ISO-5167 Flowrate Calculations

Introduction

ISO-5167 Flow Rate Calculations is a mobile application for Android, intended for both experts in the field of automation and metrology, and students of technical specialties. It implements methods for calculating the flow rate of liquids, vapors and gases by measuring the differential pressure on primary devices as the substances pass through them.

These methods are regulated by the ISO-5167 standard and consider the following primary devices:

The program accept some input parameters related to both the design of the primary device and the physical properties of the measured substance. Thanks to Hummeling Engineering many water and vapor properties, such as density, viscosity, adiabatic index and so on are calculated automatically depending on the pressure and temperature of the measured substance. The calculations are absolutely transparent, the intermediate results of the calculation are displayed in a handy report in the form of a WEB page. Sample reports are shown at the bottom of the page.

Material properties editors

The properties of the materials from which the primary device and the pipeline are made have an influence on the calculation of the flow rate or differential pressure across the device.
The most important are the temperature coefficient of linear expansion of the metal of the primary device and the coefficient of surface roughness of the pipeline.

The ISO-5167 Flowrate Application contains both a table of metals for determining the coefficient of thermal expansion of a primary device for measuring flow, as well as a table of surface roughness of a pipeline.
Initially, the tables are filled with primary data in accordance with ISO-5167 / GOST 8.586.X-2005 standards.
Users of the application can edit the tables - change, delete rows. Add their own data.
Below are the default table values:

Table of thermal coefficients of expansion of metals

In the program, the change in the size of the primary device depending on the temperature, is calculated by the formula:

αt = 10^-6[a0 + a1(t / 1000) + a2(t / 1000)²], where

t is the temperature;
a0, a1 a2 - constant coefficients determined in accordance with table 1.
