INTRODUCTION

FE-ISO5167 is a program for MS Windows.
FE-ISO5167 calculates flowrate, differential pressure, diameter of pressure differential device (orifice plates, nozzles, Venturi nozzles, Venturi tubes and cone meters) and the diameter of a pipe in accordance with:

• International standard ISO 5167:
  Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits running full -
  Part1: General principles and requirements, Ref. number: ISO 5167-1:2003(E)
  Part2: Orifice plates, Ref. number: ISO 5167-2:2003(E)
  Part3: Nozzles and Venturi nozzles, Ref. number: ISO 5167-3:2003(E)
  Part4: Venturi tubes, Ref. number: ISO 5167-4:2003(E)
  Part5: Cone meters, Ref. number: ISO 5167-5:2016(E)

The FE-ISO5167 solves the following flow engineering tasks:

1. Flowrate calculation
2. Differential pressure calculation
3. Calculation of the diameter of metering device (orifice or throat or cone) at working conditions
4. Calculation of the upstream inner diameter of pipe at working conditions

The FE-ISO5167 covers the engineering equations for the following differential devices:

1. Orifice with flange tappings
2. Orifice with corner tappings
3. Orifice with D and D/2 tappings
4. Venturi tube with a machined inlet
5. Venturi tube with an 'as cast' inlet
6. Venturi tube with a rough-welded sheet-iron inlet
7. Long radius nozzle
8. ISA 1932 nozzle
9. Venturi nozzle (ISA inlet)
10. Cone meters

FE-ISO5167 reports the corresponding errors if input and/or output data are out of limits imposed by standards and helps to locate and correct the errors.

FE-ISO5167 enables the following input/output operations:

1. Save/Load project
2. Print project
3. Print project ASCII to file

Deafault project file extension is '.dde'
