Water Meter Test Bench Model Q3

For residential water meters size DN15 (1/2”)

Low cost without compromising quality or performance...

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 size DN15.

Ideal equipment for small water meter labs or

meter shops in small Municipal Water Compa-
nies.

Options for measuring of testing flow: either

traditional low cost rotameters, or advanced
electromagnetic flowmeters with digital display.

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 up
- to
3 water meters.

Built-in booster pump for high flow (Permanent

Flow Q3) testing even in low-pressure water
systems.

Compact design, low cost.

Very easy to use, plug&play installation.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION REQUIREMENTS

A minimum available space is required for the installation and operation of the
Model Q3 Water Meter Test Bench. The figure on the left shows the general
dimensions of the equipment.

The Model Q3 can be installed anywhere there is a reliable water supply at a

minimum pressure of approx. 4.5 kg/cm2 (64 psi) and a proper drain.

However, it is highly recommended to install de Model Q3 with a “Testing Water

Recycling System” (not provided by IBPCal). See detailed installation recommen-
dations in the Model Q3 Operation & Maintenance Manual, or contact us for
installation details information.
