What is BS EN 61987-13 – Pressure measuring equipment about?
BS EN 61987-13 is the 13th part of the IEC 61987 multi-series that discusses industrial process measurement and control.
BS EN 61987-13 provides an:
- Operating list of properties (OLOP) for the description of the operating parameters and the collection of requirements for a pressure measuring equipment, and
- Device lists of properties (DLOP) for a range of pressure measuring equipment types describing them
Who is BS EN 61987-13 – Pressure measuring equipment for?
BS EN 61987-13 on LOPs for pressure measuring equipment for electronic data exchange is useful for:
- Manufacturers of industrial-process measuring equipment
- Suppliers of electronic process measurement and control equipment
- Manufacturing units that use electronic data interchanging systems
Why should you use BS EN 61987-13 – Pressure measuring equipment?
The exchange of product data between companies, business systems, engineering tools, data systems within companies and, in the future, control systems (electrical, measuring and control technology) can run smoothly only when both the information to be exchanged and the use of this information has been clearly defined.
BS EN 61987-13 provides one operating LOP for all types of pressure transmitter or pressure gauge which can be used, for example, as a request for various sorts of quotation. The DLOPs for the various pressure transmitter and gauge types provided in BS EN 61987-13 can be used in very different ways:
- In the computer systems of equipment manufacturers and suppliers
- In CAE and similar systems of EPC contractors and other engineering companies
- In different plant maintenance systems of the plant owners
The OLOP and the DLOPs provided correspond to the guidelines specified in BS EN 61987-10 and BS EN 61987-11.
