Abstract

The present study outlines the efforts made to improve national primary water flow standards and calibration systems through design and development. The facility has been designed and developed in accordance with ISO 4185 standard in the flow range 0.03 m³/h to 650 m³/h to calibrate various types of flow meters up to DN200 (Nominal diameter) using 12 kg, 300 kg, 3000 kg, and 6000 kg weighing systems. In the flow range up to 530 m³/h, the expanded uncertainty in flow meter calibration in totalized mode is found to be ±0.01% to ±0.025% (k = 2), whereas it is ±(0.03–0.05) % (k = 2) up to DN200 size (test rigs) for mass flow rate (MFR) and volume flow rate (VFR) in the flow range 0.1 m³/h to 650 m³/h. The measurement uncertainty achieved is comparable to that of state-of-the-art water flow measurement capabilities available at numerous National Metrology Institutes (NMIs). Thus, the present designed and developed system at CSIR-National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL) is a solution to maintain traceability to the users and industries.
