Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that
committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental,
in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards, but
in exceptional circumstances a technical committee may propose the publication
of a Technical Report of one of the following types:
— type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of
an International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
— type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for
any other reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an
agreement on an International Standard;
— type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind
from that which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of
the art”, for example).
Technical Reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of
publication, to decide whether they can be transformed into International
Standards. Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed
until the data they provide are considered to be no longer valid or useful.
ISO/TR 8363, which is a Technical Report of type 2, was prepared by Technical
Committee ISO/TC 113, Hydrometric measurements, Subcommittee SC 1,
Velocity area methods.
This document is being issued in the type 2 Technical Report series of
publications (according to subclause G.6.2.2 of part 1 of the IEC/ISO Directives)
as a “prospective standard for provisional application” in the field of hydrometric
measurements because there is an urgent need for guidance on how standards in
this field should be used to meet an identified need.
This document is not to be regarded as an “International Standard”. It is
proposed for provisional application so that information and experience of its use
in practice may be gathered. Comments on the content of this document should
be sent to the ISO Central Secretariat.
A review of this type 2 Technical Report will be carried out not later than three
years after its publication with the options of: extension for another three years;
conversion into an International Standard; or withdrawal.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of ISO 8363:1986, which
has been technically revised.
Annex A of this Technical Report is for information only.
Descriptors: Liquid flow, water flow, open channel flow, flow measurement, rules (instructions).
