Description (English):

The specified measuring methods are built upon the determination of the volume of liquid collected in a volumetric tank in a known time interval. Deals in particular with the measuring apparatus, the procedure, the method for calculating the flow-rate and the assessment of uncertainties associated with the measurements.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 8316:1995 - Measurement of liquid flow in closed conduits by collection in a volumetric tank - specifies a volumetric tank (gauge) method for determining liquid flow-rate in closed conduits. The standard covers apparatus, procedures, calibration (level–volume relationship), calculation of flow-rate and the assessment of measurement uncertainty. It is commonly used as a primary or reference method for calibrating flowmeters and for high-accuracy laboratory and legal‑metrology applications.

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope and applicability
- Intended for liquids with sufficiently low vapor pressure and viscosity, and that are non‑toxic and non‑corrosive.
- Practically used for flow-rates typically up to about 1.5 m3/s and mainly in fixed laboratory installations.
Measurement principles
- Static gauging: determine initial and final tank volumes by level readings before and after diversion for a known time.
- Dynamic gauging: determine net collected volume from continuous level measurement while flow is delivered to the tank.
Apparatus & setup
- Volumetric tank with established level–volume calibration (transfer volumes or dimensional methods).
- Diverter or valve that redirects flow to the tank without changing the flow-rate; diverter travel should be fast (recommended
