Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits - Velocity-area methods of flow measurement in swirling or asymmetric flow conditions in circular ducts by means of current-meters or Pitot static tubes

ISO 7194:2008 specifies velocity-area methods for measuring flow in swirling or asymmetric flow conditions in circular ducts by means of current-meters of Pitot static tubes. ISO 7194:2008 specifies the measurements required, the precautions to be taken, the corrections to apply, and describes the additional uncertainties which are introduced when a measurement in asymmetric or swirling flow has to be made. Only flows with a negligible radial component are considered, however. Furthermore, it is not possible to make a measurement in accordance with ISO 7194:2008 if, at any point in the measuring cross-section, the local velocity makes an angle of greater than 40° with the axis of the duct, or where the index of asymmetry Y (defined within ISO 7194:2008) is greater than 0,15. ISO 7194:2008 deals only with instruments for measuring local velocity as defined in ISO 3354 and ISO 3966. If Pitot static tubes are used, ISO 7194:2008 applies only to flows where the Mach number corresponding to local velocities does not exceed 0,25.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
