3.1 Definitions specific to this vortex flowmeter standard
3.1.1
K-factor
ratio of the meter output in number of pulses to the corresponding total volume of fluid passing through the meter during a measured period
Note: The variations in the K-factor can be presented as a function of either the pipe Reynolds number or flowrate at a specific set of thermodynamic conditions. The mean K-factor is commonly used and is defined by the following formula:
3.1.2
linearity
constancy of the K-factor (3.1.1) over a specified range defined either by the pipe Reynolds number or flowrate
Note 1: The upper and lower limits of the linear range are specified by the manufacturer.
Note 2: See Figure 1.
3.1.3
cavitation
phenomenon following flashing, in which the pressure recovers above the vapour pressure and the vapour bubble collapses (implodes)
Note: Cavitation can result in measurement error as well as mechanical damage to the meter.
3.1.4
flashing
formation of vapour bubbles
Note: Flashing occurs when the pressure falls below the vapour pressure of the liquid.
3.2 Definitions related to measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits
3.2.1
pressure loss
irrecoverable pressure loss caused by the presence of a primary device in the conduit
3.2.2
Strouhal number
dimensionless parameter relating the vortex shedding frequency, f, generated by a characteristic dimension, l, to the fluid velocity, v, given by the following formula:
3.3 Definitions related to the vocabulary used in metrology
3.3.1
systematic measurement error; systematic error of measurement;
systematic error
component of measurement error that, in replicate measurements, remains constant or varies in a predictable manner
Note 1: A reference quantity value for a systematic measurement error is a true quantity value, or a measured quantity value of a measurement standard of negligible measurement uncertainty, or a conventional quantity value.
Note 2: Systematic measurement error, and its causes, can be known or unknown. A correction can be applied to compensate for a known systematic measurement error.
Note 3: Systematic measurement error equals measurement error minus random measurement error.
3.3.2
measurement uncertainty; uncertainty of measurement
uncertainty
non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the quantity values being attributed to a measurand, based on the information used
Note 1: Measurement uncertainty includes components arising from systematic effects, such as components associated with corrections and the assigned quantity values of measurement standards, as well as the definitional uncertainty. Sometimes estimated systematic effects are not corrected for but, instead, associated measurement uncertainty components are incorporated.
Note 2: The parameter can be, for example, a standard deviation called standard measurement uncertainty (or a specified multiple of it), or the half-width of an interval, having a stated coverage probability.
Note 3: Measurement uncertainty comprises, in general, many components. Some of these can be evaluated by Type A evaluation of measurement uncertainty from the statistical distribution of the quantity values from a series of measurements and can be characterized by standard deviations. The other components, which can be evaluated by Type B evaluation of measurement uncertainty, can also be characterized by standard deviations, evaluated from probability density functions based on experience or other information.
Note 4: In general, for a given set of information, it is understood that the measurement uncertainty is associated with a stated quantity value attributed to the measurand. A modification of this value results in a modification of the associated uncertainty.
