AS 3778.5.3:2022 identically adopts ISO 15769:2010, which 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 document 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.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee CE-024, Measurement of water flow in open channels and closed conduits, to supersede AS 3778.5.3—2007, Measurement of water flow in open channels, Part 5.3: Liquid flow in open channels and partly filled pipes—Guidelines for the application of Doppler-based flow measurements.

The objective of this document is to provide guidelines on the principles of operation and the selection and use of Doppler-based and echo correlation velocity meters for continuous-flow gauging.

This document 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.

This document is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 15769:2010, Hydrometry — Guidelines for the application of acoustic velocity meters using the Doppler and echo correlation methods.

As this document has been reproduced from an International document, the following apply:

(a) In the source text “this International Standard” should read “this document”.

(b) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.

Australian or Australian/New Zealand Standards that are identical adoptions of international normative references may be used interchangeably. Refer to the online catalogue for information on specific Standards.
