Abstract
In autumn 2002 ARC Seibersdorf research GmbH was awarded a contract from GEW Rheinenergie Köln GmbH covering supply and erection of a heat-meter test plant. The plant is designed for fully automated operation and maximum flexibility so that all heat-meters on the market can be tested on a maximum uncertainty of flow-measurement less than 0,1%. The newly developed interface VMK2000+ was selected as interface between specimens and the network based process control. Integrated databases for static and streaming real time data serve not only the test process- and result-data, but as well the complete administrative data for tests and QM.
