What is ISO 2186:2007 Fluid flow in closed conduits – Connections for pressure signal transmissions between primary and secondary elements?
ISO 2186:2007 is a standard that specifies the requirements for connections used for pressure signal transmissions between primary and secondary elements in closed conduit fluid flow measurement systems.
In a closed conduit fluid flow measurement system, the primary element (such as an orifice plate or a Venturi meter) generates a pressure drop across it due to the fluid flow. The secondary element (such as a pressure transmitter) measures this pressure drop and converts it into a flow rate. Thus, The connection between the primary and secondary elements is critical to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.
ISO 2186 defines the types of connections that can be used for pressure signal transmissions. Including threaded connections, flange connections, and weld connections. The standard also specifies the dimensions and tolerances for these connections. To ensure compatibility and interchangeability between different manufacturers’ products.
Therefore, It helps to ensure that pressure signal transmissions between primary and secondary elements in closed conduit fluid flow measurement systems are accurate, reliable, and consistent.
Requirements of ISO 2186:2007
ISO 2186:2007 specifies several requirements for connections used for pressure signal transmissions between primary and secondary elements in closed conduit fluid flow measurement systems. Some of these requirements include:
Compatibility: The connection should be compatible with both the primary and secondary elements, as well as with the fluid being measured.
Interchangeability: The connection should be interchangeable with similar connections made by different manufacturers. To facilitate replacement and repair.
Material: The connection should be made from materials that are suitable for the intended application. Also, that are resistant to corrosion, erosion, and other forms of wear and tear.
Dimensions: The connection should have specified dimensions, including inner and outer diameters, thread pitch, and bolt circle diameter (in the case of flange connections). To ensure compatibility and interchangeability.
Tolerances: The connection should have specified tolerances for dimensional variations. To ensure that it fits properly with the primary and secondary elements.
Pressure rating: The connection should have a specified pressure rating that is appropriate for the intended application. And that ensures the connection can handle the maximum pressure in the fluid flow system.
At last, Leak tightness: The connection should be designed to prevent leakage of fluid, to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.
So, By specifying these requirements, you can ensure that connections used for pressure signal transmissions between primary and secondary elements in closed conduit fluid flow measurement systems are accurate, reliable, and consistent.
Benefits of this ISO Standard
There are several benefits to using ISO 2186 as a standard for connections used for pressure signal transmissions between primary and secondary elements in closed conduit fluid flow measurement systems. Some of these benefits include:
Improved accuracy: The standard specifies requirements for compatibility, interchangeability, dimensions, tolerances, and leak tightness. Which helps to ensure that pressure signal transmissions are accurate and reliable.
Consistency: The standard provides a common set of requirements that can be used by different manufacturers to produce compatible and interchangeable connections. Which helps to ensure consistency across different fluid flow measurement systems.
Ease of maintenance: The standard’s requirements for interchangeability and compatibility make it easier to replace and repair connections. Which can reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Increased safety: The standard’s requirements for pressure rating and leak tightness help to ensure that the connections are safe to use. Also it can withstand the pressures involved in fluid flow measurement systems.
Finally, International recognition: ISO 2186:2007 is an internationally recognized standard, which means that it can be used by organizations and industries around the world. To ensure consistent and reliable pressure signal transmissions in closed conduit fluid flow measurement systems.
