The settling
chamber, which is 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. A multiple of flow
element connection ports can be provided to accept insertion style flowmeters.
Process equipment being directly mounted to the exit of the VMR
flow conditioner can be accommodated by a multitude of process
connections including flanged, threaded, grooved, weld prepped or
specified custom process connections. 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.
