Two simple
mounting techniques include welding into the conduit (link to dwgs
VISOUTLN & V00482-2) or we offer a retaining wafer, which can be
sandwiched between flanges to secure in place (link to dwgs
VISOUTFL V00483-4). The retaining wafer’s diameter matches the
raised face of a standard ANSII #150 or #300 class flange. The
retaining wafer can be located at either the inlet, outlet, or
anywhere in between. A settling distance downstream from the VIS
of three to four pipe diameters in length, allows the turbulence
intensity to decrease while maintaining the repeatable velocity
profile. This provides an optimal flow scenario for flow meters
of all technologies. VORTAB flow conditioners provide the lowest
pressure loss solutions to flow profile irregularities caused by
elbows, valves, blowers, compressors and other disruptions that
commonly occur in piping and duct runs.
NOTE: This link is replaced the two drawings above or make a
new drawing to show the VIS mounted with retaining wafer via
flanges.
