Applies to meters fitted to irrigation machines and networks. These meters are used to meter the actual volume of irrigation water flowing through a fully charged, closed pipe, in order to manage consumption, and to invoice the volume of water distributed.

This European Standard applies to meters fitted to irrigation machines and networks. These meters are used to meter the actual volume of irrigation water flowing through a fully charged, closed pipe, in order to manage consumption, and to invoice the volume of water distributed. Irrigation water is likely to contain mineral and organic particles.
