Hydrometry. Guidelines for the application of acoustic velocity meters using the Doppler and echo correlation methods. | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This International Standard provides guidelines on the principles of operation and the selection and use of Doppler-based and echo correlation velocity meters for continuous-flow gauging. This International Standard is applicable to channel flow determination in open channels and partially filled pipes using one or more meters located at fixed points in the cross-section.

NOTE A limitation of the techniques is that measurement is made of the velocity of particles, other reflectors or disturbances.
