What is BS EN IEC 62828-1 – Testing of industrial and process measurement transmitters about?
BS EN IEC 62828-1 is the first part of the IEC 62828 multi-series that discusses conditions and procedures for testing and process measurement transmitters.
BS EN IEC 62828-1 establishes a general framework for defining reference conditions and test procedures applicable to all types of industrial and process measurement transmitters (PMTs) used in measuring and control systems for industrial processes and machinery. These reference test conditions are divided into “standard reference conditions”, which apply when determining the accuracy of measurement, and “ambient and process reference conditions”, which are used to assess the influence of external quantities on the measurement.
Note1: Additional specific test procedures for given types of PMTs (pressure, temperature, level, flow) are covered by other parts of the IEC 62828 series.
Note2: Proximity devices with analogue output are excluded from the scope of BS EN IEC 62828-1.
Who is BS EN IEC 62828-1 – Testing of industrial and process measurement transmitters for?
BS EN IEC 62828-1 on industrial and process measurement transmitter is useful for:
- Manufacturers of measurement transmitters
- Designers and developers of measurement transmitters
- Testing executives and laboratories
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62828-1 – Testing of industrial and process measurement transmitters?
Industrial and process transmitters provide accurate measurements for pressure, level, flow and temperature. These measurements are vital in the production stages to maintain ideal conditions. If these measurements are calculated incorrectly by the transmitters, they can disrupt the quality of the product.
BS EN IEC 62828-1 provides you guidance on suitable test conditions for the transmitters. These conditions would be on par with the field conditions in which these transmitters will operate in their lifecycle. BS EN IEC 62828-1 also provides you with a series of test procedures that apply to all types of industrial and process measurement transmitters.
In conclusion, the test methods described in BS EN IEC 62828-1 enable you to verify the operability and quality of measurement transmitters.
What’s changed since the last update?
The IEC 62828 series cancels and replaces the IEC 60770 series and proposes revisions for the IEC 61298 series.
