Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits running full - Part 5: Cone meters (ISO 5167-5:2022)
This document specifies the geometry and method of use (installation and operating conditions) of
cone meters when they are inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow rate of the fluid
flowing in the conduit.
As the uncertainty of an uncalibrated cone meter might be too high for a particular application, it might
be deemed essential to calibrate the flow meter in accordance with Clause 7.
This document also provides background information for calculating the flow rate and is applicable in
conjunction with the requirements given in ISO 5167-1.
This document is applicable only to cone meters in which the flow remains subsonic throughout the
measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as single-phase. Uncalibrated cone meters can
only be used within specified limits of pipe size, roughness, β, and Reynolds number, Re. This document
is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. It does not cover the use of uncalibrated cone
meters in pipes sized less than 50 mm or more than 500 mm, or where the pipe Reynolds numbers are
below 8 × 104 or greater than 1,2 × 107.
A cone meter is a primary device which consists of a cone-shaped restriction held concentrically in
the centre of the pipe with the nose of the cone upstream. The design of cone meter defined in this
document has one or more upstream pressure tappings in the wall, and a downstream pressure tapping
positioned in the back face of the cone with the connection to a differential pressure transmitter being
a hole through the cone to the support bar, and then up through the support bar.
Alternative designs of cone meters are available; however, at the time of writing, there is insufficient
data to fully characterize these devices, and therefore, these meters shall be calibrated in accordance
with Clause 7.
Durchflussmessung von Fluiden mit Drosselgeräten in voll durchströmten Leitungen mit Kreisquerschnitt - Teil 5: Konus-Durchflussmesser (ISO 5167-5:2022)
Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 legt die Geometrie und Anwendungsverfahren (Einbau und Betriebsbedingungen) von in voll durchströmten Leitungen eingesetzten Konus Durchflussmessern fest, um die Durchflussrate des in den Leitungen hindurchfließenden Fluids zu bestimmen.
Da die Unsicherheit eines unkalibrierten Konus Durchflussmessers für eine bestimmte Anwendung zu groß sein könnte, könnte es erforderlich sein, den Durchflussmesser nach Abschnitt 7 zu kalibrieren.
Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 gibt auch Hintergrundinformationen für die Berechnung der Durchflussrate und gilt in Verbindung mit den in ISO 5167 1 festgelegten Anforderungen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 ist nur auf Konus Durchflussmesser anwendbar, in denen der Durchfluss über den gesamten Messbereich im Unterschallbereich bleibt und in dem das Fluid als einphasig bezeichnet werden kann. Unkalibrierte Konus Durchflussmesser können nur innerhalb festgelegter Grenzen von Rohrgröße, Rauheit, β und Reynoldszahl angewendet werden. Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 ist nicht für die Messung von pulsierendem Durchfluss anwendbar. Er behandelt nicht die Anwendung von unkalibrierten Durchflussmessern bei Rohrweiten unter 50 mm oder über 500 mm, oder wenn die Rohr Reynoldszahlen unter 8 × 104 liegen oder über 1,2 × 107.
Ein Konus Durchflussmesser ist ein Primärgerät, das aus einer konusförmigen Verengung besteht, die konzentrisch in der Mitte des Rohres mit der Konusspitze gegen die Durchflussrichtung gehalten wird. Die konstruktive Ausführung des in diesem Teil von ISO 5167 festgelegten Konus Durchflussmessers hat eine oder mehrere zulaufseitig (stromaufwärts) in der Wandung gelegene Druckentnahmen und eine ablaufseitig (stromabwärts) auf der Rückseite des Konus gelegene Druckentnahme(stelle) mit einer Verbindung über eine Bohrung durch den Konus zur Haltevorrichtung und dann durch die Haltevorrichtung nach oben zu einem Differenzdruckmessumformer.
Es stehen alternative Ausführungen von Konus Durchflussmessern zur Verfügung; zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung der Norm gibt es jedoch nicht genügend Daten, um diese Durchflussmesser vollständig zu beschreiben, und deshalb müssen diese Durchflussmesser nach Abschnitt 7 kalibriert werden.
Mesurage de débit des fluides au moyen d'appareils déprimogènes insérés dans des conduites en charge de section circulaire - Partie 5: Cônes de mesure (ISO 5167-5:2022)
Le présent document spécifie la géométrie et le mode d’emploi (conditions d’installation et d’utilisation) de cônes de mesure insérés dans une conduite en charge dans le but de déterminer le débit du fluide s’écoulant dans cette conduite.
Étant donné que l’incertitude d’un cône de mesure non étalonné risque d’être trop élevée pour une application particulière, l’étalonnage du débitmètre conformément à l’Article 7 peut être considéré comme essentiel.
Le présent document fournit également des informations de fond nécessaires au calcul du débit et il est applicable conjointement avec les exigences stipulées dans l’ISO 5167‑1.
Le présent document est applicable uniquement aux cônes de mesure pour lesquels l’écoulement reste subsonique dans tout le tronçon de mesurage et où le fluide peut être considéré comme monophasique. Les cônes de mesure non étalonnés ne peuvent être utilisés que dans des limites spécifiées de diamètre de conduite, de rugosité, de valeur de β et de nombre de Reynolds, Re. Le présent document n’est pas applicable au mesurage d’un écoulement pulsé. Elle ne couvre pas l’utilisation de cônes de mesure non étalonnés dans des conduites de diamètre inférieur à 50 mm ou supérieur à 500 mm, ni les cas où les nombres de Reynolds associés à la tuyauterie sont inférieurs à 8 × 104 ou supérieurs à 1,2 × 107.
Un cône de mesure est un élément primaire composé d’une restriction conique maintenue de manière concentrique au centre de la conduite, le nez du cône étant situé en amont. La conception d’un cône de mesure définie dans le présent document comprend une ou plusieurs prises de pression amont dans la paroi et une prise de pression aval positionnée dans la face arrière du cône. Le raccordement à un transmetteur de pression différentielle se fait par un trou dans le cône menant à la barre de support, puis vers le haut à travers la barre de support.
D’autres conceptions de cônes de mesure sont possibles; cependant, au moment de la rédaction de cette norme, les données permettant de caractériser complètement ces appareils étaient insuffisantes et ces derniers doivent donc être étalonnés conformément à l’Article 7.

Ta dokument določa geometrijo in metodo uporabe (namestitev in pogoji delovanja) stožčastih merilnikov, kadar so vstavljeni v polno zapolnjen vod za ugotavljanje hitrosti pretoka fluida skozi vod. Ker je lahko stopnja negotovosti neumerjenega stožčastega merilnika previsoka za ustrezni način uporabe, je morda treba nujno umeriti merilnik pretoka v skladu s točko 7. Prav tako podaja dodatne informacije za izračunavanje hitrosti pretoka in se uporablja skupaj z zahtevami iz standarda ISO 5167-1. Ta dokument se uporablja samo za stožčaste merilnike, ki v predelu merjenja ohranjajo podzvočen pretok in pri katerih se lahko fluid obravnava kot enofazen. Neumerjene stožčaste merilnike je mogoče uporabljati samo v okviru določenih omejitev glede velikosti cevi, hrapavosti, koeficienta beta in Reynoldsovega števila (Re). Ta dokument se ne uporablja za merjenje utripajočega pretoka. Ne obravnava uporabe neumerjenih stožčastih merilnikov v ceveh z velikostjo pod 50 mm ali nad 500 mm, ali pri katerih so Reynoldsova števila za cevi manj kot 8 × 104 ali več kot 1,2 × 107. Stožčasti merilnik je osnovna naprava, sestavljena iz stožčastega omejevalnika, ki je postavljen koncentrično v središču cevi, pri čemer je konica stožca obrnjena proti toku. Zasnova stožčastega merilnika, določenega v tem dokumentu, vključuje vsaj en tlačni odcep v steni (proti toku) in en tlačni odcep (v smeri toka) na zadnji strani stožca s povezavo do prenosnika diferencialnega tlaka v obliki odprtine skozi stožec do opornika in skozi opornik. Na voljo so tudi druge zasnove stožčastih meril, vendar v času pisanja ni zadostnih podatkov za ustrezno označevanje teh naprav. Zaradi tega je treba tovrstna merila umeriti v skladu s točko 7.

Introduction
ISO 5167, consisting of six parts, covers the geometry and method of use (installation and operating
conditions) of orifice plates, nozzles, Venturi tubes, cone meters and wedge meters when they are
inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow rate of the fluid in the conduit. It also gives
necessary information for calculating the flow rate and its associated uncertainty. ISO 5167 (all parts)
also provides methodology for bespoke calibration of differential pressure meters.
ISO 5167 (all parts) is applicable only to pressure differential devices in which the flow remains
subsonic throughout the measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as single-phase, but
is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. Furthermore, each of these devices can only be
used within specified limits of pipe size and Reynolds number, or alternatively they can be used across
their calibrated range.
ISO 5167 (all parts) deals with devices for which direct calibration experiments have been made
sufficient in number, spread, and quality to enable coherent systems of application to be based on their
results and coefficients to be given with certain predictable limits of uncertainty.
The devices introduced into the pipe are called primary devices. The term primary device also includes
the pressure tappings. All other instruments or devices required to facilitate the instrument readings
are known as secondary devices, and the flow computer that receives these readings and performs
the algorithms is known as a tertiary device. ISO 5167 (all parts) covers primary devices; secondary
devices (see ISO 2186) and tertiary devices will be mentioned only occasionally.
Aspects of safety are not dealt with in ISO 5167 (all parts). It is the responsibility of the user to ensure
that the system meets applicable safety regulations.

1 Scope
This document specifies the geometry and method of use (installation and operating conditions) of
cone meters when they are inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow rate of the fluid
flowing in the conduit.
As the uncertainty of an uncalibrated cone meter might be too high for a particular application, it might
be deemed essential to calibrate the flow meter in accordance with Clause 7.
This document also provides background information for calculating the flow rate and is applicable in
conjunction with the requirements given in ISO 5167-1.
This document is applicable only to cone meters in which the flow remains subsonic throughout the
measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as single-phase. Uncalibrated cone meters can
only be used within specified limits of pipe size, roughness, β, and Reynolds number, Re. This document
is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. It does not cover the use of uncalibrated cone
meters in pipes sized less than 50 mm or more than 500 mm, or where the pipe Reynolds numbers are
4 7
below 8 × 10 or greater than 1,2 × 10 .
A cone meter is a primary device which consists of a cone-shaped restriction held concentrically in
the centre of the pipe with the nose of the cone upstream. The design of cone meter defined in this
document has one or more upstream pressure tappings in the wall, and a downstream pressure tapping

Alternative designs of cone meters are available; however, at the time of writing, there is insufficient
data to fully characterize these devices, and therefore, these meters shall be calibrated in accordance
with Clause 7.

4 Principles of the method of measurement and computation
The principle of the method of measurement is based on the installation of the cone meter into a pipeline
in which a fluid is running full. Flow through a cone meter produces a differential pressure between the
upstream and downstream tappings.
The mass flow rate can be determined by Formulae (1) and (2):

Similarly, the value of the volume flow rate can be calculated since

q = (3)
V
ρ
where ρ is the fluid density at the temperature and pressure for which the volume is stated.
Computation of the flow rate, which is a purely arithmetic process, is performed by replacing the
different items on the right-hand side of Formula (1) by their numerical values. Formula (4) in 5.6 (or the
computed values in Table A.1) gives cone meter expansibility factors, ε. The values in Table A.1 are not
intended for precise interpolation. Extrapolation is not permitted. However, the discharge coefficient,
C, is generally dependent on the Reynolds number, Re, which is itself dependent on q , and has to be
m
obtained by iteration (see ISO 5167-1:2022, Annex A for guidance regarding the choice of iteration
procedure and initial estimates).
The diameters, d and D, mentioned in Formulae (1) and (2) are the values of the diameters at working
c
conditions. Measurements taken at any other conditions should be corrected for any possible expansion
or contraction of the primary device and the pipe due to the values of the temperature and pressure of
the fluid during the measurement.
As the cone meter flow rate calculation is particularly sensitive to the pipe and cone diameter values
used, the user shall ensure that these are correctly entered into the flow computation calculations. For
example, care shall be taken to use the measured internal diameter rather than a nominal value.
It is necessary to know the density and the viscosity of the fluid at working conditions. In the case
of a compressible fluid, it is also necessary to know the isentropic exponent of the fluid at working
conditions.
5 Cone meters
5.1 Field of application
Uncalibrated cone meters can be used in pipes with diameters between 50 mm and 500 mm and with
0,45 ≤ β ≤ 0,75. Cone meters with β > 0,75 shall be calibrated. Cone meters with values of β < 0,45 are
not normally manufactured.
There are limits to the roughness and Reynolds number which shall be addressed.
5.2 General shape
5.2.1 Figure 2 shows a section through the centreline of a cone meter. Figure 4 shows other sections
through the meter to aid in the metrology of the cone meter. The letters used in the text refer to those
shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4.
The cone meter is made up of a pipe section of diameter, D, which houses the cone assembly with cone
diameter, d , the support structure for the cone, and the tappings for differential pressure measurement.
c
The cone assembly is installed such that the cone centreline is concentric to the centreline of the pipe
section, as per 5.2.13.

Introduction
ISO 5167, consisting of six parts, covers the geometry and method of use (installation and operating
conditions) of orifice plates, nozzles, Venturi tubes, cone meters and wedge meters when they are
inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow rate of the fluid in the conduit. It also gives
necessary information for calculating the flow rate and its associated uncertainty. ISO 5167 also
provides methodology for bespoke calibration of differential pressure meters.
ISO 5167 (all parts) is applicable only to pressure differential devices in which the flow remains
subsonic throughout the measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as single-phase, but
is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. Furthermore, each of these devices can only be
used within specified limits of pipe size and Reynolds number, or alternatively they can be used across
their calibrated range.
ISO 5167 (all parts) deals with devices for which direct calibration experiments have been made
sufficient in number, spread, and quality to enable coherent systems of application to be based on their
results and coefficients to be given with certain predictable limits of uncertainty.
The devices introduced into the pipe are called primary devices. The term primary device also includes
the pressure tappings. All other instruments or devices required to facilitate the instrument readings
are known as secondary devices, and the flow computer that receives these readings and performs
the algorithms is known as a tertiary device. ISO 5167 (all parts) covers primary devices; secondary
[1],[5]
devices and tertiary devices will be mentioned only occasionally .
ISO 5167 consists of the following six parts:
a) ISO 5167-1 gives general terms and definitions, symbols, principles, and requirements as well as
methods of measurement and uncertainty that are to be used in conjunction with Parts 2 to 6 of
ISO 5167.
b) ISO 5167-2 specifies orifice plates, which can be used with corner pressure tappings, D and D/2
1)
pressure tappings , and flange pressure tappings.
2)
c) ISO 5167-3 specifies ISA 1932 nozzles , long radius nozzles, and Venturi nozzles, which differ in
shape and in the position of the pressure tappings. Throat-tapped long-radius nozzles are included.
3)
d) ISO 5167-4 specifies classical Venturi tubes .
e) ISO 5167-5 specifies cone meters.
f) ISO 5167-6 specifies wedge meters.
Aspects of safety are not dealt with in ISO 5167 (all parts). It is the responsibility of the user to ensure
that the system meets applicable safety regulations.
1) Orifice plates with 'vena contracta' pressure tappings are not considered in ISO 5167 (all parts).
2) ISA is the abbreviation for the International Federation of the National Standardizing Associations, which was
succeeded by ISO in 1946.
3) In the USA, the classical Venturi tube is sometimes called the Herschel Venturi tube.

Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure
differential devices inserted in circular cross-section
conduits running full —
Part 5:
Cone meters
1 Scope
This part of ISO 5167 specifies the geometry and method of use (installation and operating conditions)
of cone meters when they are inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow rate of the fluid
flowing in the conduit.
As the uncertainty of an uncalibrated cone meter might be too high for a particular application, it might
be deemed essential to calibrate the flow meter in accordance with Clause 7.
This part of ISO 5167 also provides background information for calculating the flow rate and is
applicable in conjunction with the requirements given in ISO 5167-1.
This part of ISO 5167 is applicable only to cone meters in which the flow remains subsonic throughout
the measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as single-phase. Uncalibrated cone meters
can only be used within specified limits of pipe size, roughness, β, and Reynolds number. This part of
ISO 5167 is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. It does not cover the use of uncalibrated
cone meters in pipes sized less than 50 mm or more than 500 mm, or where the pipe Reynolds numbers
4 7
are below 8 × 10 or greater than 1,2 × 10 .
A cone meter is a primary device which consists of a cone-shaped restriction held concentrically in the
centre of the pipe with the nose of the cone upstream. The design of cone meter defined in this part of
ISO 5167 has one or more upstream pressure tappings in the wall, and a downstream pressure tapping
positioned in the back face of the cone with the connection to a differential pressure transmitter being
a hole through the cone to the support bar, and then up through the support bar.
Alternative designs of cone meters are available; however, at the time of writing, there is insufficient
data to fully characterize these devices, and therefore, these meters shall be calibrated in accordance
with Clause 7.

4 Principles of the method of measurement and computation
The principle of the method of measurement is based on the installation of the cone meter into a pipeline
in which a fluid is running full. Flow through a cone meter produces a differential pressure between the
upstream and downstream tappings.
The mass flow rate can be determined by Formulae (1) and (2):

where d is the diameter of the cone in the plane of the beta edge. This assumes that the diameter of

shows that as the cone diameter increases, β decreases.

The uncertainty can be calculated using the procedure given in ISO 5167-1:2003, Clause 8.
Similarly, the value of the volume flow rate can be calculated since

where ρ is the fluid density at the temperature and pressure for which the volume is stated.

ISO/DIS 5167-5:2021(E)
Computation of the flow rate, which is a purely arithmetic process, is performed by replacing the
different items on the right-hand side of Formula (1) by their numerical values. Formula (4) in 5.6 (or
the computed values in Table A.1) gives cone meter expansibility factors (ε). The values in Table A.1
are not intended for precise interpolation. Extrapolation is not permitted. However, the coefficient
of discharge, C, is generally dependent on the Reynolds number, Re, which is itself dependent on q ,
m
and has to be obtained by iteration (see ISO 5167-1:2003, Annex A for guidance regarding the choice of
iteration procedure and initial estimates).
The diameters, d and D, mentioned in Formulae (1) and (2) are the values of the diameters at working
c
conditions. Measurements taken at any other conditions should be corrected for any possible expansion
or contraction of the primary device and the pipe due to the values of the temperature and pressure of
the fluid during the measurement.
As the cone meter flow rate calculation is particularly sensitive to the pipe and cone diameter values
used, the user shall ensure that these are correctly entered into the flow computation calculations. For
example, care shall be taken to use the measured internal diameter rather than a nominal value.
It is necessary to know the density and the viscosity of the fluid at working conditions. In the case
of a compressible fluid, it is also necessary to know the isentropic exponent of the fluid at working
conditions.
5 Cone meters
5.1 Field of application
Uncalibrated cone meters can be used in pipes with diameters between 50 mm and 500 mm and with
0,45 ≤ β ≤ 0,75. Cone meters with β > 0,75 shall be calibrated. Cone meters with values of β < 0,45 are
not normally manufactured.
There are limits to the roughness and Reynolds number which shall be addressed.
5.2 General shape
Figure 2 shows a section through the centreline of a cone meter. Figure 4 shows other sections through
the meter to aid in the metrology of the cone meter. The letters used in the text refer to those shown in
Figure 2 and Figure 4.
The cone meter is made up of a pipe section of diameter, D, which houses the cone assembly with cone
diameter, d , the support structure for the cone, and the tappings for differential pressure measurement.
c
The cone assembly is installed such that the cone centreline is concentric to the centreline of the pipe
section, as per 5.2.13.
