As a consequence of implementing the European Standard this British Standard is renumbered as BSEN24185 and any reference to BS6199-1:1981 should be read as a reference to BS EN24185. Terminology and conve

Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following. Wherever the words “I
18、nternational Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. The comma has been used throughout as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. OIML Recommendations Nos.1,2,3,20,28 an

32、ope and field of application This International Standard specifies a method of liquid flow-rate measurement in closed conduits by measuring the mass of liquid delivered into a weighing tank in a known time interval. It deals in particular with the measuring apparatus, the procedure, the method for c
33、alculating the flow-rate and the uncertainties associated with the measurement. The method described may be applied to any liquid provided that its vapour pressure is such that any escape of liquid from the weighing tank by vaporization is not sufficient to affect the required measurement accuracy.
34、Closed weighing tanks and their application to the flow measurement of liquids of high vapour pressure are not considered in this International Standard. This International Standard does not cover the cases of corrosive or toxic liquids. Theoretically, there is no limit to the application of this me
35、thod which is used generally in fixed laboratory installations only. However, for economic reasons, usual hydraulic laboratories using this method can produce flow-rates of1.5m 3 /s or less. Owing to its high potential accuracy, this method is often used as a primary method for calibration of other
36、methods or devices for mass flow-rate measurement or volume flow-rate measurement provided that the density of the liquid is known accurately. It must be ensured that the pipeline is running full with no air or vapour pockets present in the measuring section. 1.2 References ISO4006, Measurement of f

42、sed in this International Standard are the SI units, metre, kilogram, and second; the degree Celsius is used for convenience instead of the kelvin. 1.5 Notation 1.6 Certification If the installations for flow-rate measurement by the weighing method are used for purposes of legal metrology, they shou
43、ld be certified and registered by the national metrology service. Such installations are then subject to periodical inspection at stated intervals. If a national metrology service does not exist, a certified record of the basic measurement standards (weight and time), and error analysis in accordanc
44、e with this International Standard and ISO5168, shall also constitute certification for legal metrology purposes. 2 Principle 2.1 Statement of the principle 2.1.1 Static weighing The principle of the flow-rate measurement method by static weighing (for schematic diagrams of typical installations, se
45、e Figure 1A, Figure 1B, Figure 1C) is: to determine the initial mass of the tank plus any residual liquid; to divert the flow into the weighing tank (until it is considered to contain a sufficient quantity to attain the desired accuracy) by operation of the diverter, which actuates a timer to measur
46、e the filling time; to determine the final mass of the tank plus the liquid collected in it. The flow-rate is then derived from the mass collected, the collection time and other data as discussed in clause5 and Annex A.
