8、:2012(E) iv ISO 2012 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member bo
9、dy interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrot
10、echnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted b
11、y the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which
12、is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides a

16、nt of wet gas flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits 1 Scope This Technical Report describes the measurement of wet gas with differential pressure meters. It applies to two-phase flows of gas and liquid in which the flowing fluid mixture consists o
17、f gas in the region of 95 % volume fraction or more (the exact limits on the mixture are defined in 6.4.3, 6.4.5, 7.5.3 and 7.5.5). This Technical Report is an extension of ISO 5167. The ranges of gases and liquids from which the equations in this Technical Report were derived are given in 6.4.1 and
18、 7.5.1. It is possible that the equations do not apply to liquids significantly different from those tested, particularly to highly viscous liquids. Although the over-reading equations presented in this Technical Report apply for a wide range of gases and liquids at appropriate gas-liquid density ra
19、tios, evaluating gas flowrates depends on information in addition to that required in single-phase flow: under certain conditions, a measurement of the pressure loss is sufficient; tracers can be used to measure the liquid flow; the total mass flowrate may be known (this is more likely in a wet-stea
20、m flow than in a natural gas/liquid flow); in a wet-steam flow a throttling calorimeter can be used. Wet-gas measurement using Venturi tubes or orifice plates is covered in this Technical Report. This Technical Report is only applicable to wet gas flows with a single liquid and is not intended for t
21、he oil and gas industry. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

26、gas velocities (typically 5 m/s or less) in which the free liquid runs along the bottom of the pipe with the gas flowing at the top of the pipe 3.2 annular flow flow regime that in horizontal pipes occurs at medium gas velocities (typically 5 m/s to 15 m/s) in which the liquid flows around the pipe
27、wall with the gas flowing through the centre of the pipe NOTE In horizontal pipes, annular flow is not uniform; owing to gravitational effects, the liquid is present in higher quantities around the wall at the bottom of the pipe than higher up the pipe wall. 3.3 mist flow flow regime that in horizon
28、tal pipes requires high gas velocities (typically 15 m/s or higher) to keep the liquid suspended in the gas and describes liquid in the flow being carried along in small-droplet form within the body of gas 3.4 slug flow flow regime in which liquid travels along the pipe intermittently but in signifi

32、ased on the installation of a primary device (such as an orifice plate or a Venturi tube) into a pipeline. The installation of the primary device causes a pressure difference between the upstream side and the throat or downstream side of the device. The flowrate can be determined from the measured v
33、alue of this pressure difference and from the knowledge ISO/TR 11583:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 3of the characteristics of the flowing fluid as well as the circumstances under which the device is being used. It is assumed that the device is geometrically similar to one on which calibration
34、 has been carried out and that the conditions of use are the same, i.e. that it is in accordance with ISO 5167-2 or ISO 5167-4.

40、te is determined by evaluating an over-reading. The over-reading is due to the mass of liquid passing through the primary device. The over-reading is affected by the flow regime, which in a wet gas flow is generally stratified, annular or mist, although, in practice, wet gas flows may be a combinati
41、on of these flow regimes. Other flow regimes can occur intermittently, particularly the slug flow regime if liquid has become trapped in the flow line, for example at the bottom of a vertical pipe. Combinations of line conditions, pipe orientations, and gas-liquid ratios influence the type of flow r
42、egime present. An appreciation of which, if any, flow regime is likely to prevail can be extremely useful. The application of the same wet-gas measurement technique can produce widely different results depending on which flow regime predominates, and knowledge of the likely flow regime can therefore
43、 influence the correct choice of measurement principle to be applied. NOTE Even in a horizontal pipe, liquid can be held-up by gas flows of 1 m/s or less and can remain almost stationary rather than flow with the gas. 5.2 Computation The gas mass flowrate, q m,gas , is given by 1 ,gas 2 ,gas 4 2 4 1

ISO/TR 11583:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 56 Venturi tubes 6.1 General Venturi tubes are widely used for wet-gas applications. Among their advantages are: a
47、) they do not dam the flow (unlike orifice plates); b) they can be operated at higher differential pressures than orifice plates without incurring permanent meter damage differential pressures up to and above 2 bar (200 kPa) can be contemplated; for a fixed gas mass flowrate the presence of liquid m
48、ay greatly increase the differential pressure; c) therefore, they have a relatively high turndown (typically 10:1) when used with suitably ranged differential pressure transmitters. 6.2 Design requirements The design requirements for Venturi tubes are specified in ISO 5167-4. However, special attent
49、ion should be paid to the following: the finish of the Venturi tube internal surface, which should be smooth and free from machining defects including burrs and ridges; the pressure tappings, which at the point of entry into the meter internal bore should have sharp edges and be free from burrs and wire edges; and the edge of the conical inlet, which should be sharp and free from manufacturing defects.
