Flow Conditioners & 19 Tube Bundles
Flow Conditioners and 19 Tube bundles are inserted upstream of the primary metering element to condition the flow characteristics and by doing so enable a shortening of the minimum upstream length requirements.
Flow Conditioners eliminate swirl and create a symmetrical flow profile which increases the accuracy of measurement at the primary element. Flow conditioners are used with ultrasonic meters, turbine meters, coriolis and orifice plates where the highest possible accuracy of measurement is required.
19 Tube bundles by nature of their design only eliminate swirl within the pipe though these are still a popular method of flow conditioning.
