The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical c
10、ommittees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with t
11、he International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft Internat
12、ional Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be

15、nal Standard specifies the procedure of calibration of current-meters of rotating-element type as well as stationary-sensor type (electromagnetic type) in straight open tanks. It also specifies the types of tank, rating carriage and equipment to be used and the method of presenting the results. The
16、procedure does not take into account any possible difference existing between the behaviour of a current- meter moving in motionless water and that of a fixed current-meter in turbulent flow. 2 Normative reference The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this docum
17、ent. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 772, Hydrometric determinations Vocabulary and symbols ISO 2537, Hydrometry Rotating-element current-meters 3 Terms and definitions
18、 For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 772 apply. 4 Principle of calibration Calibration of a current-meter means experimental determination of the relationship between liquid velocity and either the rate of revolution of the rotating element or the velocity direc
19、tly indicated by the current-meter. For this purpose, the current-meter is mounted on a towing carriage and drawn through still water contained in a straight tank of a uniform cross section at a number of steady speeds of the towing carriage. Simultaneous measurements of the speed of the towing carr
20、iage and the rate of revolution of the rotating element or the velocity indicated by the current-meter are made. In the case of rotating-element current-meters, the two parameters are related by one or more equations, the limits of validity of which are stated. In the case of stationary-sensor type
21、current-meters, the velocity indicated by its display unit is compared with the corresponding carriage speed to know the error in measurement. 5 Design criteria for calibration stations 5.1 Dimensions of rating (calibration) tank 5.1.1 General The dimensions of the tank and the number and relative p
22、osition of current-meters in the tank cross section shall be chosen so that the test results are not affected. BS ISO 3455:2007 Licensed Copy: London South Bank University, London South Bank University, Sun Jun 17 07:00:44 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 2 5.1.2 Length The length of a rat
23、ing tank can be considered as comprising accelerating, stabilizing, measuring and braking sections. The length of the accelerating and braking sections depends on the design of the carriage, the maximum acceleration and deceleration achievable at maximum payload and the maximum speed at which the pa
24、yload is to be towed along the tank. Safety requirements of the carriage need to be taken into account while working out the length of the braking section. The length of the measuring section shall be such that the calibration error, which is composed of inaccuracies in the measurement of time, dist
25、ance covered and rate of revolution, does not exceed the desired tolerance at any velocity. The required length will, therefore, depend on the type of current-meter being calibrated, type of carriage and the way the signals are produced and transmitted. For example, if measured times both for distan
26、ce covered by the carriage and for the revolutions counted are accurate to 0,01 s in order to limit the error in time measurement to 0,1 % at the 95 % confidence level, the duration of the test shall be at least 10 s at maximum speed. If the maximum speed is 6 m/s, the measuring section of the tank
27、would be 60 m long. The total length of the tank would be about 100 m of which about 20 m would be for acceleration and stabilizing and 20 m for braking. 5.1.3 Depth and width The depth of the tank can have an influence on the test results which cannot be regarded as negligible, more particularly wh
28、en the towing speed coincides with the velocity of propagation of the surface wave. The dependence of this critical velocity, vc, on tank depth is given by the Equation (1): c vgd= (1) where g is the acceleration due to gravity; d is the depth of water. The wave crest produced by the current-meter a
29、nd its means of suspension, which moves forward with the instrument, causes an increase in the height of the wetted cross section and thus, in accordance with the continuity equation, a reduction of the relative velocity. This phenomenon, known as the Epper effect, may cause an error in calibration
30、within a narrow band in the velocity range from 0,5 vc to 1,5 vc. The magnitude of the Epper effect depends on the size of the current-meter(s) and suspension equipment, relative to the cross- sectional area of the tank. It may be little more than the uncertainty of a single calibration point. It is
31、 a systematic and not a random error. It may be negligible when a very small current-meter is being calibrated. The depth of the tank shall therefore be chosen to suit the size and the maximum velocity limits of the current- meters to be calibrated. Care shall be taken to ensure that either the cali
32、bration velocities in higher range are attained before the interference or that they exceed it sufficiently for the critical zone to be bridged without extrapolation. The width of the tank is of importance because the Epper effect is more pronounced in a narrower tank. The width also limits the numb
33、er of instruments that can be calibrated simultaneously and has an effect on the stilling characteristics (time taken for the water to become reasonably still). For example, when a field type current-meter on rod suspension is being calibrated in a tank 1,83 m wide in which the depth of water is 1,8
34、3 m, the Epper effect is greater at a speed of about 4 m/s (9,81 1 ,83) and amounts to 0,3 %. The size of the effect dies away on either side of the critical velocity, but is detectable at velocities between 3 m/s and 5 m/s.

36、wn and accurate speeds in the measuring section. 5.2.2 Carriage track system The carriage may run on two parallel rails which must be accurately aligned with both the length of the tank and the surface of the water in the tank. It is essential that the rails are straight and that the rails and the w
37、heels of the carriage are free of irregularities, otherwise the carriage will move with irregular motion and cause vibration which may be transmitted to the current-meter(s) and disturb the rating. The material and hardness of the rails and the driving wheels should be chosen so that there shall not
38、 be undue wear and tear of the wheels. In the case of rubber tire wheels, provision shall be made to lift the wheels above the rail surface when not in use for a long time. Another track system may have toothed belts, mounted on both sides of the tank, driven by the guiding rollers and used for tran
39、sportation of the carriage. If this system is adopted, it shall be ensured that there is no slippage or sag of the belt and in case the slippage or sag occurs, it shall be possible to remove it manually. The belts shall be strong enough to withstand the load of the carriage they have to transport du
40、ring calibration and the climatic conditions prevailing at the rating laboratory. 5.2.3 Types of rating carriages The following types of rating carriages are in common usage. a) The towed carriage which is moved along the track by a cable driven from a constant speed motor standing apart from the mo
41、ving carriage. The towed carriage may be lighter in construction with the consequent advantage of high acceleration and quick braking, but the elasticity of the towing cable can cause irregularities in the running of the carriage thereby affecting the accuracy of current-meter calibration. b) The se
42、lf-propelled carriage which is moved along the track by internally mounted electric motor(s). The power to the carriage may be fed by a trailing wire track system or by an overhead conductor system or other systems specially designed for the purpose. The self-propelled carriage will be heavier in co
43、nstruction as it has to carry the driving motors. This results in greater inertia of the carriage and assists in smoothing out the running irregularities of the carriage. The weight of the rating carriage can substantially be reduced by using light but rugged material for its construction. The light
44、weight carriage can achieve a high rate of acceleration/deceleration resulting in relatively smaller length of tank. 5.2.4 Carriage operation The carriage shall travel smoothly and at constant speed in the measuring section of the rating tank ensuring that oscillatory motion is not transmitted to th
45、e current-meters under calibration. The carriage shall remain stable during acceleration, deceleration and braking. There shall not be any forward/backward or sideways rocking, or slippage during peak acceleration/deceleration and during normal operation at any speed in specified range. The carriage
46、 shall have smooth operational capability in both forward and reverse directions. An interlock shall be provided in the system to ensure that the direction of start up is correct.

48、 building and vicinity. Normal braking of the carriage shall be accomplished by dynamic braking through the drive system. In addition to normal braking, an alternate brake system shall also be provided on the carriage which would automatically activate during an emergency. 5.2.5 Carriage control The
49、 carriage may be manned or unmanned. In the case of a manned carriage, an operator on-board controls various functions of the carriage. The unmanned carriage is operated remotely without any operator on board. An on-board programmable controller unit controls various functions of the carriage, i.e., speed, acceleration, deceleration, braking, etc. The controller exchanges control signals with the supervisory computer, installed in a control room through suitable digital communication system. 5.3 Measuring
