ISO 5167-4: Venturi Tube Guidelines

ISO 5167-4:2003 specifies the geometry and use of Venturi tubes inserted into full pipes to determine flowrate. It provides information for calculating flowrate and applies to subsonic, single-phase fluid flow within specified pipe sizes, roughness, diameter ratios, and Reynolds numbers. ISO 5167-4:2003 does not cover measurement of pulsating flow or pipes less than 50mm or greater than 1200mm in diameter with Reynolds numbers below 20,000.

  • Venturi Tubes Specifications

ISO 5167-4:2003 specifies the geometry and method of use (installation and

operating conditions) of Venturi tubes when they are inserted in a conduit running full
to determine the flowrate of the fluid flowing in the conduit.

ISO 5167-4:2003 also provides background information for calculating the flow-rate
and is applicable in conjunction with the requirements given in ISO 5167-1.

ISO 5167-4:2003 is applicable only to Venturi tubes in which the flow remains
subsonic throughout the measuring section and where the fluid can be considered as
single-phase. In addition, each of these devices can only be used within specified
limits of pipe size, roughness, diameter ratio and Reynolds number. ISO 5167-4:2003
is not applicable to the measurement of pulsating flow. It does not cover the use of
Venturi tubes in pipes sized less than 50 mm or more than 1 200 mm, or for where
the pipe Reynolds numbers are below 20 000.

ISO 5167-4:2003 deals with the three types of classical Venturi tubes: cast,
machined and rough welded sheet-iron.

A Venturi tube is a device which consists of a convergent inlet connected to a


cylindrical throat which is in turn connected to a conical expanding section called the
"divergent". The differences between the values of the uncertainty of the discharge
coefficient for the three types of classical Venturi tube show, on the one hand, the
number of results available for each type of classical Venturi tube and, on the other
hand, the more or less precise definition of the geometric profile. The values are
based on data collected many years ago. Venturi nozzles (and other nozzles) are
dealt with in ISO 5167-3.
