Flow meter accuracy is often dependent on achieving a uniform flow profile near the center of the pipe. Distortion and swirl are disturbances in flow that can be remedied either by extending the length of space between the cause of the disturbance and the sensing element (increasing straight pipe runs) or by adding a flow conditioner to correct the disturbance. Flow conditioners installed upstream of flow meters reduce the need for long, straight pipe runs.
Key Features:
In some applications, space isn’t available for enough upstream or downstream straight pipe. In these cases, the FC20 flow conditioner can be a solution. Insertion thermal mass flow meters are easy to install and require minimal straight pipe runs. In the past, the only option to reducing straight pipe runs for very tight spaces was to order inline flow meters which have a flow body and built-in flow conditioner. To give customers more flexibility, Fox Thermal has developed the FC20 flow conditioner for use with insertion style flow meters.
Insertion thermal mass flow meters are easy to install and require minimal straight pipe runs.
Flow conditioners are installed upstream of flow meters to straighten flow before the probe.
