BS EN ISO 5167-6:2019

Accurate, Compliant Fluid Flow Measurement with BS EN ISO 5167-6:2019

BS EN ISO 5167-6:2019 is the essential standard for organizations that require precise, reliable fluid flow measurement. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard provides comprehensive guidelines for using differential pressure devices to measure the flow of liquids, gases, and vapors.

Ensure Precise, Repeatable Flow Measurement

Accurate flow measurement is critical for process control, custody transfer, and regulatory compliance across a wide range of industries, including:

• Oil and gas
• Petrochemicals
• Power generation
• Water and wastewater treatment
• HVAC systems

BS EN ISO 5167-6:2019 provides the technical specifications and guidelines necessary to ensure your flow measurement devices deliver precise, repeatable results. Key features of the standard include:

• Comprehensive coverage: Addresses the use of all types of differential pressure flow measurement devices, including orifice plates, Venturi tubes, flow nozzles, and wedge flow meters.
• Detailed installation requirements: Specifies the necessary upstream and downstream pipe lengths, flow conditioner placement, and other installation parameters to ensure optimal performance.
• Rigorous uncertainty analysis: Outlines methods for calculating the overall uncertainty of flow measurement, enabling you to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Guidance on calibration and maintenance: Provides recommendations for calibrating flow measurement devices and performing routine maintenance to maintain accuracy over time.

Ensure Compliance and Mitigate Risks

Compliance with BS EN ISO 5167-6:2019 is essential for organizations that must adhere to industry regulations, contractual requirements, or internal quality standards. By following the guidelines outlined in this standard, you can:

• Avoid costly penalties and legal disputes: Ensure your flow measurement practices meet all applicable regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance fines or legal action.
• Improve process efficiency and control: Achieve greater accuracy and repeatability in your flow measurement, leading to more efficient process control and optimization.
• Enhance product quality and safety: Accurate flow measurement is essential for maintaining consistent product quality and ensuring the safe operation of industrial processes.
• Strengthen customer confidence: Demonstrate your commitment to quality and compliance, which can help build trust with customers and regulatory authorities.

Whether you're working in the oil and gas, power generation, or water treatment industries, BS EN ISO 5167-6:2019 is an essential resource for ensuring accurate, compliant fluid flow measurement. By investing in this comprehensive standard, you can optimize your processes, mitigate risks, and drive long-term business success.
