BS EN 24006:1993

This standard BS EN 24006:1993 Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits. Vocabulary and symbols is classified in these ICS categories:

• 01.040.17 Metrology and measurement. Physical phenomena (Vocabularies)
• 17.120.10 Flow in closed conduits

This International Standard defines the terms to be used in the field of measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits, and gives the corresponding symbols.

It has been found necessary to exclude terms which come under the following categories:

1. terms which are self-evident;

2. terms which do not apply specifically to this field, in particular those referring more specifically to flow in open channels (see ISO 772);

3. terms referring to very specific methods of measure¬ment which cannot be the subject of standardization.

Defines terms and symbols including basic fluid mechanics and calculation of uncertainties. Also defines all common types of flowmeter and their operating principle, with illustrations.
