For residential water meters sizes DN15, DN20 & DN25
Your complete small meters shop in one single equipment...
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, DN20 and
DN25.
3 volumetric reference tanks. Includes high
capacity 350 litre tank for reliable, low uncertain-
ty high flow testing.
Testing flowrate measurement with a choice of
standard rotameters or advance digital display
magnetic flowneters.
Built-in water reservoir and automatic pumping
system eliminates the need for further infrastruc-
ture in your testing lab.
Automatic pumping system based on sub-
mersible pump, constant pressure automatic
VFD control and elevated Constant Head
Tank.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
A minimum available space is required for the installation and operation of
the Model Q5 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 Q5 virtually in any place where there is enough available area. No
need for expensive infrastructure or special building construction.
For the low and very low flowrate testing, it is required to install a small
elevated Constant Head Tank provided by IBPCal. See details of this
installation in the Model Q5 Operation & Maintenance Manual, or contact us
for installation details information.
