ICS 17.120.20                         WRD 01

New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 8316 : 1987 ‘Measurement of liquid flow in closed conduits - Method by collection of the liquid in a volumetric tank’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Hydrometry Sectional Committee and approval of the Water Resources Division Council.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standards. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
