This document specifies a calibration method for mechanical type, electromagnetic type and acoustic type hydrometric current-meters used for point velocity measurement of flowing water. The method requires towing the instrument through still water in a straight open tank. It includes measuring apparatus, the calibration procedure, the method of presenting the results and the uncertainties associated with the method.

ISO 4375:2014 defines the requirements for equipment, anchorage, supports and accessories for cableway systems for use in stream gauging. Systems which are operated either entirely from the river bank or from a suspended personnel carriage (also called a "cable car") are discussed. Should the cableway installation be required to be certified as lifting equipment, other standards or regulations may apply. ISO 4375:2014 is only applicable to the cableway systems to be used for hydrometric measurements.

ISO 1088:2007 provides a standard basis for the collection and processing of data for the determination of the uncertainties in measurements of discharge in open channels by velocity-area methods using current meters. To determine the discharge in open channels by the velocity-area method, components of the flow (velocity, depth and breadth) need to be measured. The component measurements are combined to compute the total discharge. The total uncertainty in the computed discharge is a combination of the uncertainties in the measured components. ISO 1088:2007 is intended to be applied to velocity-area methods that involve measurement of point velocities at a relatively small number of discrete depths and transverse positions in the flow cross-section, as described in ISO 748. It is not intended to be applied to measurements made by Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profilers (ADVP) or other instruments that produce essentially continuous velocity profiles of the flow field.

Provides a method of specifying the performance of hydrometric equipment. Identifies, within a performance framework, the faktors that affect the range of uncertainty within which the hydrological quantity is converted into a numerical quantity. Applies to all equipment used for hydrological measurement, with the exception of equipment used for the determination of water quality.

Concentrates on the specialized equipment required for gaining access through the ice sheet and obtaining area, velocity, and other information for determining the rate of flow under ice. Does not specify techniques for measurement and computation which are dealt with in various International Standards. ISO 9196 specifically deals with the methods for the measurement of flow under ice and this Technical Report is intended to be used with ISO 9196.

ISO 3455:2007 specifies the procedure of calibration of current-meters of rotating-element type as well as stationary-sensor type (electromagnetic type) in straight open tanks. It also specifies the types of tank, rating carriage and equipment to be used and the method of presenting the results. The procedure does not take into account any possible difference existing between the behaviour of a current-meter moving in motionless water and that of a fixed current-meter in turbulent flow.

ISO/TS 24154:2005 gives the principles of operation, construction, maintenance and application of acoustic Doppler profilers to the measurement of velocity and discharge, and discusses calibration and verification issues. It is applicable to open-channel flow measurements with an instrument mounted on a moving vessel. ISO/TS 24154:2005 is not applicable to measurement of liquid flow in small channels or partly-filled pipes using a single Doppler-based flowmeter at a fixed point in the cross section.
