What is BS EN 60873-2 - Inspection and routine testing for electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders about?
BS EN 60873-2 is the second part of the multi-part series that applies the electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders (for use in industrial process control systems), operating from a standardized signal which may be used in process control.
BS EN 60873-2 is intended that continuous and dotted line traces, multiple pens, and multiple-channel instruments should be covered. Some tests may not apply to all instruments and additional tests may be required for certain types of recorders.
The object of BS EN 60873-2 is to provide technical guidance for inspection and routine testing of electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders, for instance, as acceptance tests or after repair.
For a full evaluation, or where a recorder is to be used under arduous conditions, (for example, high temperatures), IEC 60873-1 should be used.
Whenever possible any tests carried out are to be by IEC 61298 , and the person carrying out the tests needs to have a copy of it to hand and be familiar with it.
