Popis: Electromagnetic flowmeters will be used as working standards for determining volumetric flowrates for hot water. Flowmeters for hot water can be calibrated by the well-known mass-time method only up to 100°C. But the district heat suppliers are greatly interested in flowrate measurements at higher temperatures in order to exactly calculate the delivered heat energy. The described one-point relative method using LDV is a time-saving procedure and allows the determination of the metrological performance of flowmeters as a function of flowrate and temperature above 100°C. The relative uncertainties in the determination of the flowrates are about 0.2%.
