Three to four
diameters of settling distance between the VSR and the flow meter
installation location are required to allow the turbulence
intensity to decrease while maintaining the repeatable velocity
profile. This provides an optimal flow scenario for flow
meters of all technologies installing the VSR flow conditioner can
be accommodated by a variety of process connections including
flanged, threaded, grooved, weld prepped, or customer specified.
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.
