Series testing
systems
For semi-automatic or fully automatic serial testing of water meters
Details
Series 5000 (fully automatic)
Measuring principle
Gravimetric or against MID as a comparison counter.
The measuring method is optionally available with stationary or flying start/stop.
The counter can be recorded manually or with optical scanning. Electronic counters with their own pulse output can be integrated.
Technical data
- Single or series test bench
- DN15 to DN40
- Qmin = 5 l/h
- Qmax = 30,000 l/h
Series 4000 (semi-automatic)
Measuring principle
Gravimetric measurement with 300 kg scale.
The flow rate setting is manual.
The measuring method is with standing start/stop against the scale.
The counter can be recorded manually or with optical scanning. Electronic meters with their own pulse output can be integrated.
Technical data
- Single or series test bench
- DN15 to DN40
- Qmin = 5 l/h
- Qmax = 30,000 l/h

Large meter
test benches
For testing large water meters and compound water meters
Details
Description
These test benches are designed as individual or series test systems for testing large water meters and compound water meters.
Measuring principle
Gravimetric or against MID as comparison meter.
The meters are clamped manually or hydraulically, depending on customer requirements.
Technical data
- DN40 to DN150
- Qmin = 2 l/h Qmax = 120,000 l/h
- DN40 to DN300
- Qmin = 10 l/h Qmax = 600,000 l/h
- Reference standard MID
- Cold and hot water
- Manual
- Semi-automatic
- Fully automatic

Adjustment
test benches
For quick and efficient adjustment of water meters
Details
Principle
Optical or magnetic scanning of the water meter and comparison with a magnetic inductive flow meter or adjustment with a stroboscope.
Special feature
Fully automated operation. The test is clamped and started as soon as the meter is detected. Once the target value is reached, the test is automatically ended and unclamped.
Data transfer of the adjusted Qmax value to the database and automatic assignment of the measured value to the series test protocol is possible.
Technical data
- DN15 to DN40
- Qmax = 20,000 l/h cold water
- Reference standard MID
- Control standard Scale

Test
software
For test benches, measuring systems
and calibrations
Details
Software packages that precisely meet the requirements of modern test laboratories.
Pytho Assist supports standard-compliant report generation for calibrations and tests in accordance with national and international guidelines.
MultiControl enables fully automated test sequences – from the control of all components and the calibration of sensors and measuring equipment to the creation of protocols and log files.
