ISO 2715:2017 PDF

ISO 2715:2017 describes and discusses the characteristics of turbine flowmeters. Attention is given to the factors to be considered in the application of turbine meters to liquid metering. These include the properties and nature of the liquid to be metered, the correct installation and operation of the meter, environmental effects, and the wide choice of secondary and ancillary equipment. Aspects of meter proving and maintenance are also discussed. ISO 2715:2017 is applicable to the metering of any appropriate liquid. Guidance is given on the use of turbine meters in the metering of two-component liquid mixtures such as water and oil. It is not applicable to two-phase flow when gases or solids are present under metering conditions (i.e. two-phase flow). It can be applied to the many and varied liquids encountered in industry for liquid metering and is not restricted to hydrocarbons. Guidance on the performance expected for fiscal/custody transfer applications for hydrocarbons is outlined. ISO 2715:2017 is not applicable to cryogenic liquids, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and refrigerated petroleum gas. It does not cover potable water applications.
