Vortab flow conditioners reduce straight-run requirements to just a few diameters. Vortab flow conditioners eliminate the flow distortion effects of elbows.
Most flow meter technologies require significant and often unattainable upstream and downstream straight-run to meet and sustain specified accuracy. Similarly, most pump and compressor manufacturers recommend significant straight-run to ensure even flow into the pump to minimize wear and maximize service life.
Vortab flow conditioners reduce straight-run requirements to just a few diameters. Vortab flow conditioners eliminate the flow distortion effects of elbows, pipe expansion or reductions, valves, dampeners and other disrupters to produce a swirl-free, symmetrical and repeatable flow profile to the flow meter, pump, or other critical components.
Further, Vortab flow conditioners have extremely low pressure drop, resulting in significant energy cost savings over alternative flow conditioning technologies.
