BS EN IEC 62828-5:2020

What is BS EN IEC 62828-5 about?  

BS EN IEC 62828-5 is part five of the multi-series standard that establishes specific procedures for testing flow transmitters used in measuring and control systems for industrial process and for machinery control systems. For general test procedures, reference is to be made to IEC 62828-1:2017, applicable to all types of industrial and process measurement transmitters. 

BS EN IEC 62828-5 – together with IEC 62828-1:2017 – is the reference standard for testing every type of flow transmitter, not only for liquids but also for gases and for steam. 

In BS EN IEC 62828-5, "industrial flow transmitters" consistently covers all types of flow transmitters used in measuring and control systems for industrial process and for machinery. 

Who is BS EN IEC 62828-5 for? 

BS EN IEC 62828-5 on specific procedures for flow transmitters is useful for: 

• Flow transmitters manufacturers  
• Industries using transmitters 
• Designers and testers of flow transmitters  

Why should you use BS EN IEC 62828-5?  

BS EN IEC 62828-5 gives a general description of different types of flow transmitters based on various features. 

BS EN IEC 62828-5 provides test procedures to test flow transmitters for static behaviour, accuracy, different fluids and test conditions. This will improve the quality of your flow transmitters. 

BS EN IEC 62828-5 lays out guidelines for documentation of test results and total probable error.  

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN IEC 62828-5:2020 supersedes BS EN 60770-1:2011, BS EN 60770-2:2010 and BS EN 60770-3:2014
