What is BS 3680-2A - Dilution methods for liquid measurement about?
BS 3680-2A is an international standard that discusses the measurement of liquid flow in open channels. BS 3680-2A concerns principles of the constant rate injection method and the sudden injection method (integration method), and the principles of injection, sampling, and analysis which apply to all types of tracers.
It is important to note that the tracers and their concentrations used should be compatible with the legislation of each country regarding the occasional and short-duration discharges of foreign substances into natural waters. They should also consider possible short-term or long-term influences on flora and fauna, both natural and domestic.
BS 3680-2A fulfils your requirements and guides you with the selection of tracers.
Who is BS 3680-2A - Dilution methods for liquid measurement for?
BS 3680-2A on dilution methods for liquid measurement is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of analytical equipment
- Manufacturers and designers of open channel flowmeters
- Testing authorities of dilution testing
Why should you use BS 3680-2A - Dilution methods for liquid measurement?
The dilution method is a method in which the discharge is deduced by determining the ratio of the concentration of the tracer injected to that of the tracer at the sampling cross-section.
BS 3680-2A discusses terms, symbols and units that depict a user-friendly idea of dilution methods. BS 3680-2A assists users with various test methods of dilution methods like constant rate injection method, sudden injection method, and integration method. BS 3680-2A also assists users with the choice of tracer and helps in the criteria for comparison.
Overall, BS 3680-2A is useful as it provides guidance on the measurement of liquid flow in open channels that can be beneficial for your business.
