Measurement of Gas Flow by Bellmouth Inlet Flowmeters
This standard applies only to the steady flow of single-phase gasses and gas mixtures and applies only to bellmouth inlet flowmeters in which the flow remains subsonic throughout the measuring section and the flow is steady of varies only slowly with time. It also addresses procedures by which calibration of the device can be made to allow for application with consistent conclusions and with known limits of uncertainty.
Bellmouth inlet flowmeters should be used only within the limits for which a given unit is tested, or if additional uncertainty can be tolerated, over a range within which extrapolation is reliable.
This Standard outlines the general geometry and method of use of bellmouth inlet flowmeters to determine the mass or volumetric flow rate of the gas or gas mixture flowing through the device. It also gives necessary information for calculating the flow rate and its associated uncertainty.
