Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits running full - Part 3: Nozzles and Venturi nozzles (ISO 5167-3:2003)

ISO 5167-3:2003 specifies the geometry and method of use (installation and operating conditions) of nozzles and Venturi nozzles when they are inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow-rate of the fluid flowing in the conduit.
ISO 5167-3:2003 also provides background information for calculating the flow-rate and is applicable in conjunction with the requirements given in ISO 5167-1.
ISO 5167-3:2003 is applicable to nozzles and Venturi nozzles in which the flow remains subsonic throughout the measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as single-phase. In addition, each of the devices can only be used within specified limits of pipe size and Reynolds number. It is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. It does not cover the use of nozzles and Venturi nozzles in pipe sizes less than 50 mm or more than 630 mm, or for pipe Reynolds numbers below 10 000.
ISO 5167-3:2003 deals with two types of standard nozzles, the ISA 1932 nozzle and the long radius nozzle, as well as the Venturi nozzle.
The two types of standard nozzle are fundamentally different and are described separately in ISO 5167-3:2003. The Venturi nozzle has the same upstream face as the ISA 1932 nozzle, but has a divergent section and, therefore, a different location for the downstream pressure tappings, and is described separately. This design has a lower pressure loss than a similar nozzle. For both of these nozzles and for the Venturi nozzle 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.

Durchflussmessung von Fluiden mit Drosselgeräten in voll durchströmten Leitungen mit Kreisquerschnitt - Teil 3: Düsen und Venturidüsen (ISO 5167-3:2003)

Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 legt die geometrischen Formen und Maße sowie die Anwendung (Einbau- und Betriebsbedingungen) von Düsen und Venturidüsen, die in einer voll durchströmten Rohrleitung zur Bestimmung des Durchflusses eingebaut sind, fest.
Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 enthält grundlegende Informationen für die Durchflussberechnung und ist gemeinsam mit den in ISO 5167-1 festgelegten Anforderungen anzuwenden.
Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 gilt nur für Düsen und Venturidüsen, in denen die Strömung im gesamten Messquerschnitt im Unterschallbereich liegt und wo das Fluid als einphasig betrachtet werden kann. Weiterhin kann jedes Gerät nur innerhalb festgelegter Grenzen für Rohrdurchmesser, Rohrrauheit, Durchmesserverhältnis und Reynolds-Zahl verwendet werden. Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 gilt nicht für Messungen bei pulsierenden Strömungen, für Rohrdurchmesser kleiner als 50 mm oder größer als 630 mm und für Reynolds-Zahlen unter 10 000.
Dieser Teil von ISO 5167 behandelt
a) zwei Arten von Norm-Düsen:
1) die ISA-1932-Düse );
2) die Langradius-Düse );
b)   die Venturidüse.
Die zwei Arten von Norm-Düsen sind grundsätzlich verschieden und sind in diesem Teil von ISO 5167 getrennt behandelt. Die Venturidüse hat die gleiche Stirnseite auf der Einlaufseite wie die ISA-1932-Düse, aber einen divergierenden Abschnitt und deswegen eine andere Anordnung der Druckentnahmen auf der Auslaufseite und wird deshalb getrennt beschrieben. Diese Ausführung hat einen geringeren Druckverlust als eine gleichartige Düse. Für beide Düsen und für die Venturidüse wurden direkte Kalibrierungen, ausreichend in Anzahl, Spreizung und Qualität, durchgeführt, sodass deren Ergebnisse und Koeffizienten auf ähnliche Anordnungen innerhalb bestimmter Grenzen der Messunsicherheit übertragbar sind.

Mesure de débit des fluides au moyen d'appareils déprimogenes insérés dans des conduites en charge de section circulaire - Partie 3: Tuyeres et Venturi-tuyeres (ISO 5167-3:2003)

L'ISO 5167-3:2003 spécifie la géométrie et le mode d'emploi (conditions d'installation et d'utilisation) de tuyères et de Venturi-tuyères insérés dans une conduite en charge dans le but de déterminer le débit du fluide s'écoulant dans cette conduite.
L'ISO 5167-3:2003 fournit également des informations de fond nécessaires au calcul de ce débit, et il convient de l'utiliser conjointement avec les exigences stipulées dans l'ISO 5167-1.
L'ISO 5167-3:2003 est applicable uniquement aux tuyères et aux Venturi-tuyères utilisés dans les limites spécifiées de diamètre de conduite et de nombre de Reynolds, dans lesquels l'écoulement reste subsonique dans tout le tronçon de mesurage contenant un fluide pouvant être considéré comme monophasique. Elle n'est pas applicable au mesurage d'un écoulement pulsé. Elle ne couvre pas l'utilisation de tuyères et de Venturi-tuyères dans des conduites de diamètre inférieur à 50 mm ou supérieur à 630 mm, ni les cas où les nombres de Reynolds rapportés à la tuyauterie sont inférieurs à 10 000.
L'ISO 5167-3:2003 traite de deux types de tuyères normalisées: de la tuyère ISA 1932 et de la tuyère à long rayon, ainsi que du Venturi-tuyère.
Les deux types de tuyères normalisées sont fondamentalement différents et sont décrits séparément dans l'ISO 5167-3:2003. Le Venturi-tuyère a la même face amont que la tuyère ISA 1932, mais, étant donné qu'il comporte un divergent et, par conséquent, un emplacement différent pour les prises de pression aval, il est également décrit séparément. Ce modèle présente une perte de pression plus basse qu'une tuyère similaire. Pour les deux types de tuyères normalisées et pour le Venturi-tuyère, des étalonnages directs ont été réalisés, en nombre suffisant, sur une gamme suffisante et avec une qualité suffisante pour permettre à des systèmes d'application cohérents de se baser sur leurs résultats et coefficients dans certaines limites prévisibles d'incertitude.

Foreword
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 body 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 Electrotechnical 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 by 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5167-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 30, Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits,
Subcommittee SC 2, Pressure differential devices.
This first edition of ISO 5167-3, together with the second edition of ISO 5167-1 and the first editions of
ISO 5167-2 and ISO 5167-4, cancels and replaces the first edition of ISO 5167-1:1991, which has been
technically revised, and ISO 5167-1:1991/Amd.1:1998.
ISO 5167 consists of the following parts, under the general title Measurement of fluid flow by means of

Introduction
ISO 5167, consisting of four parts, covers the geometry and method of use (installation and operating
conditions) of orifice plates, nozzles and Venturi tubes when they are inserted in a conduit running full to
determine the flowrate of the fluid flowing in the conduit. It also gives necessary information for calculating the
flowrate and its associated uncertainty.
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.
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 for the measurement are known as “secondary
1)
devices”. ISO 5167 (all parts) covers primary devices; secondary devices will be mentioned only occasionally.
ISO 5167 consists of the following four 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 ISO 5167-2, ISO 5167-3 and
ISO 5167-4.
b) ISO 5167-2 specifies orifice plates, which can be used with corner pressure tappings, D and D/2 pressure
2)
tappings , and flange pressure tappings.
3)
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.
4)
d) ISO 5167-4 specifies classical Venturi tubes .
Aspects of safety are not dealt with in Parts 1 to 4 of ISO 5167. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure
that the system meets applicable safety regulations.
___________________________
1) See ISO 2186:1973, Fluid flow in closed conduits — Connections for pressure signal transmissions between primary
and secondary elements.
2) Orifice plates with “vena contracta” pressure tappings are not considered in ISO 5167.
3) ISA is the abbreviation for the International Federation of the National Standardizing Associations, which was
succeeded by ISO in 1946.

This part of ISO 5167 specifies the geometry and method of use (installation and operating conditions) of
nozzles and Venturi nozzles when they are inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flowrate of the
fluid flowing in the conduit.
This part of ISO 5167 also provides background information for calculating the flowrate and is applicable in

ISO 5167-1:2003, Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-
section conduits running full — Part 1: General principles and requirements
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 4006 and ISO 5167-1 apply.
4 Principles of the method of measurement and computation
The principle of the method of measurement is based on the installation of a nozzle or a Venturi nozzle into a
pipeline in which a fluid is running full. The installation of the primary device causes a static pressure
difference between the upstream side and the throat. The flowrate can be determined from the measured
value of this pressure difference and from the knowledge of 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 has been carried out and that the conditions of use are the same, i.e. that it is in
accordance with this part of ISO 5167.
The mass flowrate can be determined by Equation (1):
C π
2
qd=∆ερ2p (1)
m 1
4
4
1− β
The uncertainty limits can be calculated using the procedure given in Clause 8 of ISO 5167-1:2003.
Similarly, the value of the volume flowrate can be calculated since
q
m
q = (2)
V
ρ
where ρ is the fluid density at the temperature and pressure for which the volume is stated.
Computation of the flowrate, which is a purely arithmetic process, is performed by replacing the different items
on the right-hand side of Equation (1) by their numerical values. Tables A.1 to A.4 are given for convenience.
Tables A.1 to A.3 give the values of C as a function of β. Table A.4 gives expansibility (expansion) factors ε.
They are not intended for precise interpolation. Extrapolation is not permitted.
The coefficient of discharge C may be dependent on Re , which is itself dependent on q and has to be

D
m
obtained by iteration. (See ISO 5167-1 for guidance regarding the choice of the iteration procedure and initial
estimates.)
The diameters d and D mentioned in Equation (1) are the values of the diameters at working 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.

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 Nozzles and Venturi nozzles
5.1 ISA 1932 nozzle
5.1.1 General shape
The part of the nozzle inside the pipe is circular. The nozzle consists of a convergent section, of rounded
profile, and a cylindrical throat.
Figure 1 shows the cross-section of an ISA 1932 nozzle at a plane passing through the centreline of the throat.
The letters in the following text refer to those shown on Figure 1.
5.1.2 Nozzle profile
5.1.2.1 The profile of the nozzle may be characterized by distinguishing:
 a flat inlet part A, perpendicular to the centreline;
 a convergent section defined by two arcs of circumference B and C;
 a cylindrical throat E; and
 a recess F which is optional (it is required only if damage to the edge G is feared).
5.1.2.2 The flat inlet part A is limited by a circumference centred on the axis of revolution, with a diameter
of 1,5d, and by the inside circumference of the pipe, of diameter D.
When d = 2D/3, the radial width of this flat part is zero.
When d is greater than 2D/3, the upstream face of the nozzle does not include a flat inlet part within the pipe.
In this case, the nozzle is manufactured as if D is greater than 1,5d, and the inlet flat part is then faced off so
that the largest diameter of the convergent profile is just equal to D [see 5.1.2.7 and Figure 1 b)].
5.1.2.3 The arc of circumference B is tangential to the flat inlet part A when d < 2D/3 while its radius R is
1
equal to 0,2d ± 0,02d for β < 0,5 and to 0,2d ± 0,006d for β W 0,5. Its centre is at 0,2d from the inlet plane and
at 0,75d from the axial centreline.
5.1.2.4 The arc of circumference C is tangential to the arc of circumference B and to the throat E. Its
radius R is equal to d/3 ± 0,033d for β < 0,5 and to d/3 ± 0,01d for β W 0,5. Its centre is at d/2 + d/3 = 5d/6 from

diameters distributed in axial planes and at approximately equal angles to each other.
The throat shall be cylindrical. No diameter of any cross-section shall differ by more than 0,05 % from the
value of the mean diameter. This requirement is considered to be satisfied when the deviations in the length of
any of the measured diameters comply with the said requirement in respect of deviation from the mean.

5.1.2.8 The profile of the convergent inlet shall be checked by means of a template.
Two diameters of the convergent inlet in the same plane perpendicular to the axial centreline shall not differ
from each other by more than 0,1 % of their mean value.
5.1.2.9 The surface of the upstream face and the throat shall be polished such that they have a

5.1.3 Downstream face
5.1.3.1 The thickness H shall not exceed 0,1D.
5.1.3.2 Apart from the condition given in 5.1.3.1, the profile and the surface finish of the downstream face
are not specified (see 5.1.1).
5.1.4 Material and manufacture
The ISA 1932 nozzle may be manufactured from any material and in any way, provided that it remains in
accordance with the foregoing description during flow measurement.
5.1.5 Pressure tappings
5.1.5.1 Corner pressure tappings shall be used upstream of the nozzle.
The upstream pressure tappings may be either single tappings or annular slots. Both types of tappings may
be located either in the pipe or its flanges or in carrier rings as shown in Figure 1.
The spacing between the centrelines of individual upstream tappings and face A is equal to half the diameter
or to half the width of the tappings themselves, so that the tapping holes break through the wall flush with
face A. The centreline of individual upstream tappings shall meet the centreline of the primary device at an
angle of as near 90° as possible.
The diameter δ of a single upstream tapping and the width a of annular slots are specified below. The
1
minimum diameter is determined in practice by the need to prevent accidental blockage and to give
satisfactory dynamic performance.
For clean fluids and vapours:
 for β u 0,65: 0,005D u a or δ u 0,03D;

 for β > 0,65: 0,01D u a or δ u 0,02D.

The annular slots usually break through the pipe over the entire perimeter, with no break in continuity. If not,
each annular chamber shall connect with the inside of the pipe by at least four openings, the axes of which
2
are at equal angles to one another and the individual opening area of which is at least 12 mm .
The internal diameter b of the carrier rings shall be greater than or equal to the diameter D of the pipe, to
ensure that they do not protrude into the pipe, but shall be less than or equal to 1,04D. Moreover, the following
condition shall be met:

The length c of the upstream ring (see Figure 1) shall not be greater than 0,5D.
The thickness f of the slot shall be greater than or equal to twice the width a of the annular slot. The area of
the cross-section of the annular chamber, gh, shall be greater than or equal to half the total area of the
opening connecting this chamber to the inside of the pipe.
All surfaces of the ring which are in contact with the measured fluid shall be clean and shall have a well-
machined finish.
The pressure tappings connecting the annular chambers to the secondary devices are pipe-wall tappings,
circular at the point of break-through and with a diameter j between 4 mm and 10 mm.
The upstream and downstream carrier rings need not necessarily be symmetrical in relation to each other, but
they shall both conform to the preceding requirements.
The diameter of the pipe shall be measured as specified in 6.4.2, the carrier ring being regarded as part of the
primary device. This also applies to the distance requirement given in 6.4.4 so that s shall be measured from
the upstream edge of the recess formed by the carrier ring.
5.1.5.2 The downstream pressure tappings may either be corner tappings as described in 5.1.5.1 or be
as described in the remainder of this section.
The distance between the centre of the tapping and the upstream face of the nozzle shall be
 u 0,15D for β u 0,67
 u 0,20D for β > 0,67
When installing the pressure tappings, due account shall be taken of the thickness of the gaskets and/or
sealing material.
The centreline of the tapping shall meet the pipe centreline at an angle as near to 90° as possible but in every
case within 3° of the perpendicular. At the point of break-through, the hole shall be circular. The edges shall
be flush with the internal surface of the pipe wall and as sharp as possible. To ensure the elimination of all
burrs or wire edges at the inner edge, rounding is permitted but shall be kept as small as possible and, where
it can be measured, its radius shall be less than one-tenth of the pressure-tapping diameter. No irregularity
shall appear inside the connecting hole, on the edges of the hole drilled in the pipe wall or on t
