FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by theWeights and Measures Sectional Committee had been approved by the Production and GeneralEngineering Division Council.
This standard is taken-for measuring the gas consumption at the bulk suppliers as well as at the users’end, when the gas is supplied through the pipelines. In order to meet the requirement of bulk supplierand large consumer, this standard has been formulated for accuracy of metering system and regulationof gas at different delivery point to fulfill the consumer satisfaction. This standard determines the flow bymeans of measurement of the differential pressure by orifice meter. The differential pressure is inducedby the flow of gas through a thin plate with a sharp square-edge-opening which is circular and concentricwith the pipeline. While measuring the flow rate, this standard indicates the differential pressure, gastemperature, “pressure density, viscosity etc.
In preparing the standard considerable assistance has been derived from the following publication:
“ISO 5167-2:2003 ‘Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted incircular-cross section conduits running full — Part 2: Orifice plates’
AGA 3 ‘American Gas Authority Report for Orifice Plate Meters’
Wherever comma (,) has been given in a formula or table in between numerals, it should be read asdecimal (.) mark.
Annexes A, B are for information only.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the finalvalue, observed or calculated expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordancewith IS 2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revkecf)’. The number of significant placesretained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

FLUIDS BY ORIFICE PLATE METERS
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies the geometry andmethod of use (installation and operatingconditions) of orifice plates when they are insertedin a conduit running full to determine the flow rateof the fluid flowing in the conduit. This standardalso provides background information for calculatingthe flow rate and is applicable in conjunction withthe requirements.
1.2 This standard is applicable to primary deviceshaving an orifice plate used with flange pressuretappings. Other pressure tappings such as venacontracta and pipe tappings used with orifice platesare not covered by this standard. This standard isapplicable only to a flow which remains subsonicthroughout the measuring section and where thefluid can be considered as single phase. It is notapplicable to the measurement of pulsating flow.It does not cover the use of orifice plates in pipesizes less than 50 mm or more than 1 000 mm, orfor pipe Reynolds number below 5000.
1.3 This standard is used for custody transfer ofnatural gas and fluids.

Title
Measurement of fluid flow bymeans of pressure differentialdevices inserted in circular-cross section conduits runningfull — Part 1: General principlesand requirements
3 PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD OFMEASUREMENT AND COMPUTATION
3.1 The principle of the method of measurementis based on the installation of an orifice plate intoa pipeline in which a fluid is running full. The
presence of the orifice plate causes a staticpressure difference between the upstream and
downst~eam sides .of the plate. The mass flow rate,qmcan be determined as follows:
‘“= J+ ‘:d’@=where p is the fluid density at the temperature andpressure for which volume is stated.
3.2 The uncertainty limits can be calculatedusing the procedure given in 8 of ISO 5167-1.Computation of the mass flow rate, which is apurely arithmetic process, can be performed byreplacing the different terms on the right hand sideof the above equation by their numerical values.
Similarly, the value of volume flow rate, qv iscalculated from:
qv=~P
where p is the fluid density at the temperatureandpressure for which the volume is stated.
The coefficient of discharge, C, is dependent onthe Reynolds number, f?., which is itselfdependent on qmand is to be obtained by iteration(see Annex A of ISO 5167-1) for guidanceregarding the choice of the iteration procedureand initial estimates.
3.3 The diameters d and D merrtioned in theformula are the values of the diameters at workingconditions. Measurements taken at any otherconditions shall be corrected for any possibleexpansion or contraction of the orifice plate andthe pipe due to the values of the temperature andpressure of the fluid during the measurement.
It is necessary to know the density and theviscosity of the fluid at the working conditions.In the case of a compressible fluid, it is alsonecessary to know the isentropic exponent ofthe fluid at working conditions.

5.4 Orifice Plate Faces
The upstream and downstream faces of the orificeplate shall be flat. Deviations from flatness on theorifice pIate of less than or equal to 1 percent ofdam height (that is, 0.025 mm per mm of damheight) under non-flowing conditions are allowed.The dam height.can be calculated from the formula(D~ - dJ/2.This critericm for flatness applies to anytwo points on the orifice plate within the dimensionsof the inside diameter of the pipe. The departurefrom flatness is illustrated in Fig. 1,2 and 3.
The surface roughness of the upstream anddownstream faces of the orifice plate shall fiaveno abrasions or scratches visible to the naked eyethat exceeds 1.25 microns R,.
The orifice plate surface roughness may be verifiedby using an electronic-averaging-type surfaceroughness instrument with a cutoff value of not lessthan 0.75 mm. Other sudace roughness devices(for example, a visual comparator) are acceptablefor determining orifice plate surface roughness, ifthe same repeatability and reproducibility as thoseof the electronic-averaging-type surface roughnessinstrument can be demonstrated.
Due care shall be exercised to keep the plate cleanand free from accumulation of dirt, ice, grit, grease,oil, free liquid and other extraneous materials, tothe extent feasible, by instituting a regularinspection schedule (daily, weekly, monthly,quarterly, etc, depending on the serviceconditions). Damage and/or accumulation ofextraneous materials on the orifice plate may resultin a greater uncertainty for the orifice platecoefficient of discharge [Cd (/7)]. After anyinspection of the plate, it shall be thoroughlycleaned (free from accumulations as statedabove) prior to being placed back in service.
5.5 Roughness Average (RJ
The roughness average (l?J used in this standardis the arithmetic average of the absolute values ofthe measured profile height deviation taken within
the sampling length and measured from thegraphical centreline of the surface profile.
5.6 Thickness E and e
The thickness e of the orifice shall be between0.905D and 0.02D.
5.6.1 The difference between the values ofe measured at any point on the orifice shall not begreater than 0.001 D.
The thickness E of the plate shall be between eand 0.05D.
However, when 50 mm < D <64 mm, a thicknessE up to 3.2 mm is acceptable.
[f D 2200 mm, the difference between the valuesof E measured at any.point of the plate shall not begreater than 0.001 D. If D c 200 mm, the differencebetween the values of E measured at any point ofthe plate shall not be greater than 0.2 mm.
5.6.2 The inside surface of the orifice plate boreshall be in the form of a constant-diameter cylinderhaving no defects, such as grooves, ridges, pits,or lumps, visible to the naked eyes. The length ofthe cylinder is the orifice plate bore thickness (e).
The minimum allowable orifice plate borethickness (e) is defined by e 20.01 d,or e >0.125,whichever is larger.
The maximum allowable value of the orifice platebore thickness (e) is defined by e < 0.02D, ore s 0.125d, whichever is smaller, but e shall notbe greater than the maximum allowable orificeplate thickness (E).

NOTES
1 Maximum allowable differential pressure is limited to 1000 min of water column which is the limit of the coefficient ofdischarge database.
2 Maximum allowable differential pressure is calculated for worst-case diameter ratio (typically P = 0.55-0.65).
‘3 The maximum differential pressure applies to stainless steel plates at a maximum temperature of 65”C, and for therecommended plate thickness.
4 For single-or dual-chamber fittings, the orifice plate seal ring was assumed to deflect under symmetric conditionswithout plastic deformation. As such, the effect on the seal ring was not investigated.
5 Especially at very high differential pressures, the user should carefully consider the associated thermodynamic effects,such as temperature change resulting from the Joule-Thompson effect as the stream passes through the orifice, and thelimits on AI?LPf, in particular, at low pressures. The sudden reduction of pressure will result in temperature and densitychanges.

5.6.5 The use of an orifice plate thickness otherthan the recommended thickness is acceptable ineither new or existing orifice plate holding devicesas long as the thickness is within the maximumand minimum range shown in Table 1; and theorifice plate eccentricity, bore thickness, differentialpressure tap hole, and expansion-factor (see Table 2)pressure-ratio tolerances and limits are satisfied.

NOTE — Temperature conditions other than those stated inrefer to the American Society for Metals, Matals Handbook.
5.6.6 For incompressible fluids, the maximumdifferential pressure across the plate is limited bythe structural integrity of the fitting design. Themaximum differential pressure shall be limited tothose shown in Table 1. If the maximum differentialpressure is to exceed the limits specified, themanufacturer shall be consulted for allowablemaximum pressure for the fitting design. Inaddition, theflowimg conditions downstream of theorifice plate must remain above the local vapourpressure of the flowing fluid.
5.6.7 Orifice fitting manufacturers shall beconsulted to determine the maximum allowabledifferential pressure during the changing of orificeplates under flowing conditions. The high forcesassociated with using high differential pressures maymake it difficult to remove the plate, and may possibleresult in damage to the orifice plate or fitting.
5.6.8 The use of high differential pressures(AP/APf >18 mm of water-column where the AP)
is in cm of water at 50°C and P~is, in mm of water-column will result in expansion factor uncertaintiesin excess of 0.1 percent.
5.6.9 Operators shall be aware, for a given orificeplate size, that when there is a wide swing fromhigh to low flows, significant measurement errorswill occur during the low-flow period if the orificeplate remains unchanged. Generally, operationbetween 10 percent to-90 percent of the calibrated
differential span is considered good practice.Rangeability can also be increased using today’sdigital (electronic) transmitters. The effects on theaccuracy of transducers and/or transmitters usedfor wide range shall be evaluated versus savingson installation cost.
5.6.~0 For the full range of orifice plate thickness,the maximum allowable orifice plate diffe~emtialpressure can be obtained.
Higher differential pressures will result in highermeter-run gas velocities and higher permanentpressure losses. It is recommended that the gasvelocities be evaluated on an individual installationbasis for such things as noise, erosion, and thermowell vibration. The”meter run velocity is dependenton several different factors, and each individualuser will have different practices and limits onvelocity.
5.6.11 When the orifice plate thickness (E) exceedsthe orifice bore thickness (e), a bevel is required onthe downstream side of the orifice bore.
NOTE — Existing orifice plates, whossedge thickness meetsthe value defined by e c 0.033D~, need not to be rebeveledunless-reconditioning is required for other reasons.
For ease in machining, the next smaller values ofe ace 0.8 mm may be used.
5.6.12 Orifice plate bored that demonstrate anyconvergence from inlet to outlet are unacceptable.Bi-directional flow through an orifice plate with borethickness (e) that exceeds the limits specified inthis table is outside of the scope of this standard.
5.7 Angle of Bevel, a (see Fig. 1)
If the thickness Eof the plate exceeds the thicknesse of the orifice, the plate shall be beveled on thedownstream side. The beveled surface.shall be wellfinished. The angle of bevel a shall be 45° * 15°.
5.8 Orifice Plate Bore Diameter (d, d~, d,)
The calculated orifice pIate bore diameter (d) isthe internal diameter of the orifice plate measuringaperture (bore) computed at flowing temperature(TJ. The calculated orifice plate bore diameter (d)is used in the flow equation for the determ”inationof flow rate. The diameter (d) shall in all cases begreater than or equal to 12.5 mm. The diameterratio, d/D shall be always greater than or equalto 0.10 and less than equal to 0.75.
The measured orifice plate bore diameter (dJ isthe measured internal diameter of the orifice platemeasuring aperture at the temperature of theorifice plate (TJ at the time of bore diametermeasurements.

The reference orifice plate bore diameter (d,) isthe internal diameter of the orifice plate measuringaperture at reference temperature (T,), calculatedthe reference orifice plate bore diameter is thecertified or stamped orifice plate bore diameter.
The measured orifice bore diameter (dJ is definedas the mean (arithmetic average) of four or moreevenly spaced diameter measurements of the inletedge. None of the four or more diametermeasurements may vary from the mean value bymore than the tolerances given in Table 3.

The minimum, maximum, and recommended valuesof orifice plate thickness (f) for types 304 and 316stainless steel orifice plates are given in Table 1.
Maximum allowable differential pressures for therecommended orifice plate thickness given inTable 1 are for operating temperatures notexceeding 65°C, the orifice plate and/or holdingdevice manufacturer shall be contacted for specificinformation on deflection for a given diameter ratio,temperature, orifice plate material. Orifice plateholder, and differential pressure.
The use of an orifice plate thickness other thanthe recommended thickness is acceptable in eithernew or existing orifice plate holding devices as longas the thickness is within the maximum andminimum range shown in Table 1; and the orificeplate eccentricity, bore thickness, differentialpressure tap hole, and expansion-factor pressure-ratio tolerances and limits are satisfied.
For incompressible fluids, the maximum differentialpressure across the plate is limited by the structuralintegrity of the fitting design. The maximumdifferential pressure shall be limited to those shownin Table 1. if the maximum differential pressure is to
IS 15675:2006
exceed the limits specified, the manufacturer shallbe consulted for allowable maximum pressure forthe fitting design. In addition, the flowing conditionsdownstream of the orifice plate must remain abovethe local vapour pressure of the flowing fluid.
Orifice fitting manufacturers shall be consulted todetermine the maximum allowable differentialpressure during the changing of orifice plates underflowing conditions. The high forces associated withusing high differential pressures may make it difficultto remove the plate, and may possible -result indamage to the orifice plate or fitting.
The use of high differential pressures (AFYAPf>1-8 mmof water-column, where the AP is in mm of waterat 20”C and P! k in kg/m) will result in expansionfactor uncertainties in excess of 0.1 percent.
Operators shall be aware, for a given orifice platesize, that when there is a wide swing from high tolow flows, significant measurement errors willoccur during the low-flow period if the orifice plateremains unchanged. Generally, operation between10 percent to 90 percent of the calibrateddifferential span is considered good practice.Rangeability can also be increased using today’sdigital (electronic) transmitters. The effects on theaccuracy of transducers and/or transmitters us@forwide Tange shall be evaluated versus savingson installation cost.
For the full range of orifice plate thickness, themaximum allowable orifice plate differentialpressure can be applicable.
It is recommended that the gas velocities beevaluated on an individual installation basis”for suchthings as noise, erosion, and thermowell vibration.The meter-run velocity is dependent on severaldifferent factors, and each individual user will havedifferent practices and limits on velocity. Therefore,the allowable maximum differential pressures, do notconsider meter-run gas velocity. Higher differentialpressures will result in higher meter-run gas velocitiesand higher permanent pressure losses.
5.9 Orifice Plate Bore Edge
The upstream edge of the orifice plate bore shallbe square and sharp. The orifice plate bore edgeis considered too dull tor accurate flowmeasurement if the upstream edge reflects a beamof light when viewed without magnification or if theupstream edge shows a beam of light whenchecked with .an orifice edge gauge.
5.10 Orifice Plate Holder
The orifice plate holder is defined as a pressurecontaining piping element, such as a set of orifice
7
IS 15675:2006
flanges or an orifice fitting, used to contain andposition the orifice plate in the piping system.
6 METER TUBE
The meter tube is defined as the straight sectionof pipe, including all segments that are integral tothe orifice plate holder, upstream and downstreamof the orifice plate.

8.2 Flange Taps
Flange taps are a pair of tap holes positioned as
follows:
a)
b)
c)
Upstream tap centre is located 25.4 mmupstream of the nearest plate face;
Downstream tap centre is located 25.4 mmdownstream of the nearest plate face; and
Upstream and downstream taps must bein the same radial position.
8.3 Differential Pressure (AP, APa,g, APrm~,APt)
The differential pressure (AP) is the static pressuredifference measured between the upstream andthe downstream flange taps.
The average differential pressure (APJ is a timemean of the static pressure difference measuredbetween the upstream and the downstream flangetaps.
The instantaneous differential pressure (APJ is asingle measurement of APat any instance in time.
The roor mean square differential pressure(AP,Jis the square root of the sum of squares of the
difference between the instantaneous differentialpressure (APJ and the time mean differential (APavg).
8.4 Permanent Pressure Drop
The permanent pressure drop is significantbecause the energy has been lost to transport thefluid through the pipeline. Approximate values ofthe permanent pressure loss AP versus ~ ratio forthe concentric, square-edged, flange tapped orficemeter are given below:
P Losses as a percent of AP

If the user chooses to use a ~ of 0.30 at APof 10000 mm of water column then the permanentpressure loss would be approximately 90 percentof 10000 mm of water column which is about9000 mm of water column (about 90 kPa).
If the user chooses to use a ~ of 0.50 at AP of2500 mm of water column, then the permanentpressure loss would be approximately 75 percentof 2500 mm of water column, which is about1875 mm of water column (about 90 kPa).

8.5 Temperature Measurement (~, T~, T,)
The temperature ( TJ is the flowing fluid temperaturemeasured at the designated location.
In flow measurement, the temperature sensingdevice is inserted in the flowing stream to obtainthe flowing temperature. However, if the fluid velocityis higher than 25 percent of the fluid sound-speedat the point of measurement, corrections for theincrease in temperature due to dynamic effects willhave to be applied. Care shall be taken to ensurethat the temperature sensing elements are coupledto the flowing stream and not to the steel in the metaltube. This practice is recommended for all orificemeter installations. The sensed temperature isassumed to be static temperature of the flowing fluid.
The temperature (7J is the measured temperatureof the orifice plate and/or the meter tube at thetime of the diameter measurements.
The temperature (TJ is the reference temperatureused to determine the reference orifice plate borediameter (d) and/or the reference internal meter tubediameter (DJ

General installation requirements for pressuredifferential devices are given in this standard andshall be followed in conjunction with the additionalspecific requirements for orifice plates. The generalrequirements for flow conditions at the primarydevice are also given in this standard. Therequirements for use of a flow conditioner are alsomentioned. A flow conditioner will permit the useof a shorter upstream pipe length; moreover, a flowconditioner shall be installed upstream of the orificeplate where sufficient straight length to achievethe desired level of uncertainty is not available.Downstream of a header the use of a flowconditioner is strongly recommended.
11.2 Minimum Upstream and DownstreamStraight Lengths for Installation BetweenVarious Fittings and the Orifice Plate
11.2.1 The minimum straight lengths of piperequired upstream and downstream of the orificeplate for the specified fittings in the installationwithout flow conditioners are given in Table 6.
11.2.2When a flow conditioner is not used, thelengths specified in Table 6 shall be regarded asthe minimum values. For research and calibrationwork in particular, =it is recommended that theupstream values specified in Table 6 be increasedby at least a factor of 2 to minimize the measurementuncertainty.
11.2.3 When the straight lengths used are equal
to or longer than the values specified in columnsA of Table 6 for ‘zero additional uncertainty’, it isnot necessary -to increase the uncertainty indischarge coefficient to take account of the effectof the particular installation.
11.2.4 When the upstream or downstream straightlength is shorter than the value corresponding to‘zero additional uncertainty’ shown in columns Aand either equal to or greater than the 0.5 percentadditional uncertainty value shown in columns B ofTable 6 for a given fitting, an additional uncertaintyof 0.5 percent shall be added arithmetically to theuncertainty in the discharge coefficient.
11.2.5This part of the standard cannot be usedto predict the value of any additional uncertaintywhen either:
a) straight lengths shorter than the0.5 percent additional uncertainty valuesspecified in columns B of Table 6 are used;or
b) “both the upstream and downstreamstraight lengths are shorter than the ‘zeroadditional uncertainty’ values specified incolumns A of Table 6.
11.2.6The value shown in Table 6 shall be set fullyopen during the flow measurement process. It isrecommended that control of the flow rate beachieved by valves located downstream of theorifice plate. Isolating valves located upstream ofthe orifice plate shall be set fully open, and thesevalves shall be full bore. The valve shall be fitted

position. The valve shown in Table 6 is one which isof the same nominal diameter as the upstream pipe.
11.2.7 In the metering system, upstream valveswhich are match bored to the adjacent pipe workand are designed in such a manner that can beregarded as part of the metering pipe work lengthand do not need to have added lengths as in
Table 6 provided that when flow is being measuredthey are fully open.
11.2.8 The values given in Table 6 weredetermined experimentally with a very longstraight length of pipe upstream of the fitting inquestion so that the flow immediately upstreamof the fitting was considered as fully developedand swirl-free. Since in practice such conditionsare difficult to achieve, the following informationmay be used as a guide for normal installationpractice.
a) Several fittings of the type covered byTable 6, treating the combinations of 90°bends already covered by these tables asa single fitting, are placed in seriesupstream of the orifice plate (see Fig. 8).
b) In addition to the rule in (a) any fitting,treating any two consecutive 90° bends asa single fitting, shall be located at a distancefrom the orifice plate at least as great asthe distance given by the product of thepipe diameter at the orifice and the numberof diameters required between that fittingand an orifice plate of the same diameterratio in Table 6, regardless of the numberof fittings between that fitting and the orificeplate. The distance between the orificeplate and the fitting shall be measuredalong the pipe axis. If, for any upstream
1 2

d)

fitting, the distance meets this requirementusing the number of diameters incolumns B but not that in columns A thena 0.5 percent additional uncertainty shallbe added arithmetically to the dischargecoefficient uncertainty, but this additionaluncertainty shall not be added more thanonce under the -provisions of (a) and (b).
It is strongly recommended that a flowconditioner shall be installed downstreamof a metering system header (for example,one whose cross-section area isapproximately equal to 1.5 times thecross-sectional area of the operating flowmeter tubes) since there will always bedistortion of the flow profile and a highprobability -of swirl.
When the second (or more distant) fittingfrom the orifice is a combination of bends,then in applying Table 6 the separationbetween the bends is calculated as amultiple of the diameter of the bendsthemselves.
11.2.9 By way of example, three cases of theapplication of 11.2.8(a) and (b) are considered. Ineach case, 1 second fitting from the orifice plate istwo bends in perpendicular planes (the separationbetween the berrds is 10 times the diameter of thebends) and the orifice plate has diameter ratio 0.4.
If the first fitting is a full bore ball valve fully open[see Fig. 9 (a)], the distance between the valveand the orifice plate shall be at least 12D (fromTable 5) and that between the two bendsperpendicular planes and the valve shall beat least22D [from 11.2.8(a)]; the distance between thetwo trends in perpendicular planes and the orificeplate shall beat least 44D [from 11.2.8(b)].

If the first fitting is a reducer from 2D to D over alength of 2D[see Fig. 9 (c)], the distance betweenthe reducer and the orifice plate shall be at least5D (from Table 6) and that between the two bendsin perpendicular planes and the reducer shall beat least 22 x 2D [from 11.2.8 (a)]; the distancebetween the bends in perpendicular planes andthe orifice plate shall be at least 44D. So noadditional length is required because of 11.2.8(b).
If the first fitting is an expander from 0.5D to Dover a length of 2D [see Fig. 9(d)], the distancebetween the expander and the orifice plate shallbe at least 12D (from Table 5) and that betweenthe bends in perpendicular planes and theexpander shall beat least 22x 0.5D [from 6.2.8 (a)];the distance between the two bends in perpendicularplanes and the orifice plate shall beat least 44D
[from 11.2.8 (b)]. So an additional total length of19D is required which may be either upstream ordownstream of the expanded partly upstream andpartly downstream of it.
12 FLOW CONDITIONERS
12.1 General
A flow conditioner can be used to reduce upstreamstraight lengths either through meeting thecompliance test given in this standard, in whichcase it can be used downstream of any upstreamfitting, or through meeting the requirements of thisstandard, which gives additional possibilitiesoutside compliance testing. In either case the testwork shall be carried out using orifice plates.

Annex B describes some patentedflow conditioners which have met the compliancetest. Clause 12.2 and 12.6 give the situations inwhich the 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998)and the Zanker flow conditioner plate can be usedupstream of orifice plates. Clause 12.4 and 12.6.2describe the situations in which the 19-tube bundleflow straightener (1 998) and the Zanker flowconditioner plate can be used downstream of anyfitting.

After being inserted in thepipe, the -tube bundle shall be securely fastenedin place. Secure fastening, however, should notdistort the tube bundle assembly with respect tosymmetry within the pipe.
12.3.2 Pressure Loss
The pressure loss coefficient, K, for the 19-tubebundle flow straightener (1998) is approximatelyequal to 0.75, where K is given by the folIowingequation:
where
APC = pressure loss across the 19-tube bundleflow straightener (1998);
P = density of the fluid in the pipe; and
v = mean axial velocity of the fluid in thepipe.
12.4 lns-tallation Downstream of Any Fitting
12.4.1 The 19-tube bundle flow straightener(1 998) shown in Fig. 10 can be used downstreamof any upstream fitting with an orifice plate whosediameter ratio is 0.67 or smaller provided that itmeets the manufacturing specification and isinstalled in accordance with specific clause.
12.4.2 The 19-tube bundle flow straightener(1 998) shall be installed so that the distancebetween the downstream end of the 19-tubebundle flow straightener (1 998) and the orificeplate is equal to 13D * 0,25D.
12.5 Additional Options
12.5.1 A 19-tube bundle flow .straightener (1 998)may also be used to reduce the required upstreamstraight length in situations outside the situationas described in respective clause. The 19-tubebundle flow straightener (1998) shall be asdescribed in specific clause.
The permitted locations for the 19-tube bundle flowstraightener (1998) depend on <, the distance fromthe orifice plate to the nearest upstream fitting,measured to the downstream end of the curvedportion of the nearest (or only) bend or of the teeor the downstream end of the curved or conicalportion of the reducer or expander.
Table 7 provides the permitted location range and
the-recommended location for the 19-tube bundleflow straightener (1998) for two ranges of ~:
a) 30D > ~ 2 18D, and
b) ~ 230D.
~ shall be greater than or equal to 18D.The locationsfor the 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998) aredescribed in Table 7 in terms of the straight lengthsbetween the downstream end of the 19-tube bundleflow straightener (1998) and the orifice plate.
If, for a particular upstream fitting, an orifice platediameter ratio and a value of ~, there is no locationshown in Table 7 for a 19-tube bundle flowstraightener (1998), then an installation with thisfitting, ~ and ~, is not recommended. In this case,an increase in ~ and/or a reduction in ~ is necessaty.
The length required downstream of the orifice plateshall be as given m Table 6.
An example of the use of Table 7 is given in therespective clause.
12.5.2 When the straight length between orifice plateand 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998) is inaccordance with the values specified in columns Aof Table 6 and the downstream straight length inaccordance with columns A of Table 7 for ‘zeroadditional uncertainty’, it is not necessary to increasethe uncertainty in discharge coefficient to takeaccount of the effect of the particular installation.
12.5.3 An additional uncertainty of 0.5 percentshall be added arithmetically to the uncertainty inthe discharge coefficient when either:
a) the straight length between orifice plate and19-tube bundle flow straightener (1 998)is not in accordance with the valuecorresponding to ‘zero additionaluncertainty’ shown in columns A but inaccordance with the value corresponding“to ‘0.5 percent additional uncertainty’ shownin columns B of Table 7; or
b) the downstream straight length is shorter thanthe value corresponding to ‘zero additionaluncertainty’ shown in columns A but eitherequal to or greater than the ‘0.5 percentadditional uncertainty’ value shown incoiumns B of Table 6 for a given f itting.
12.5.4 This standard shall not be used to predictthe value-of any additional uncertainty when:
a) the straight length -between orifice plateand 19-tube bundle flow straightener(4998) is not in accordance with the valuecorresponding to 0.5 percent additionaluncertainty shown in columns B of Table 7;or

12.5.5 The values given in Table 7 have beendetermined experimentally with a very long straightlength mounted upstream of the fitting in questionso that the flow immediately upstream of the fittingwas considered as fully developed and swirl-free.Since in practice such conditions are difficult toachieve, there shall be al least 15D of straight pipebetween the fitting listed in Table 7 and the nearestfitting beyond that one, unless the columns relatingto any fitting are used (see example).
Example:
If it is necessary to install a single bend upstreamof an orifice plate of diameter ratio 0.6, there aretwo options using a 19-tube bundle flowstraightener (1998) which will reduce the upstreamlength in comparison with the 42D required (seeTable 6) if no flow conditioner is used. Either aninstallation as in 12.4 is permissible [see Fig. 9 (a)]which has the advantage that any fitting can be

If theupstream straight length from the orifice plate tothe bend is greater than or equal to 30D, Table 7can also be used to provide wider range of tubebundle locations but since these locations willrarely be required in designing installations theseoptions are not shown in Fig. 11.
12.6 Zanker Flow Conditioner Plate
12.6.1 Description
The Zanker flow conditioner plate described hereis a development of the Zanker conditioner. TheZanker flow conditioner plate has the samedistribution of holes in a plate but does not havethe egg-box honeycomb attached to the plate;instead the plate thickness has been increased toD/8.

The tolerance on the diameter of each hole is:*0.1 mm for D< 100 mm.
The perforated plate thickness, ?; is such thatOJ.2DstCs0.15D.The flange thkkness dependson the application; the outer diameter and flangeface surfaces depend on the flange type andapplication.
The pressure loss coefficient, K, for the Zankerflow conditioner plate is approximately equal to 3,where K is given by the following equation:
. .+PV2
where
APC = pressure loss across the Zanker flowconditioner plate;
P = density of the fluid in the pipe; and
v = mean axial velocity of the fluid in thepipe.
12.6.3 Installation
L~,the distance between the orifice plate and thenearest upstream fitting, shall beat least equal to17D. The Zanker flow conditioner pIate shall beinstalled so that L~, the distance between thedownstream face of the conditioner plate and theorifice plate, is such that:
7.5Ds L, s L, – 8.5D
The Zanker flow conditioner plate can be usedfor ~ S 0.67.
The distance to a bend (or bend combination) ora tee is measured to the downstream end of thecurved portion of the nearest (or only) bend or ofthe tee. The distance to a reducer or expander ismeasured to the downstream end of the curvedor conical portion of the reducer or the expander.
The locations in this subclause are acceptabledownstream of any fitting. A wider range oflocations for the Zanker flow conditioner plate ispermissible if the range of upstream fittings isrestricted or the overall length between theupstream fitting and the orifice plate is rncreasedor the diameter ratio of the orifice plate is reduced.These locations are not described here.
12.7 Circularity and Cylindricality of the Pipe
12.7.1 The 2D length of the upstream pipe sectionadjacent to the orifice plate (or to the carrier ring ifthere is one) shall be manufactured with specialcare and shall meet the requirement that nodiameter in any plane in this length shall differ by
23
IS 15675:2006
more than 0.3 percent from the mean value of Dobtained from the measurements. The value forthe pipe diameter D shall be the mean of theinternal diameters over a length of 0.5D upstreamof the upstream pressure tapping. The internalmean diameter shall be the arithmetic mean ofmeasurements of at least twelve diameters,namely, four diameters positioned at approximatelyequal angles, to each other, distributed in each ofat least th~e cross-sections evenly distributed overa length of 0.5D, two of the sections being atdistance OD and 0.5D from the upstream tappingand one being in ‘the plane of the weld in the caseof a weld-neck construction. If there is a carrier ring(see Fig. 6), this value of 0:5Dshall be tTWaSUFed
from the upstream edge .of the carrier ring.
Beyond 2D from the orifice plate, the upstreampipe run between the orifice plate and the firstupstream fitting or disturbance may be made upof one or more sections of pipe.
12.7.2 Between 2Dand 10Dfrom the orifice plate,no additional uncertainty in the dischargecoefficient is involved provided that the diameterstep (the difference between the diameters)between any two sections does not exceed0.3 percent of the mean value of D obtained fromthe measurements. Moreover, the actual stepcaused by misalignment and/or change in diametershall not exceed 0.3 percent of D at any point ofthe internal circumference of the-pipe. Therefore,mating flanges would require the bores to bematched and the flanges aligned on installation.Dowels or self-centring gaskets may be used.
12.7.3 Beyond 10D from the orifice plate, rmadditional uncertainty in the discharge coefficientis involved provided that the diameter step (thedifference between the diameters) between any twosections does not exceed 2 percent of the meanvalue of D obtained from the measurements.Moreover, the actual step caused by misalignmentand/or change in diameter shall not exceed.2 percent of D at any point of the internalcircumference of the pipe. If-the pipe diameterupstream of the step is greater than that downstreamof it, the permitted diameter and actual steps areincreased from 2 percent to 6 percent of D. On eachside of the step, the pipe shall have a diameterbetween 0.98 D.and 1.06D. Beyond 10D from theorifice plate, the use of gaskets between sectionswill not violate this requirement provided that in usethey are no thicker than 3.2 mm and they do notprotrude into the flow.
12.7.4At a location which is both beyond 10Dfromthe orifice plate and beyond the first location where
an expander could be fitted in accordance withColumn 10A of Table 6, no additional uncertaintyin the discharge coefficient is involved providedthat the diameter step (the difference between thediameters) between any two sections does notexceed 6 percent of the mean value of D obtainedfrom the measurements specified in 6.4.2.Moreover, the actual step caused by misalignmentand/or than-ge in diameter shall not exce,ed6 percent of D at any point of the intwnalcircumference of the pipe. On each side of the step,the pipe shall have a diameter between 0.94Dand 1.06D. The first location where an expandercould be fitted in accordance with Column 10A ofTable 6 depends on the diameter ratio of the orificeplate, for example, it is 26D from the orifice plateif ~ = 0.6.
12.7.5 An additional uncertainty of 0.2 percentshall be added arithmetically to the uncertainty forthe discharge coefficient if the diameter step (MJ)between any two sections exceeds the limits givenin 12.7but complies with the following relationship:
AD
[)
; + 0.4— <0.002D 0.1 + 2.3/34
and
:<0.05
where
s is the distance of the step from the upstreampressure tapping or, if a carrier ring is used, fromthe upstream edge of the recess formed by thecarrier ring.
If a step is greater than any one of the limits givenin the inequalities above or if there is more thanone step outside the limits in the specified clause,the installation is not in accordance with thisstandard.
No diameter of the dowrrstream straight length,considered along a length of at least 2D from theupstream face of the orifice plate, shall differ fromthe mean diameterof the upstream straight lengthby more than 3 percent. This can be judged bychecking a single diameter of the downstreamstraight length. Mating flanges would require thebores to be matched and the flanges aligned oninstallation. Dowels or self -centring gaskets couldbe used.
12.8 Location of Orifice Plate and CarrierRings

IS 15675:2006
in such a way that the fluid flows from the upstreamface towards the downstream face.
12.8.2 The orifice plate shall be perpendicular tothe centreline of the pipe to within 10.
12.8.3 The orifice plate shall be centred in the pipe.The distance between the centreline of the orificeand the centrelines of the pipe on the upstreaman-d downstream sides shall be measured, and foreach pressure tapping the components of thedistance between the centreline of the orifice andthe centreline of the pipe in which it is located inthe directions parallel to and perpendicular to theaxis of the pressure tapping shall be determined.
The component in the direction parallel to thepressure tapping eCl, shall for each pressuretapping be such that
e ~ 0.0025D
d 0.1 +2.3~4
e,n, the component in the direction perpendicularto the pressure tapping, shall for each pressuretapping be such Ihat
e ~ 0.005D

Ifj for one or more pressure tappings,
0.002 5D 0.005D< ecl ~
0.1 + 2.3~4 0.1 + 2.3/34
An additional uncertainty of 0.3 percent shall beadded arithmetically to the uncertainty on thedischarge coefficient C. The additional uncertaintyshall only be added once even if the aboveinequality holds for several pressure tappings.
In the case where, for any pressure tapping,
0.005D
‘ither ‘CI ‘r ‘cn >0.1 + 2.3/?4
This standard gives no information for forecastingany additional uncertainty due to lack ofconcentricity.
When carrier rings are used, they shall be centred
such that they do not protrude into the pipe at anypoint.
12.9 Method of Fixing and Gaskets
The method of fixing and tightening shall be suchthat once the orifice plate has been installed inthe proper position, it remains so.
It is necessary, when holding the orifice platebetween flanges, to allow for its free thermalexpansion and to avoid buckling and distortion.
Gaskets or sealing rings shall be made andinserted in such away that they do not protrude atany point inside the pipe or across the pressuretappings or slots when corner tappings are used.They shall be as thin as possible, with dueconsideration taken in maintaining the relationshipas defined in 9.
If gaskets are used between the orifice plate andthe annular chamber rings, they shall nat protrudeinside the annular chamber.
13 MARKING
13.1 The meter shall be marked with at least thefollowing information:
a) Manufacturer’s name or trade-mark;
b) Serial number;
c) Maximum flow rate, q~aXin actual volumeunits;
d) Maximum allowable operating pressure;and
e) Minimum flow rate, q~~Xat 1.2 kg/m3 fluiddensity.
13.2 BIS Certification Marking
The product may also be marked with the StandardMark.
13.2.1 The use of the Standard Mark is governedby the provisions of the Bureau of/ndian StandardsAct, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations madethereunder.

FLOW CONDITIONERS
B-1 GENERAL
This Annex describes some patented flowconditioners which can be used upstream of orificeplates and the requirements for straight lengthsassociated with them. It describes the Gallagherflow conditioner and NOVA’s design of K-Labperforated plate flow conditioner. It gives thesituations in which the flow conditioners havepassed the compliance test and can be useddownstream of any upstream fitting. It is notintended that the inclusion of the flow conditionersdescribed here should limit the use of other flow
conditioner designs which have been tested andproved to provide sufficiently small shifts indischarge coefficient. These flow conditioners,available commercially, are given as examples ofdevices which have passed the compliance test.This information is given for the convenience ofusers and does not constitute an endorsement bythe standard of this product.
B-2 GALLAGHER FLOW CONDITIONER —COMPLIANCE TESTING
B-2.1 The Gallagher flow conditioner shown
37
IS 1-5675:2006
in Fig. 13 meets the compliance test given in thisstandard and can be used downstream of anyfitting provided that it meets the requiredmanufacturing specification (which shall beobtained from the patent holder) and is installedin accordance with B-2.3.
B-2.2 The Gallagher flow conditioner is coveredby an existing patent. It consists of an anti-swirldevice, a settling chamber and lastly a profiledevice as shown in Fig. 14).
The pressure loss coefficient, K, for the Gallagherflow conditioner depends on the manufacturingspecification of the conditioner; it is approximatelyequal to 2, where K is given by the followingequation:
K=%; pvz
where APC is the pressure loss across theGallagher flow conditioner and vis the mean axialvelocity of thefluid in the pipe.
B-2.3 ~, the distance between the orifice plateand the nearest upstream fitting, is at least equalto 17D.The Gallagher flow conditioner is installedso that ~, the distance between the downstreamend of the Gallagher flow conditioner and the orificeplate, is such that
5D5L, <4-8D
In this location, the Gallagher flow conditioner canbe used for p <0.67.
If 0.67s ~s 0.75, the location of the Gallagher flowconditioner is more restricted, and ~ is equal to
7D*D
In this location, the Gallagher flow conditioner hassatisfied in 7.4.1.7 of ISO 5167-1 for p = 0.75.
The distance to a bend (or bend combination) ora tee is measured to the downstream end of thecurved portion of the nearest (or only) bend or ofthe tee. The distance to a reducer or expander ismeasured to the downstream end of the curvedor conical portion of the reducer or expander.
The locations given in this clause are acceptabledownstream of any fitting. A wider range oflocations for the Gallagher flow conditioner ispermissible if the range of upstream fittings isrestricted or the overall length between theupstream fitting and the orifice plate is increasedor the diameter ratio of the orifice plate is reduced.These locations are not described here.
B-3 NCWA’S DESIGN OF K-LAB PERFORATEDPLATE FLOW CONDfTIONER — COMPLIANCETESTING
B-3.1 NOVA!S design of K-Lab pedorated plateflow conditioner, known as the K-Lab NOVA flowconditioner, shown in Fig. 15 meets the compliancetest of this standard and can be used downstreamof any fitting provided that it meets themanufacturing specification in.B-3.2 and B-3.3 andis installed in accordance with B-3.4.
B-3.2 The.K-Lab NOVA f low conditioner consistsof a plate with 25 bored holes arranged in asymmetrical circular pattern as shown in Fig. 15.The dimensions of the holes area function of thepipe inside diameter, D, and depend on the pipeReynolds number. The hole locations forl?e~2105are given in B-3.3.
