Water Meter Test Bench Model Q4

For residential water meters sizes DN15 & DN20

Day in, day out productivity where you need it...

Volumetric testing method according to ISO
4064-2 and OIML R49-2 international standards
for the determination of the measuring error of
residential water meters sizes DN15 and DN20.

Built-in water reservoir and automatic pumping

system eliminates the need for further infrastruc-
ture in your testing lab.

Estimated productivity level: 60 water meters

tested daily.
Testing flow range with standard rotameters:
from 6.0 l/h to 5,000 l/h.
Testing flow range with optional mag flowme-
ters: from 2.0 l/h to 5,000 l/h .

2 volumetric reference tanks calibrated by ISO

17025 certified company. Calibration Certificate
with international traceability provided.

Ergonomic design bench table with manually

operated mechanical clamping system for the
simultaneous testing of up to 4 water meters.
Built-in automatic pumping system based on
submersible pump, constant pressure auto-
matic VFD control and elevated tank.

Compact design, minimum space, easy to

install and operate.

Upgradable to PLC controlled, semiautomat-

ic operation.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION REQUIREMENTS

A minimum available space is required for the installation and operation of
the Model Q4 Water Meter Test Bench. The figure on the left shows the
general dimensions of the equipment.

An available 220VAC, 25 Amp Electric Supply is required.

The integrated water reservoir and pumping system makes possible to install
the Model Q4 virtually in any place where there is enough available area. No
need for expensive infraestructure or special building construction.

For the low and very low flowrate testing, it is required to install a small
elevated Constant Pressure Tank provided by IBPCal. See details of this
installation in the Model Q4 Operation & Maintenance Manual, or contact us
for installation details information.
