Description of BS EN ISO 5167-5:2022 - TC 2022
This document specifies the geometry and method of use
(installation and operating conditions) of cone meters when they
are inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow rate
of the fluid flowing in the conduit. As the uncertainty of an
uncalibrated cone meter might be too high for a particular
application, it might be deemed essential to calibrate the flow
meter in accordance with Clause 7. This document also provides
background information for calculating the flow rate and is
applicable in conjunction with the requirements given in ISOÂ 5167?1
. This document is applicable only to cone meters in which the flow
remains subsonic throughout the measuring section and where the
fluid can be considered as single-phase. Uncalibrated cone meters
can only be used within specified limits of pipe size, roughness,
?, and Reynolds number, Re. This document is not applicable to the
measurement of pulsating flow. It does not cover the use of
uncalibrated cone meters in pipes sized less than 50Â mm or more
than 500 mm, or where the pipe Reynolds numbers are below 8 × 104
or greater than 1,2 × 107. A cone meter is a primary device which
consists of a cone-shaped restriction held concentrically in the
centre of the pipe with the nose of the cone upstream. The design
of cone meter defined in this document has one or more upstream
pressure tappings in the wall, and a downstream pressure tapping
positioned in the back face of the cone with the connection to a
differential pressure transmitter being a hole through the cone to
the support bar, and then up through the support bar. Alternative
designs of cone meters are available; however, at the time of
writing, there is insufficient data to fully characterize these
devices, and therefore, these meters shall be calibrated in
accordance with Clause 7.
