EMS Electronic Metering Systems also specializes in the development and manufacture of heat meters. Since its founding, the company has established itself in the industry and is now a well-known manufacturer of ultrasonic heat meters, distinguished by their exceptional precision and reliability.

EMS Electronic Metering Systems has developed remarkable expertise, particularly in the field of ultrasonic flow measurement, enabling the company to utilize state-of-the-art technologies for measuring heat and energy. This advanced technology is increasingly employed in various sectors, such as sub-metering in residential buildings, district heating systems, industrial plants, and energy monitoring systems, as it allows for precise and continuous monitoring of heat consumption.

The company manufactures its own HMU -1 ultrasonic heat meters, specifically designed for measuring heat consumption in hot water heating systems. These heat meters offer numerous advantages, including high accuracy, fast response time, and resistance to external influences such as vibrations and temperature fluctuations. They are ideal for use in demanding environments where reliable energy flow measurement is crucial. The HMU-1 models are also characterized by user-friendly operation and a robust construction that ensures a long service life.

EMS Electronic Metering Systems meets all requirements of the European Measuring Instruments Directive (MID 2014 / 32/EU), which governs the conformity of measuring instruments in Europe. This directive, which has since been transposed into national law in the individual European member states, stipulates that heat meters must possess a certain level of accuracy and reliability to be used for billing and measuring heat energy consumption. EMS Electronic Metering Systems ensures that all manufactured ultrasonic heat meters comply with these stringent requirements and are therefore approved for the European market.

Thanks to this MID-compliant manufacturing, the company’s products can be used without restriction in all EU countries as well as in all EFTA and EEA countries, which is an important prerequisite for European customers to use these devices.

Especially for EMS Electronic Metering Systems ‘ international customers outside the EU, EEA, and EFTA, it is a significant advantage that the company’s ultrasonic heat meters are manufactured in accordance with the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID). This European directive ensures that all manufactured measuring instruments meet the highest standards of accuracy, reliability, and quality required for approval and use in the European market.

The MID is one of the strictest regulatory standards for measuring instruments worldwide. It ensures that the devices not only comply with legal requirements but also offer exceptionally high measurement accuracy and reliability . For international customers who rely on dependable and precise measuring instruments, MID certification means guaranteed quality. The stringent requirements of this directive go far beyond usual standards and therefore offer the advantage that heat meters from EMS Electronic Metering Systems operate consistently accurately and reliably under real-world conditions, regardless of whether they are used in Europe, North America, Asia, or other parts of the world.

Another advantage for international customers outside the EU, EEA, and EFTA is that MID compliance represents a quality advantage and thus a market advantage. In many countries worldwide, and especially in markets that have adopted the MID directives or similar standards, measuring instruments must meet these strict requirements to be approved for use in operational applications or for billing purposes.

EMS Electronic Metering Systems offers its international customers not only a product that meets the highest quality standards through MID compliance, but in many cases also legal certainty and market approval for use in various countries outside the EU, EEA, and EFTA. This MID compliance often allows the devices to be used worldwide without the need for further additional testing or renewed approval procedures.

Especially for international customers outside the EU, the EEA and the EFTA , who rely on the precise measurement of heat energy and energy flows – be it in submetering in residential areas, in district heating systems , in industrial processes or in energy billing – the heat meters manufactured according to MID from EMS offer a high level of measurement accuracy , which is continuously ensured by comprehensive testing and calibration procedures .

The MID requirements for measurement accuracy are particularly demanding and encompass not only the precise measurement of flow rate, but also temperature measurement and the long-term stability of the devices. Therefore, international customers outside the EU, EFTA, and EEA can be confident that they will receive devices that meet the highest standards of precision and durability and deliver consistently high performance in daily operation.

International customers, especially those outside the EU, EFTA, and EEA, can rely on EMS Electronic Metering Systems as a partner who supplies them with products that meet the highest quality standards worldwide.

A crucial component of quality assurance and manufacturing according to MID requirements are the high-precision flow test benches, which were developed in cooperation with one of the leading and most renowned manufacturers of high-precision test benches in Central Europe. These test benches are used to test the ultrasonic heat meters during the manufacturing process in a variety of realistic test scenarios and to ensure that the devices measure accurately under all possible conditions.

EMS Electronic Metering Systems’ flow test benches utilize advanced reference systems, such as the piston probe, which enables precise flow rate determination thanks to its extremely high accuracy. Another system employed is the magnetic-inductive flowmeter (MID), which uses magnetic induction to achieve highly precise measurement of liquid flow. These technologies work together to achieve an exceptionally low measurement uncertainty, ranging from ±0.2% to ±0.5%. This high precision is crucial for ensuring the accurate recording of energy flows and guaranteeing the functionality of the heat meters throughout their entire lifecycle.

Another important aspect of quality control at EMS Electronic Metering Systems during its MID-compliant manufacturing process is the precise calibration of the temperature sensors. Since accurate temperature measurement is essential for the precise calculation of heat consumption, the company uses state-of-the-art oil-based temperature baths to test and calibrate the temperature sensors of its ultrasonic heat meters. EMS Electronic Metering Systems has three high-precision oil-based temperature baths used for these tests and calibrations. These baths provide constant, precise temperature control and ensure that the temperature sensors are tested under controlled and ideal conditions. This calibration is crucial to guarantee that the temperature sensors deliver accurate readings throughout the heat meter’s operation.

The oil temperature baths are operated with exceptionally high accuracy, allowing the temperature sensors to be tested across the entire temperature range relevant to the specific application of the heat meter. These tests ensure that the ultrasonic heat meters operate reliably and deliver accurate measurements even under extreme temperature conditions. These testing and calibration procedures are not only essential for compliance with MID regulations, but also for the continuous improvement of product quality and adaptation to new technological requirements.

By employing these high-precision calibration and testing methods, EMS Electronic Metering Systems ensures that its ultrasonic heat meters offer consistently high measurement accuracy throughout their entire lifespan. The company guarantees reliable operation and a long service life, resulting in high customer satisfaction and minimizing operating costs for end users.

Combined with the use of state-of-the-art test benches and calibration techniques, as well as the continuous development of its products, EMS Electronic Metering Systems has established itself as an experienced and renowned provider of ultrasonic heat meters. EMS Electronic Metering Systems places great emphasis on innovation, quality, and reliability, ensuring that its customers are always equipped with the best technologies for measuring and monitoring heat and energy flows. Whether for submetering in the residential sector, industry, district heating systems, or energy monitoring systems, EMS Electronic Metering Systems ‘ products offer solutions that customers worldwide can rely on.
