Our fully automated and semi-automated testing benches test the maximum pressure and temperature of bulk water meters (DN 25 to DN 200 and DN 15-50).
The testing process is facilitated by software that communicates with a special processor unit by serial RS 232 or a LAN connection. The processor (located in the electrical box) reads data from the sensors and controls valves, pumps, diverters, pulse form master meters and tested meters.
The testing benches can be used for:
- Mechanical water meters
- Electromagnetic flow meters
- Ultrasonic flow meters
- Coriolis mass flow meters
- Other flow meters
Our test benches have a flow rate up to 630 m3/h. Bench components that come in contact with water are made of stainless steel, brass or resistant plastics.
The testing benches are equipped with turning end pieces to position meters upside down. This promotes deaeration of the testing line. To ensure effective testing, we recommend evacuating the system beforehand.
Test benches are modular. Their assemblies can comprise:
- Test bench with testing table, adjusting part and weighing assembly (connection to external water source required)
- Test bench with supplementary pump assembly and flow conditioner
- Complete test bench including main storage tank (only room and electrical power is required)
- Systems for reading tested meters
