18、-1999 1 1 General 1.1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for indicating tachometer and speedometer systems with or without revolution counters for industrial, railway and marine application. NOTEThe titles of the British Standards referred to in this standard are listed on page ii 1.

19、2 Accuracy classes The three classes of accuracy specified in this standard are as follows: Class index 0.75. System having a nominal accuracy of 0.75% of maximum scale value (see 3.3.3). Class index 1.5. System designed for general purposes, having a nominal accuracy of 1.5 % of maximum scale value

20、 (see 3.3.3). Class index 3.0. System designed for general purposes, having a nominal accuracy of 3 % of maximum scale value (see 3.3.3). All the requirements of this standard apply to Class0.75, Class 1.5 and Class 3.0 instruments, except where a distinction between these three classes is made. 1.3

21、 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply: 1.3.1 tachometer system a means of measuring the rate of revolution of a rotating body. It may also, but not necessarily, detect the direction of rotation 1.3.2 speedometer system a device for the measurement of

22、 distance travelled per unit time 1.3.3 mechanical tachometer a tachometer in which the linkage between the rotating body and the measuring device is wholly mechanical 1.3.4 electrical/electronic tachometer a tachometer in which the means of detection, transmission and measurement are partly electri

23、cal 1.3.5 magnetic tachometer a mechanical or electrical tachometer in which the indicating component includes a driving link effected by interaction between a relatively rotating magnetic system and an induction cup or disc 1.3.6 electrical/electronic tachometer transmitter a device which provides

24、electrical signals from which the rate of revolution can be measured 1.3.7 electrical/electronic tachometer indicator a device which accepts signals from the electrical tachometer transmitter with or without intermediate conversion and indicates visually the rate of revolution 1.3.8 index the pointe

25、r or other means by which the measured quantity is indicated relative to the scale 1.3.9 scale the array of marks together with any associated figuring from which the indicated quantity may be read 1.3.10 accuracy the accuracy of a measuring instrument or of an accessory is defined by the limits of

26、intrinsic error and the limits of variations due to influence quantities 1.3.11 accuracy class a class of measuring instruments or accessories, the accuracy of all of which can be designated by the same number, if they comply with all the clauses of this standard 1.3.12 class index the number which

27、designates the accuracy class NOTE 1The class index is applicable to the variation as well as to the intrinsic error. NOTE 2Multi-range instruments may have more than one class index. 1.3.13 maximum scale value the greatest value of the measured quantity which the scale is graduated to indicate NOTE

28、 1In multi-range instruments this definition is to be read as applying to the particular range which the instrument is set up to measure. NOTE 2In centre-zero or offset zero type instruments the maximum scale value is to be taken as the sum of the two end scale values.BS3403:1972 2 BSI 09-1999 1.3.1

29、4 minimum scale value the smallest value of the measured quantity which the scale is graduated to indicate NOTEIn multi-range instruments this definition is to be read as applying to the particular range which the instrument is set up to measure. 1.3.15 scale range the number of units indicated on t

30、he scale between the two scale-end marks, with the exception that in suppressed zero instruments, the scale range is from the minimum to the maximum scale value 1.3.16 effective range that portion of the scale over which the instrument complies with the specified limits of error 1.3.17 revolution co

31、unter a device which counts and displays revolutions (or derived units) without respect to time. It may or may not be an integral part of the indicator 2 Design and construction 2.1 General The construction shall be mechanically sound, and such as to assure permanence in all mechanical, electrical,

32、electronic or magnetic adjustments when used in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Mechanical and magnetic types shall be self-contained except for drive details. Electrical tachometers shall consist essentially of two separate units, namely the transmitter and the indicator. Electro

33、nic types shall consist essentially of three units, viz. the transmitter, electronic conversion unit and indicator. Any of these units may be combined. Electrical or electronic units shall be connected together by electrical cables, either with or without a separate source of electric supply. Where

34、required, protection against reversal of polarity of a d.c. auxiliary supply shall be provided. Where revolution counters are incorporated in the indicator, it is recommended that the figures should be outside the swept area of the index. 2.2 Drives and electrical connections The coupling shall not

35、alter the mean angular velocity condition of drive. The choice of drive and method of attachment together with any electrical connections shall be the subject of agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. Where instruments are mechanically coupled, the drives shall be capable of accommoda

36、ting a reasonable amount of angular, parallel or end float displacement between the prime mover and the instrument system so that the accuracy requirements of the tachometer system are maintained. Suitable forms of mechanical drive include flexible couplings, spring couplings, pin and slot couplings

37、, dog couplings, flexible cable drive, chain and sprocket, toothed belt. The magnetic or electronic pulse type of tachometer system may be driven as above or it may be directly applied at the point of sensing. 2.2.1 Sealing of drive. It is the responsibility of the user and the manufacturer jointly

38、to prevent the transfer of lubricant to the drive where this is detrimental to satisfactory operation. Due account should also be taken of any relevant environmental conditions. 2.3 Environment 2.3.1 The indicator, transmitter and ancillary apparatus shall be contained in suitable enclosures to affo

39、rd adequate protection and to ensure permanence of the accuracy of the indications. 2.3.2 Vibration resistance. The tachometry system shall be designed to withstand without damage the vibration test specified in 3.4.8, except that the indicator, if not normally subjected to vibration in service, may

40、 be excluded by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 2.3.3 Shock resistance. The tachometry system shall be designed to withstand the shock test specified in 3.4.9. 2.3.4 Variation in indication due to mounting on ferrous supports. Unless otherwise agreed, the variation in indicatio

41、n of a tachometer (or of the receiver for a tachometer transmitter), when mounted on a ferrous support not less than 3 mm thick, shall not differ from that obtained free in air by more than the figure quoted in 3.4.6. 2.3.4.1 Variation in output of a generator/transmitter due to mounting, on ferrous

42、 supports. Unless otherwise agreed, the variation in output of a tachometer generator or transmitter, when mounted on a ferrous support not less than6mm thick, shall not differ from that obtained free in air by more than the figure quoted in 3.4.6.BS3403:1972 BSI 09-1999 3 2.3.5 Effect of transients

43、 (spikes and surges) in electronic systems. In general transients will be found to occur and both manufacturer and user should consult each other regarding suppression/immunity. 2.3.5.1 Where commutation or switching is liable to cause radio interference, care shall be taken to minimize such interfe

44、rence, as recommended in CP1006 and BS 1597. 2.3.6 Intrinsic safety. An intrinsically safe system shall satisfy the requirements of BS 1259. 2.3.7 Flameproofing. A flameproof enclosure shall satisfy the requirements of BS 229. 2.3.8 Weatherproofing. A weatherproof enclosure shall be so constructed o

45、r protected that exposure to the weather or splashings of water will not impair the operation of the instrument (foratest,see3.4.10). 2.3.9 Watertightness. A watertight enclosure shall satisfy the watertightness tests specified in 3.4.11. 2.3.10 Dustproofing. A dustproof enclosure shall satisfy the

46、requirements of BS 3807. 2.3.11 Saltspray. A saltspray-proof system shall satisfy the requirements of BS 2011-2Ka. 2.3.12 Tropical use. A tachometer system required for use in particularly severe tropical conditions e.g.high relative humidity, extremes of temperature, shall meet the requirements of

47、BS2011-2Da or such other appropriate Part of BS2011 as might be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 2.4 Dial diameters The recommended nominal visible dial diameters are 75, 100, 150, 200 and 300 mm. 2.5 Scale ranges, scales and indexes Scale ranges, scales and indexes should be in ac

48、cordance with BS 3693. 2.6 Direction of deflection Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, the following requirements apply: 1) The direction of deflection of the index of a tachometer for an increasing quantity shall be clockwise for a substantially circular scale of more than 180 degrees, def

49、lection from left to right for a substantially horizontal scale, and upwards for a substantially vertical scale. 2) In other cases the direction of deflection shall be as far as possible upwards for an increasing quantity. 3) In a centre or offset zero indicators deflection to the right or clockwise shall be “forward”, and deflection to the left or anticlockwise shall be “reverse”. 2.7 Zero adjustment Tachometer indicators may be fitted with a suitable device for adjusting the pointer to zero or other setting mark. Where such a device is fitted, there shall
