This Int

20、ernational Standard is supplemented by an annex providing guidance on the types of water level measurement devices currently available and the measurement uncertainty associated with them (see Annex A). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application o

23、r level measuring device shall be described by the classification categories of uncertainty, temperature range and relative humidity so that the overall performance of the equipment may be summarized in three digits. 4.2 General Water level measuring devices shall be classified in accordance with th

24、e performance classes given in Table 1 that account for the resolution to be achieved and the limits of uncertainty required over specified ranges. It should be made clear whether these levels of attainment can only be achieved by the use of special works, for example installation within stilling we

25、lls. It is also important to remember that in the measurement of stage, uncertainty expressed as a percentage of range gives rise to worst case uncertainty in the determination of stage at low values of stage. This is highly significant for the measurement of low flows and should be taken into accou

26、nt in the design of equipment for this purpose. 4 DIN EN ISO 4373:2009-01 EN ISO 4373:2008 (E) The manufacturer has to state the physical principle of the measuring device in order to allow the user to judge the devices suitability for the proposed environment.

32、 either analogue or digital, is part of the instrument specification, the timing method used shall be clearly stated on the instrument and in the instruction manual. NOTE It is recognized that digital timing is inherently more accurate than analogue timing. 4.5.2 Digital The uncertainty of digital t

33、iming devices used in water level measuring devices shall be within 150 s at the end of a period of 30 days, within the range of environmental conditions defined in 4.4. 4.5.3 Analogue The uncertainty of analogue timing devices used in water level measuring devices shall be within 15 min at the end

34、of a period of 30 days, within the range of environmental conditions defined in 4.4. 5 Recording 5.1 Chart recorders Where a chart recorder is to be used as the primary source of data, the resolution and uncertainty parameters shall take account of changes in the dimensions of the recording medium d

35、ue to atmospheric variables. NOTE Chart recorders have been superseded to a large extent by data logging devices. However, they are still used as back-up units or to provide rapid visual assessment of flow changes on site. 5.2 Data loggers A data logger shall be able to store at least the equivalent

36、 of four digits per reading. Where a data logger includes the interface electronics, the resolution and uncertainty shall relate to the stored value. 6 Enclosure The performance of the enclosure shall be stated in terms of the IP classification system in accordance with IEC 60529. It shall be stated

37、 whether or not any parts in contact with water are suitable for contact with potable water. It shall be stated whether or not the equipment may be used in a potentially explosive environment in accordance with IEC 60079-10. 7 Installation The manufacturer shall provide clear instructions for the in

38、stallation of water level measuring devices. 6 DIN EN ISO 4373:2009-01 EN ISO 4373:2008 (E) 8 Estimation of measurement uncertainty 8.1 General The uncertainty of a value derived from primary measurements may be due to a) unsteadiness of the value being measured (waves on the water surface), or b) r

39、esolution of the measurement process (the eyes resolution of submillimetre distance). Two methods of estimation, Type A and Type B, are described in the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement for relating the dispersion of values to the probability of “closeness” to mean value. 8.2 Ty

40、pe-A estimation A Type-A estimation is determined directly from the standard deviation of a large number of measurements. (Note that the distribution of these results need not be Gaussian.) Type-A estimations can be readily computed from continuous measurements when the dispersion is not masked by h

41、ysteresis of the measurement process. Of course, the dispersion must exceed by a significant margin the resolution of the measurement process. 8.3 Type-B estimation A Type-B estimation is assigned to a measurement process for which large numbers of measurements are not available or to a measurement

42、with defined limits of resolution. To define a Type-B uncertainty, the upper and lower limits of the dispersion or the upper and lower limits of resolution are used to define the limits of a probability diagram whose shape is selected to represent the dispersion, i.e. uniform dispersions would have

43、a rectangular distribution; dispersions with most measurements congregated about the mean value would have a triangular distribution. Allocation of probability distributions is described in Annex A. The relationship between the uncertainty of primary measurements and the value of the uncertainty of

44、the result is derived from the formula defining the relationship between the value and its primary measurements. Sensitivities are the partial derivatives of the value with respect to each primary measurement. In the case of level, its relationship to primary measurement is generally linear. Sensiti

45、vity coefficients would then be equal to 1. 8.4 Level measurement datum Level measurement is not absolute measurement; it is always relative to a datum, for example a local benchmark or the elevation of a weir crest. The uncertainty associated with the datum should be combined with the uncertainty o

46、f the derived value. 8.5 Combining primary measurement uncertainties To determine the uncertainty of the derived value, U, it is necessary to combine the uncertainties of all primary measurements, u, thus, ()( )( )22level level datum level measurementUu u=+ This illustrates the method when combining

47、 the uncertainty of a reference level datum value. Other components of measurement uncertainty are added by inclusion of their squared value within the brackets. 7 EN ISO 4373:2008 (E) DIN EN ISO 4373:2009-01 Annex A (informative) Types of water level measuring devices A.1 Reference gauges A.1.1 Sta
