This International Standard specifies methods for determining the velocity and cross-sectional area of water flowing in open channels without ice cover, and for computing the discharge therefrom.

It covers methods of employing current-meters or floats to measure the velocities. It should be noted that although, in some cases, these measurements are intended to determine the stage-discharge relation of a gauging station, this International Standard deals only with single measurements of the discharge; the continuous recording of discharges over a period of time is covered in ISO1100-1 and ISO1100-2.

NOTE The methods for determining the velocity and cross-sectional area of water flowing in open channels with ice cover are specified in ISO9196.
