This International Standard specifies the geometry and method of use (installation in a system and operating
conditions) of critical flow Venturi nozzles (CFVN) used to determine the mass flow-rate of a gas flowing
through a system. It also gives the information necessary for calculating the flow-rate and its associated
uncertainty.
It is applicable to Venturi nozzles in which the gas flow accelerates to the critical velocity at the throat (this
being equal to the Focal sonic velocity), and only where there is steady flow of single-phase gases. At the
critical velocity, the mass flow-rate of the gas flowing through the Venturi nozzle is the maximum possible for
the existing upstream conditions while CFVN can only be used within specified limits, e.g. limits for the nozzle
throat to inlet diameter ratio and throat Reynolds number. This International Standard deals with CFVN for
which direct calibration experiments have been made in sufficient number to enable the resulting coefficients
to be used with certain predictable limits of uncertainty.
Information is given for cases where the pipeline upstream of the CFVN is of circular cross-section, or it can
be assumed that there is a large space upstream of the CFVN or upstream of a set of CFVN mounted in a
cluster. The cluster configuration offers the possibility of installing CFVN in parallel, thereby achieving high
flow-rates.
For high-accuracy measurement, accurately machined Venturi nozzles are described for Iow Reynolds
number applications.
