16、O 12242:2012ISO 12242:2012(E)ForewordISO (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 body intereste
17、d 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 Electrotechnical Com
18、mission (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 by the technica
19、l 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.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall
20、 not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 12242 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 30, Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits, Subcommittee SC 5, Velocity and mass methodsnullnull nullnullnull 2012 null nullnullnull nullnullnullnullnullnull nullnullnull

Ultrasonic technology has inherent features su
22、ch as no pressure loss and wide rangeability.USMs can deliver diagnostic information through which it may be possible to demonstrate that an ultrasonic liquid flowmeter is performing in accordance with specification. Owing to the extended diagnostic capabilities, this International Standard advocate
23、s the addition and use of automated diagnostics instead of labour-intensive quality checks. The use of automated diagnostics makes possible a condition-based maintenance system.nullnull null nullnullnull 2012 null nullnullnull nullnullnullnullnullnull nullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullBS ISO 12242:201

It covers both in-line and clamp-on transducers (used in configurations in which the beam is non-refracted and in those in which it is refracted). Included are both meters incorporating meter bodi
27、es and meters with field-mounted transducers.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
