Durchflussmessung von Fluiden mit Drosselgeräten in voll durchströmten Leitungen mit Kreisquerschnitt - Teil 6: Keil-Durchflussmesser (ISO/DIS 5167‑6:2021)
Dieses Dokument legt die Geometrie und Anwendungsverfahren (Einbau und Betriebsbedingungen) von in voll durchströmten Leitungen eingesetzten Keil Durchflussmessern fest, um den Durchfluss der Fluidströmung in der Leitung zu bestimmen.
ANMERKUNG 1 Da die Unsicherheit eines unkalibrierten Keil Durchflussmessers für eine bestimmte Anwendung zu groß sein kann, könnte es als erforderlich angesehen werden, den Durchflussmesser nach Abschnitt 7 zu kalibrieren.
Dieses Dokument enthält Anforderungen an die Kalibrierung, die, wenn sie angewendet werden, für den kalibrierten Bereich der Reynoldszahlen gelten. Abschnitt 7 könnte auch ein nützlicher Leitfaden für die Kalibrierung von Durchflussmessern ähnlicher Ausführung sein, die jedoch nicht in den Anwendungsbereich des vorliegenden Dokuments fallen.
Es gibt auch Hintergrundinformationen für die Durchflussberechnung und gilt in Verbindung mit den in ISO 5167 1 festgelegten Anforderungen.
Dieses Dokument ist nur auf Keil Durchflussmesser anwendbar, in denen die Strömung in allen Messquerschnitten im Unterschallbereich bleibt und das Fluid als einphasig betrachtet werden kann. Unkalibrierte Keil Durchflussmesser können nur innerhalb festgelegter Grenzen von Rohrweite, Rauheit β (oder Keilverhältnis) und Reynoldszahl angewendet werden. Es ist nicht für die Messung von pulsierender Strömung anwendbar. Es behandelt nicht die Anwendung von unkalibrierten Keil Durchflussmessern bei Rohren, deren Innendurchmesser geringer als 50 mm oder größer als 600 mm ist, oder wenn die Rohr Reynoldszahlen unter 1 × 104 liegen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Ein Keil Durchflussmesser verfügt über ein Primärelement, das aus einer keilförmigen Verengung mit spezifischer Geometrie besteht. Es stehen alternative Ausführungen von Keil Durchflussmessern zur Verfügung; zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung der Norm gibt es jedoch nicht genügend Daten, um diese Geräte vollständig zu beschreiben, und deshalb werden diese Durchflussmesser nach Abschnitt 7 kalibriert.

Introduction
ISO 5167, divided into six parts, covers the geometry and method of use (installation and operating
conditions) of orifice plates, nozzles, Venturi tubes, cone and wedge meters when they are inserted in a
conduit running full to determine the flow rate of the fluid flow in the conduit. It also gives necessary
information for calculating the flow rate and its associated uncertainty.ISO 5167 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 it 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 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. However, for wedge meters
calibrated in accordance with Clause 7, a wider range of pipe size, β and Reynolds number can be
considered.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 devices'. ISO 5167 covers primary devices; secondary devices are mentioned
only occasionally.ISO 5167 is divided into 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 Part 2 to Part 6 of
ISO 5167.b) ISO 5167-2 specifies orifice plates, which can be used with corner pressure tappings, D and D/2
pressure tappings , and flange pressure tappings.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.
d) ISO 5167-4 specifies classical Venturi tubes .e) ISO 5167-5 specifies cone meters.
f) ISO 5167-6 specifies wedge meters.

Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure
differential devices inserted in circular cross-section
conduits running full —
Part 6:
Wedge meters
1 Scope
This document specifies the geometry and method of use (installation and operating conditions) of
wedge meters when they are inserted in a conduit running full to determine the flow rate of the fluid
flowing in the conduit.NOTE 1 As the uncertainty of an uncalibrated wedge meter can be too large for a particular application, it
could be deemed essential to calibrate the flow meter according to Clause 7.This document gives requirements for calibration which, if applied, are for use over the calibrated
Reynolds number range. Clause 7 could also be useful guidance for calibration of meters of similar
design but which fall outside the scope of this document.It 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 wedge meters in which the flow remains subsonic throughout
the measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as single-phase. Uncalibrated wedge
meters can only be used within specified limits of pipe size, roughness, beta (or wedge ratio) and
Reynolds number. It is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. It does not cover the use of
uncalibrated wedge meters in pipes whose internal diameter is less than 50 mm or more than 600 mm,
or where the pipe Reynolds numbers are below 1 × 10 .NOTE 2 A wedge meter has a primary element which consists of a wedge-shaped restriction of a specific
geometry. Alternative designs of wedge meters are available; however, at the time of writing there is insufficient
data to fully characterize these devices, and therefore these meters are calibrated in accordance with Clause 7.

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 4006, ISO 5167-1 and the
following apply.ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

wedge gap

the pipe axisNote 1 to entry: See Figure 1.
3.2
wedge ratio
ratio of the wedge gap to the meter inlet diameter, D
Note 1 to entry: See ISO 4006:1991, Clause 2, for the meter inlet diameter, D.
3.3
wedge throat area
minimum cross-sectional open area of the wedge meter
4 Principles of the method of measurement and computation
The principle of the method of measurement is based on the installation of the wedge meter into a
pipeline in which a fluid is running full. Flow through a wedge meter produces a differential pressure
between the upstream and downstream tappings.The mass flow rate can be determined by the following formulae:
C π
q = εβDp2Δ ρ (1)
m 1
1−β
and
β = (2)
A larger β corresponds to a larger wedge gap height, h (see Figure 1), and therefore a larger throat area
A . The value of β can be calculated using Formula (3): 2
1 2h 2h h h
β =−arccos 1 −−21 ×− (3)
π D D D D
NOTE For example, h/D = 0,5 does not correspond to β = 0,5, but to β = √0,5 ≈ 0,707. β = 0,5 corresponds to
h/D ≈ 0,298.© ISO 2021 – All rights reserved

Flow.
Figure 1 — Wedge meter showing different values of wedge ratio
The uncertainty limits 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 sinceq = (4)
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 (5) (or the
computed values in Table A.1) gives wedge meter expansibility factors (ε). The values in Table A.1 are
not intended for precise interpolation. Extrapolation is not permitted. However, for a meter calibrated
according to Clause 7, the coefficient of discharge, C, is generally related to the Reynolds number, Re,
which is itself related to q , 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 wedge gap, h, and the pipe diameter, D, mentioned in Formula (3) are the values of the lengths 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 duri...
