Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 5167 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 may be too
large for a particular application, it may be deemed essential to
calibrate the flow meter in accordance with section 7 of this
document. Calibrated meters shall only be used over the calibrated
Reynolds number range.
This part of ISO 5167 also provides background information for
calculating the flow rate and is applicable in conjunction with the
requirements given in ISO 5167-1.
This part of ISO 5167 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, β and Reynolds number. This part of ISO 5167 is
not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. It does not
cover the use of uncalibrated cone meters in pipes sized less than
50 mm or more than 500 mm, or where the pipe Reynolds numbers are
below 8 x 104.
A cone meter is a primary device which consists of a cone-shaped
restriction held concentrically in the centre of the pipe with the
cone apex upstream. The design of cone meter defined in this
standard 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
characterise these devices, and therefore these meters shall be
calibrated in accordance with Section 7.
