5 General guidance on manual determination of velocity and flow rate in ducts
5.1 General
5.1.1 Role of this CEN Technical Report
The role of this CEN Technical Report is to provide guidance on the application of the European
Standard EN ISO 16911-1:2013 on the manual determination of velocity and flow rate in ducts. This
Technical Report offers clarification on matters of interpretation of EN ISO 16911-1:2013 and provides
recommendations on its application depending on the uncertainty requirements of the measurement
objective. The adoption of the full Technical Report or parts of it may be decided by individual Member
States' regulatory authorities.
Throughout this Technical Report, reference to the Standard refers to EN ISO 16911-1:2013.

5.1.2 How to use this Technical Report
This Technical Report does not follow the numbering of EN ISO 16911-1:2013; however for easier
handling it uses the same headings and sub-headings as EN ISO 16911-1:2013. It does not repeat text,
tables or diagrams from EN ISO 16911-1:2013, instead it refers to the relevant sections of the Standard.
It is therefore essential that the reader has a copy of the Standard to refer to. For sections of the
Standard where this Technical Report does not provide any text or guidance it is deemed that the
relevant section does not require any additional clarification.
An error has been identified in Formula (F.10) of the uncertainty example in EN ISO 16911-1:2013,
Annex F. It is recommended that the uncertainty example provided in this CEN Technical Report
(see Clause 8) replaces the existing one in the Standard.
5.2 Scope and structure of EN ISO 16911-1
5.2.1 Scope of EN ISO 16911-1
EN ISO 16911-1:2013 is applicable to industrial plants falling under the European Industrial Emission
Directive (2010/75/EU). It is also applicable to industrial plants falling under the EU Emissions Trading
System Directive (EU ETS) (2003/87/EC) that are required or have opted to use the measurement-
based methodology as specified in Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the
monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions (MRR).
5.2.2 Concept of EN ISO 16911-1
EN ISO 16911-1 has been written to apply to different measurement objectives with different
uncertainty requirements ranging from very stringent (EU ETS Tier 4 - ± 2,5 %) to less demanding
(support of isokinetic sampling). The performance characteristics and requirements within the
Standard have been specified as a means of achieving the most stringent uncertainty requirements.
Although not explicitly specified within the Standard, it is implied that the level of quality control
should be determined by the uncertainty requirements of the measurement objective. Therefore for
measurement objectives with lesser uncertainty requirements the level of quality assurance and control
can be reduced. It is the role of this Technical Report to make these distinctions and provide guidance
as to the level of quality control that may be applied.
5.2.3 Relationship to other international standards
EN ISO 16911-1 does not replace existing standards. This Technical Report does not reproduce any
detailed procedures; therefore users will have access to the documents referenced in Clause 2 and in
the final Bibliography.
5.3 Summary of different requirements for determination of velocity and flow rate
5.3.1 Velocity and flow rate monitoring requirements under the Industrial Emissions Directive
The measurement of velocity and flow rate is required under the Industrial Emissions Directive as part
of periodic monitoring for compliance purposes or pollution inventory reporting which involves the
determination of mass emissions. It is also required for the control of isokinetic conditions during the
manual sampling of atmospheric pollutants.
5.3.2 Velocity and flow rate monitoring requirements under the EU ETS Directive
The MRR specify that all flow automated measuring systems (AMS) used for the monitoring and
reporting of GHG under the EU ETS, shall follow the quality assurance procedures specified within
EN 14181 and other corresponding EN standards and therefore by deduction require the flow AMS to
adhere to EN ISO 16911-2:2013 and its calibration (procedure specified in EN ISO 16911-2) to be
carried out using one of the techniques specified within EN ISO 16911-1:2013.

SIST-TP CEN/TR 17078:2017
CEN/TR 17078:2017 (E)
The MRR prescribe Tiers and corresponding maximum permissible uncertainties (Table 1) for emission
sources regulated under the EU ETS. An emission source is considered tier 4 if it emits more than 5,000
tonnes of CO (e) per year or contributes more than 10 % of the total annual emissions of the installation
2
(Commission Decision [EU] No. 601/2012 – 2012). The maximum permissible uncertainty specified for
each tier is the combined uncertainty of the concentration AMS and flow AMS expanded to a 95 %
confidence interval. Under tier 4 – assuming an equal value on both uncertainty components
(concentration and flow) – the target value for each uncertainty component is approximately ± 1,8 %.
The requirement to achieve such a low uncertainty value has dictated the selection and associated
values of certain performance characteristics and requirements specified within EN ISO 16911-1.

greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

5.3.3 Other requirements for monitoring velocity and flow rate in ducts and stacks
A flow profile characterization at the measurement plane may be required. This may be part of the pre-
installation work carried out before a new flow AMS is commissioned and installed or for any other
measurement objective that may require information on the uniformity of flow at the measurement
plane.
The majority of times the calibration of a flow AMS is carried out for reasons of compliance with the EU
ETS Directive. However the calibration of a flow AMS for any other regulatory reasons is not excluded
from the scope of EN ISO 16911-1. The user should adopt those elements required to achieve the
specified uncertainty requirement for their application.

6.5.2 Principle of flow velocity determination at a point the duct
EN ISO 16911-1 specifies the use of 2D Pitot tubes as one of the techniques for the determination of
flow velocity at a measurement point within a duct or stack. In regard with quality assurance and
control of 2D Pitot tubes it refers users to US EPA Method 2G. Table 2 of this Technical Report
reproduces the main performance characteristics and requirements for 2D Pitot tubes as specified in US
EPA Method 2G. For test laboratories wishing to use 2D Pitot tubes the full set of specifications and
requirements of US EPA Method 2G should be adhered to. These requirements only apply to 2D Pitot
tubes that are not covered in detail in EN ISO 16911-1. For example they do not apply for manual S-type
Pitot tubes as the performance characteristics for these are specified within the main text of the
Standard.

6.6.2 Principle of volume flow rate determination from point velocity measurements
EN ISO 16911-1 specifies the use of S-type, 3D or 2D Pitot tubes for the determination of swirl at a
measurement plane. This Technical Report recommends the use of L-type Pitot tubes as another viable
technique for this type of measurement. For more information on the procedure for measuring the
degree of swirl at the measurement plane see 6.12.5.

No guidance required.
6.7 Selection of a monitoring approach
6.7.1 Measurement objective
This Technical Report adopts a slightly different grouping for measurement objectives than
EN ISO 16911-1. This is in order that objectives are grouped based on the proposed quality control that
will be recommended throughout this Technical Report. The grouping of measurement objectives is as
follows:
a) periodic monitoring for compliance purposes according to EN 15259 or pollution inventory
reporting which involves the determination of mass emissions and for the control of isokinetic
conditions during manual sampling;
b) calibration of flow AMS under EN 14181 and EN ISO 16911-2 and/or flow profile characterization
either to meet the requirements of the EU ETS Directive or any other regu
