
within MAG 8000 pulse output is only a functional isolation.
•

Lithium batteries are primary power sources with high energy content. They are designed to
meet the highest possible safety standard. They may, however, present a potential hazard
if they are abused electrically or mechanically. This is in most circumstances associated with
the generation of excessive heat, where increased internal pressure may cause the cell to
rupture.
Thus the following basic precautions should be observed when handling and using lithium
batteries:
− Do not short-circuit, recharge, overcharge or connect with false polarity.
− Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or incinerate the
battery.
− Do not crush, puncture or open cells or disassemble battery packs.
− Do not weld or solder to the body of the battery.
− Do not expose contents to water.

•

Lithium batteries are regulated under United Nations Model Regulations on Transport of
Dangerous goods, UN document ST/SGAC.10-1, 12th revised edition, 2001. UN no. 3091
class 9 covers lithium batteries packed with or inside the equipment. UN no. 3090 class 9
covers transportation of batteries on their own.
Thus the following basic precautions should be followed when transporting lithium batteries:
− Transport only in special packaging with special labels and transportation documents.
− Exercise caution in handling, transportation and packaging in order to prevent short
circuiting of the batteries.
− The gross mass of the package is limited according to the type of transportation.
In general, a gross mass below 5 kg is acceptable for all forms of transportation.

•

Remove the battery from transmitter before returning the flowmeter to Siemens for service or
warranty claim.

2. Installation

Installation

Please note sensor flow direction.

2.1 Mechanical installation

Flow direction

If the process flow direction is opposite of the
sensor’s flow direction label, forward flow rates
can be restored via software parameter FT327,
customer adjusting factor to “-1“.

Inlet and outlet condition

To achieve most accurate flow measurement it
is essential to have minimum straight lengths of
the inlet and outlet pipes as shown.
(Di: sensor diameter).

Horizontal pipes

Installation in horizontal pipes.
The sensor must be mounted as shown in the
upper figure. Do not mount the sensor as shown
in the lower figure. This will position the
electrodes at the top where there is possibility
for air bubbles and at the bottom where there is
possibility for mud, sludge, sand etc.
If using “Empty Pipe Detection”, the sensor
should be tilted 45° as shown in the upper
figure to maximize full pipe detection and
provide accurate volume calculations.
Note
Physical installation of the battery pack may
influence the battery capacity. Optimal battery
capacity is achieved with the battery pack in
an upright position. The marked installation
examples with the dotted cross will affect the
battery capacity.

Vertical pipes

Recommended installation is in a vertical/inclined pipe to minimize the wear and deposits in
the sensor.

SFIDK.PS.026.D8.02

SITRANS F M MAG 8000

2. Installation

Installation in large pipes

The water meter can be installed between two
reducers (e.g. DIN 28545). With an 8° reducer,
the following pressure drop curve applies. The
curves are applicable to water.

Example:
A flow velocity of 3 m/s (10 ft./sec.) (V) in a
sensor with a diameter reduction from DN 100
to DN 80 (4" to 3") (d1/d2 = 0.8) gives a pressure
drop of 2.9 mbar (0.04 psi).

Installation instructions

The sensor must always be completely full with
liquid.

Therefore avoid:
• Air in the pipe
• Installation at the highest point in the pipe
system
• Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet.

For partially filled pipes or pipes with downward
flow and free outlet, the flowmeter should be
located in a U-tube.

SFIDK.PS.026.D8.02

SITRANS F M MAG 8000

2. Installation

Installation instructions
(continued)

Gaskets are installed and connection flange
must have a smooth surface and be in line with
the sensor. Gaskets are recommended, but are
not included with the flowmeter.
Advice for gasket selection:
• Only use flat, rubber gaskets.
• Thickness 1...6 mm (0.0...0.02 ft) dependant
on gap/tolerance.
• The inner diameter must not protrude into the
bore of the flowmeter.
• The material should be compatible with the
process fluid.
• The hardness should be maximum Durometer
of 75 Shore A.

Potential equalization

Liquid potential equalization or grounding is
accomplished with the built-in grounding
electrodes. The electrodes electrically bond
the liquid to the meter to provide a stable and
accurate measurement.

Bonding & grounding

The sensor body must be grounded using
grounding/bonding straps and/or grounding
rings to protect the flow signal against stray
electrical noise and/or lightning. This ensures
that the noise is carried through the sensor
body and a noise-free measuring area within
the sensor body.
Metal pipelines
On metal pipelines, connect the straps to both
flanges with 6 mm (1/4”) screws. Bonding/
grounding straps are not included with the
flowmeter.
Plastic pipelines
On plastic pipelines and lined metal pipes,
optional grounding rings must be used at both
ends.
Grounding rings is not included in the delivery.

Combination of metal and plastic pipelines
A combination of metal and plastic requires
straps for metal pipeline and grounding rings
for plastic pipeline.
Bonding/grounding straps, grounding rings and
straps are not included with the sensor.
All straps or grounding wires should be #12
AWG (or heavier) copper wire and connected
with 6 mm screws.

SFIDK.PS.026.D8.02

SITRANS F M MAG 8000

2. Installation

Cathodic protected piping

Special attention for meter installation in
cathodic protected pipeline.
Isolate the meter from the pipeline by mounting
isolation Sleeves and Washers on the flange
bolts and connect a wire between the pipelines,
dimensioned to manage the cathodic current
and environmental influence.

Remote sensor is protected to IP68/NEMA 6P
and can be buried.

Suggestions for direct
burial of remote sensor

The use of pea gravel, at least 300 mm (12
inches) all around the sensor, is recommended.
This provides some drainage and prevents dirt
from solidifying on the sensor.
It also helps locate the sensor should excavation
be necessary. Before covering the pea gravel
with earth, we suggest using electrical cable
identification tape above the gravel.
Remote sensor cable should be run through a
plastic conduit of 50 mm (2 inches) minimum.
Standard bolts must be well lubricated and
tightened evenly around the gasket. Leakage/
damage to the flowmeter or piping may arise if
bolts are overtightened.

Maximum allowable
torques

Torque calculations
All values are theoretical and are calculated
making the following assumptions:
• All bolts are new and material selection is
according to EN 1515-1 table 2.
• Gasket material not exceeding 75 shore A
durometer is used between the flowmeter
and mating flanges.
• All bolts are galvanized and adequately
lubricated.
• The values are calculated for use with carbon steel flanges.
• Flowmeter and mating flanges are correctly
aligned.

and some meter sizes have a factor included to secure the 8 digit display value will not overrun
after short time of operation. A sticker and manual configuration of units also allows selection of
new units.
Changing units via PC software program Flow Tool:

•
•
•

Select service mode and meter version – upload data from the meter
Open the transmitter, remove the battery (still connected) and attached the hardware lock to
the PCB board
Change units description in parameter FT8 and FT9
Change units factor in parameter FT300 and FT301
Change the maximum flow rate Qn (Q3) to the new unit selection FT10
Select unit display FT306
Download each parameter to the meter, remove the hardware key and re-assemble the meter.

The service mode opens many parameters which, if changed, can seriously affect the meter
accuracy and operation. Care must be exercised when writing new parameter values, as the
meter has no default setting to return to.

4.2 Output configuration

Pulse output can be configured as volume pulse, alarm or call-up. Default factory setting is with
output A enabled for forward flow and output B for alarm output. Other output function and pulse
settings may be ordered by selecting the -Z option in the MLFB ordering structure.

Output A and B as pulse
volume

When outputs A or B are configured as volume
per pulse, the output delivers a pulse when the
preset volume has passed the sensor in the
selected direction, and is calculated based on
Forward/Reverse or Net Forward/Reverse flow.
The volume per pulse is freely scalable, from
0.000001 to 10,000 units per pulse, and should
not exceed the pulse rate of the output configuration table.
If volume per pulse is set too low the limitation
of the pulse output rate could cause a pulse
overrun alarm.

PR = pulse rate, PF = pulse frequency and
PW = pulse width

Output B as alarm output

When output B is configured as an „alarm“
output, it will follow the internal alarms that
were previously chosen in the Alarm Configuration List.
Note - the alarm output is inverted to a pulse
output providing an alarm should power disappear or the cable connection becomes interrupted.
When output B is configured as “call-up”, the
output is activated by an alarm condition and
remains on until it is reset via the meter display
key or communication interface.

Output B as call-up output

A new alarm will not activate a “call-up” function
if the “call-up” function is still active from a
previous alarm.
Note - like the alarm output, the call-up output
inverts to a pulse output providing a call-up
should power disappear or the cable connection becomes interrupted.

PW = pulse width

Note
Display volume for 5 ms pulse width is based on a basic version with maximum 50 Hz pulse output
rate.
For the advanced version, with maximum 100 Hz pulse rate, the pulse volume values can be
reduced to half.
The calculated numbers of pulses are an average of the measuring period.

Net flow output

The MAG 8000 has a special net pulse output that includes bi-directional flow calculations.
The example shows that over time, the net pulse output indicates the bi-directional totalizer as
calculated internally.
The same principle applies for forward and reverse flow calculation. By changing the status of
the pulse output, the internal pulse calculator will be reset.

SITRANS F M MAG 8000

5. Operation

The meter is designed with a single key and a
symbolic display for optimal dialog. A PC software
program is available on the internet to simulate
the display and key operation of MAG 8000.

Operation

5.1.1 Meter operation via
key and display

Display
The display is divided into 3 areas.
Top area with symbols for status information.
Middle area with actual information, and the
bottom area with index for actual information and
the selected menu. Some of the information has
additional information connected and the display
will automatically toggle between the information
(see display overview). After 10 minutes without
pressing the key, the display will time-out and go
back to the default configured operator menu.
Key
There are three different ways the interface key
will respond to being pressed: Briefly pressing
the key for less than 2 seconds will advance the
screen to the next index or menu; pressing the
key for 2 to 5 seconds will enter a menu or
escape the menu selection; pressing the key
for longer than 5 seconds while in the (−)
operator menu will activate a reset of the
selected value (e.g., totalizer or call-up function)
indicated by an “r”. A flashing “r” indicates
activation of reset. Under power up can the time
and date be set up and a “A” will indicated a
acceptable value has been selected and will
be stored when flashing.
The status information symbols show the actual
operation of the meter.

5.1.2 Display symbols

The tariff symbol shows the actual accounting
tariff. In the operator menu, the tariff value will
change to “r“ if the information is resetable, like
index “5“ - customer totalizer 3.
The alarm symbol is active when an alarm is
active and independently of the alarm output
configuration.
The empty pipe symbol indicates an empty
pipe condition. To conserve power and prevent
false readings due to exposed measurement
electrodes, flow measurement is disabled until
a full pipe is detected and the symbol has disappeared.
The type of power supply is automatically
detected by the meter. When mains power is
supplied, the plug symbol is shown. When
powered by batteries, the battery symbol is
shown while also indicates remaining battery
capacity - see section 5.2. “Operation menu“
index 1 for more information.
The menu bar icons indicate the actual selected
menu and the related index for the selected
information. The display overview shows relation between menu, index and information.
Only the (−) operator menu has information and
functions that can be reset. Under the power up
function, battery power can be preset to 100%
capacity and time and date can be adjusted - an
“A” in the index shows acceptable values. The
end of each menu index shows possible menu
selections.

•

Totalizer 2 (Index 2)

•

Flow rate (Index 3, updated with selected measuring frequency)

•

Fault codes (Index 4)

•

Customer totalizer (Index 5 - resetable)

Default information is shown after power up and after no key operation for 10 minutes.
Flow tool parameter FT130 defines the accessible menus on the display with selection off:
• Operator menu
•

Meter info menu

•

Service menu

•

Data logger menu

•

Statistic and leakage menu

•

Revenue menu

Disabling display of the menu data will not affect the operation of the functions.

Internal data handling

Meter status

The meter status parameter (FT120) gives a fast indication of the reliability of the revenue data.
It shows whether important information has been reset or manipulated, for instance if the meter
has been powered down.
The status information can only be reset via the Flow Tool service mode while the hardware lock
key is attached.

SFIDK.PS.026.D8.02

SITRANS F M MAG 8000

5. Operation

Data logger /
Consumption alarm

The integrated data logger has 26 logging periods where data can be stored daily, weekly or
monthly.
The logger stores the real consumption for totalizer 1 and totalizer 2 in the selected period.
Forward calculated consumption is stored as positive values and reverse calculated consumption
is stored as negative values.
Alarm and meter status are also stored for the same period to indicate the alarm that has been
active or revenue data has been influenced in the specific period.
The logged information has a time & date stamp
and the data logger never stops storing data old data is overwritten following the first in/first
out principle. Log 1 is the last stored information,
that is moved to log 2 when the next logging is
made and so on.
The consumption alarm monitors whether the
actual consumption on totalizer 1 is above or
below the consumption limits.

5. Operation

5.4

The MAG 8000 is factory configured for 6 years of typical operation on the internal battery pack.
High or low temperature, frequent use of IrDA communication, high pulse output rate, and high
excitation frequency in leakage detection mode will reduce actual operation time. The MAG 8000
power management function controls each power consuming element and measures the temperature for optimal calculation of remaining battery power capacity.

Operation on battery
power

5.4.1 Battery indication

The battery power capacity for operation is
indicated in 3 levels.

Status and alarm

• Full symbol indicates the battery capacity is
above the battery alarm level (% preset
parameter FT206).
• Low symbol indicates that the battery should
be replaced; however, the measurement
will remain active. The level is based on a
preset alarm level.
• When the low symbol is flashing the measurement and communication is disabled
until the battery pack has been replaced and
reset.
The “Low battery” is a selectable % parameter
(FT206) of 100% full capacity. The meter calculates the remaining capacity every four hours,
including all consuming elements and influence of change in temperature.

Battery configuration

The battery figure (generated as customer parameter list - see section 4 “Commissioning”) shows
power management information.
At each new battery replacement the capacity is reset to 100% (Flow Tool parameter FT508FT510) which is then reduced with the real meter consumption each 4 hours.
The battery limit (FT206) is the level where the low power alarm is activated and generates an
alarm or call up (if configured).
Power status (FT513) follows the battery symbol on the display.
When changing battery power from internal to external battery packs, or visa versa, “Battery
power” (FT507) must be adjusted to match the actual number of batteries connected.

The battery operation time depends on the connected battery pack as well as the operation
conditions of the meter. Every 4 hours the advanced power management system calculates the
real power consumption and remaining operation capacity.
The power consumption calculation includes flow measurement, meter dialog (communication
and display) and pulse output.
The temperature is also measured to control and adjust its influence on the battery capacity.
The internal battery pack has a nominal capacity of 33 Ah giving a typical operation time of 6 years
in a revenue application. The nominal capacity of external battery packs is 66 Ah and the
operation time is limited to the lifetime of the batteries - typically 10 years. Configuration and
operation conditions for a typical revenue application is shown in the table.
The typical operation time of 6 years is based on only 80% battery capacity and an operation time/
temperature profile of 5% @ 0 °C/32 °F, 80% @ 15 °C/59 °F and 15% @ 50 °C/122 °F.
The leakage detection, in the advance version, will affect the battery operation time if a higher
excitation frequency is selected during leakage period.
The effect from other temperatures can be seen from the figure.
A variation in temperature from 15 °C to 55 °C (59 °F to 131 °F) reduces the capacity by 17%.
(In the table from 15 Ah to 12½ Ah).
Note
Physical installation of the battery pack may
influence the battery capacity. Optimal battery
capacity is achieved with the battery pack in
an upright position.

5. Operation

5.4.3 Installation and
replacement of
batteries

Position 1-2
Remove the top of the transmitter.
Position 3-4 (only replacement)
Dispose of the silicagel bag. Check the O-ring for damage or deformity. To ensure the continued
IP68 enclosure rating replace the O-ring and smear the O-ring with an acid free lubricating gel.
Position 5-8
Remove the battery pack by pushing the locking tab and loosen the strip. Take the battery pack
out with power connected, place and secure the new battery pack.
Place the new silicagel pack on top of the battery pack, after removing the plastic bag. The silicagel
prevents condensation within the meter.
Position 9-10
Connect the battery pack. After each power up the meter asks if a new battery has been installed
and the internal battery calculation has to be reset. As this information will come soon after the
power has been connected the wire nail or display key must be activated to reset the battery. The
battery Reset will reset the operating time calculate and ensure the correct indication of the
remaining battery capacity. After resetting the battery capacity can date and time be adjusted see section 5.2 “Operator menu“ index 4 for more information.
Position 11
Replace the top lid and if necessary, adjust the time and the date via the Flow Tool.
Battery disposal
Disposal of used batteries is regulated under The European Community (EC) two directives, 91/
157/EEC and 93/86/EEC. These directives are implemented by each member country of the EC
independently and in a different way - please contact Siemens for specific regional rules for
disposal of batteries.
For batteries bought from Siemens, a disposal service is offered upon customer request. A
Technical Notice with further recommendations is available upon request.
Package containing used batteries shall bear the inscription: “USED LITHIUM CELLS“.

5. Operation

5.4.4 Power up with
battery reset, date
and time set up

After installing new batteries, the power up procedure will enable a reset of the battery capacity
calculation and the setup of date and time. Battery capacity reset, date, and time can also be
corrected via functions FT508 and FT200.
When the battery plug is connected, the meter will display the meter version for 10 seconds. The
display will then show “rESEt.bAt” indicating the option to reset the internal battery power
calculation. To execute the reset, press the key within 6 seconds. If the key is not pressed, the
meter will proceed to the set date and set clock and finally normal operation mode.
If the key is pressed within the reset battery time, the display will indicate “Accept“ to ensure that
the reset should take place. The reset function will take place only if the key is pressed again within
the next 6 seconds. If not, normal operation will begin.
For setting up the date and time, the different key function must be used - see section 5.2 „Operator
menu“ index 1. An “A“ indicates an acceptable value and a flashing “A“ indicates the value is
stored when the key if released.
The reset function also sets the actual date as the battery replacement date.

SFIDK.PS.026.D8.02

SITRANS F M MAG 8000

6. Verification

Verification mode increases the measurement
frequency to provide maximum measurements
per second. This function is especially useful to
minimize calibration rig time when validating
the flowmeter’s accuracy. The frame around
the digits will blink slowly to indicate verification
mode is enabled. The maximum pulse rate on
output A is increased to 1 kHz and the pulse
width is set to 1 ms. After the verification mode,
the previous pulse setting is restored. Another
pulse width than 1 ms can be selected by
storing new pulse values. This setting remains
after the verification mode is finished.
Verification mode can be activated in two ways:
1) Via the Flow Tool (FT320)
2) By pushing the switch on the transmitter
PCB through the hole labeled “V“ on the
front shield.
Verification mode stops automatically after 4
hours of operation. Verification mode can also
be aborted manually via the Flow Tool (FT320).

7. Service

7.1

The MAG 8000 electromagnetic water meter is based on a very reliable measurement technology
and the advanced alarm monitoring and diagnostics provides valuable information concerning
the meter performance, faults, and service conditions.

MAG 8000 service
guidelines

Optimal meter performance requires proper meter selection, proper installation, and proper
commissioning for the particular application. This service guideline section indicates how to
detect and solve the most common problems. Meter and application problems are indicated by
the alarm program via the main fault and warning symbol on the display and the comprehensive
data logging and monitoring available via the communication interface.
Alarm monitoring includes individual registration of each alarm, how many hours the alarm has
been active, when the alarm first appeared, and when it disappeared last. The alarm log can be
reset with its own date and time registration. A common fault hour counter includes all active
alarms in one counter. Additionally, active alarms are logged in the data logger to monitor when
the alarms have been activated.
Fatal faults 1 through 4 are the most important to resolve as they influence the operation of the
meter. Fatal faults will disappear as soon the alarm condition is corrected.

alarm and start a new insulation test.
During the 4 minute insulation test, the measurement is disabled.
The function is re-activated via FT800.
-> Check cable and wiring installation and disturbing elements in the

Coil circuit is interrupted. The alarm is active until the fault condition
is corrected.
-> Check cable and wiring installation.
The flow input signal is outside of the expected range and the input
amplifier circuit can not provide a stable measurement. The alarm
is active until the fault condition is corrected.
-> Check cable and wiring installation.
All data is checked after operation (e.g., new flow calculation,
writing to the EEprom, etc.) with a checksum control. If the
checksum result fails, data will not be considered as valid and
repair data must be made. The alarm is active until the fault
condition is corrected.
-> Reset checksum repair alarm via FT560 and check the data.
If data is wrong or checksum error reoccurs, replace the PCB
board.

Indication of wrong setting or application issues
Battery voltage is below 2 volts or battery capacity is below the low
power % limit (set as customer parameter FT206). When low
voltage is detected, flow measurement and communication will stop,
but the display will remain active as long as some power is
available. The alarm remains active until the fault condition is
resolved.
-> Check the calculated battery capacity (FT510) versus the
battery alarm limit (FT206) and replace batteries as necessary.
Flow rate through the meter is 25% above Qn (Q3) and the meter
stops counting at 125% flow. The alarm remains active until the
fault condition is resolved.
-> Check the sizing of the meter for the current installation.
The pulse rate is higher than the pulse output can deliver.
Reminder: the basic version is limited to 50 Hz maximum; the
advanced version is limited to 100 Hz maximum. The alarm
remains active until the output pulse rate drops below the maximum pulse rate.
-> Change volume per pulse to a higher value - see section 8
“Technical data“ for pulse selection.
The data logged consumption on totalizer 1 has exceed the too low
or too high consumption limit. The alarm remains active until it is
manually reset by FT209.
-> Check data logger values and consumption limit.
The lowest flow rate or volume during leakage period has
exceeded the leakage detection settings. The alarm is active until
it is manually reset by FT208. An alarm reset (similar to leakage
period reset FT820) will reset information for the selected function.
-> Check setting and pipe installation.
The measured electrode impedance is above the empty pipe level
(FT540 & FT541 & FT334). The alarm remains active until the fault
condition is resolved.
-> Make sure the sensor is filled with water.
The electrode impedance is below the low media impedance
(FT542) - meaning the water has a high conductivity. The alarm is
active until the resistance in the water is above the low media
alarm limit.
The flow rate is greater than the flow alarm limit (FT553).
The alarm remains active until the flow rate drops below the flow
alarm limit.

Note
A reset of the fault log (FT204) also resets all alarms. Once reset, only active alarms become
visible again.

The MAG 8000 has a built-in flow simulator (FT551 & FT552) to verify and adjust the pulse output
to any connected device or system.

Flow simulation

Warning
Totalized values are changed during the simulation and actual flow is NOT measured.
Simulation continues until manually turned off (normal operation restored).
7.3

Replace a transmitter or PCB board

Since the MAG 8000 does not have a removable SENSORPROM (EEprom), special care must
be taken when replacing a damaged or defective transmitter or PCB board to ensure proper
operation and continued accuracy. There are three ways to achieve an easy and successful
replacement:
1) Order a complete transmitter as a spare part, which comes configured the same way as the
original meter left the factory. The system serial number of the original meter must be provided
when ordering the replacement.
2) Order a complete transmitter as a spare part with default settings and a blank product label.
Final configuration is done on-site. Missing data and configuration can be uploaded from the
old meter or it can be read from the old meter product label.
3) Order only a replacement PCB board. The PCB board can only be order a an advanced
version and only with default settings. When making the configuration on site, the service
mode must be selected in the Flow Tool and the Hardware key must be attached to the PCB
board to change important parameters.

8. Technical data

8.3 Meter uncertainty

To ensure continuously accurate measurements, water meters must be periodically calibrated.
Calibration is performed at Siemens flow facilities, which are accredited according to ISO/IEC
17025 by DANAK and UKAS.
The accreditation bodies, DANAK and UKAS, have signed the ILAC MRA agreement (International
Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation - Mutual Recognition Arrangement). This accreditation
ensures international traceability and recognition of the test results in 39 countries world-wide,
including NIST traceability in the United States.
The selected calibration determines the accuracy of the water meter. A standard calibration
results in max. ±0.4% of rate ±0.2 mm/s uncertainty and an extended calibration results in a max.
±0.2% of rate ±0.2 mm/s (pending). A calibration certificate is included with every sensor and
calibration data is stored within the meter.

Sizing table
DN 25...DN 1200 (1"...48")

The table shows the relationship between flow velocity V, flow quantity Q and sensor dimension
DN (size).
Guidelines for selection of sensor
Min. measuring range: 0-0.25 m/s (0-0.8 ft/sec.)
Max. measuring range: 0-10 m/s (0-33 ft/sec.)
Normally the sensor is selected so that V lies within the measuring range 1-2 m/s (3-7 ft/sec.).

Flow velocity calculation formula:
V =

1273.24 x Q [l/s]
DN2 [mm]

[m/s] or V =

353.68 x Q [m3/h]
DN2 [mm]

[m/s]

Flow velocity calculation formula:
GPM = (Pipe I.D. inches)2 x velocity (ft/sec.) x 2.448
V =
