Since the choice o
18、f the type of tracer to be used in a field measurement will often depend on the expertise and the laboratory facilities available, this new series of standards ISO9555 is divided into parts based on the type of tracer used. This revision has enabled the unnecessary repetition of text of the various
19、parts to be avoided and will, it is hoped, prove to be a more convenient form of presentation for the user. ISO9555 deals with the measurement of steady flow in open channels by dilution methods using tracers. The methods described may also be applied to the measurement of slowly varying flow, but t
20、hey may only be used when flow conditions ensure adequate mixing of the injected solution throughout the flow. For the measurement of very large flows, tracer methods can be onerous in terms of tracer costs and measurement times. However, the use of tracers often reduces danger to personnel during f
21、lood periods. ISO9555-1 presents the general principles of the methods of constant rate injection and integration (sudden injection). ISO9555-2, ISO9555-3 and ISO9555-4 deal with the specific aspects of the use of radioactive, chemical and fluorescent tracers, respectively, as well as specific analy
22、tical procedures. This approach has been adopted for the following reasons: to facilitate subsequent updating, additions or revisions which concern only ISO9555-2, ISO9555-3 or ISO9555-4; to provide a more practical document for the user, who is often obliged to choose the tracer best suited to the
23、available analytical equipment. 1 Scope This part of ISO9555 concerns principles of the constant rate injection method and the sudden injection method (integration method), and the principles of injection, sampling and analysis which apply for all types of tracer. It is important to note that the tr
24、acers used and their concentrations should be compatible with the legislation of each country regarding the occasional and short-duration discharges of foreign substances into natural waters. They should also take into account possible short-term or long-term influences on flora and fauna, both natu
25、ral and domestic. In the absence of appropriate regulations, the World Health Organizations (WHO) Guidelines for drinking water quality should serve as a guide, taking account of the brief nature of the measurement and of the use that is to be made of water receiving the injected tracer. 2 Normative

28、poses of this part of ISO9555, the definitions given in ISO772 and the following definitions apply. 3.1 tracer ion, compound or radionuclide introduced into a flow system to follow the behaviour of some component of that system. It is necessary that the tracer, which can be observed, behave in exact
29、ly the same fashion as the component to be followed, whose behaviour cannot easily be observed 3.2 dilution method method in which the discharge is deduced from the determination of the ratio of the concentration of the tracer injected to that of the tracer at the sampling cross-section (see also3.9
30、)ISO9555-1:1994(E) 2 BSI 06-1999 3.3 constant rate injection method method of measuring the discharge in which a tracer is injected at a constant and known rate at one cross-section and its dilution is measured at another section downstream where complete mixing has taken place and the concentration
31、 plateau has been reached 3.4 sudden injection method; integration method method of measuring the discharge in which a known volume of tracer is injected over a short time at one cross-section and its dilution is measured at another cross-section downstream where complete mixing has taken place, ove
32、r a period sufficient to allow all the tracer to pass that cross-section, so that the mean dilution of tracer during this period can be determined 3.5 multiple injection simultaneous injection of tracer at several points in the injection cross-section, with the aim of improving transverse mixing in
33、a given measuring reach 3.6 constant level tank equipment for the injection of the concentrated solution at constant rate, in which, using an overflow weir, a constant head is maintained above a selected nozzle or orifice 3.7 Mariotte vessel equipment for injection of the concentrated solution at co
34、nstant rate. The constant rate injection is achieved by means of an airtight vessel that is provided with an orifice plate or nozzle at its bottom portion. The liquid flows through the restriction and air enters the vessel through a tube, maintaining atmospheric pressure at the lower end of the tube
35、, set at a determined height above the restriction. The head on the restriction and consequently the discharge from the vessel remain constant, independently of the level of the liquid in the vessel 3.8 floating siphon equipment for injection of the concentrated solution at constant rate. The soluti
36、on is taken from a vessel by means of a siphon that is fixed on a float. The lower end of the siphon is fitted with an orifice plate or nozzle. The head on the restriction and consequently the discharge from the vessel remain constant, independently of the level of the liquid in the vessel 3.9 dilut

41、tion and the downstream cross-section at which the specified degree of mixing is obtained. For given conditions, this mixing length is not a fixed value: it varies according to the admissible values for the degree of mixing. The higher the specified degree of mixing, the longer the mixing lengthISO9

49、n of a suitably selected tracer to the flow. Downstream of the injection point, when vertical and lateral dispersion throughout the flow is complete, the discharge may be calculated from the measurement of the dilution of the tracer. If this tracer, or a substance with analytical characteristics similar to the injected tracer, was present in the flow before the injection, the increase in concentration of tracer due to the injection is known as the “concentration of added tracer”. The methods set out in this part
