Process and plant engineers who need to add a liquid flow meter in already crowded equipment areas where there is an insufficient straight pipe run will find VORTAB Flow Conditioners ensure a smooth flow profile for accurate measurement by flow meters, which often must be installed in close proximity to pumps, valves or elbows due to limited plant real estate.
There are four different VORTAB Flow Conditioner models to accommodate a variety of process requirements.
The VORTAB Insertion Sleeve (VIS) is the most cost effective version of the VORTAB flow conditioning products.
The VIS can be installed directly into existing pipe or specially designed to meet unique piping configurations. The VORTAB Meter Run (VMR) Flow Conditioner offers a complete, simple pipe section replacement for new and existing piping systems.
The VMR is a seven pipe diameter long spool piece comprised of three pipe diameters of VORTAB flow conditioning internals and a built in downstream settling chamber.
The VORTAB Short Run (VSR) flow conditioner offers a simple flow conditioning pipe section replacement for new and existing piping systems.
The VSR is a three pipe diameter long flow conditioning spool piece with just the VORTAB flow conditioning internals. The VORTAB Elbow Flow Conditioner is a 90° long radius elbow (VEL) model.
It offers a simple flow conditioning elbow replacement for new and existing piping systems.
The VEL is the only true isolating elbow flow conditioner in the world. It not only has the ability to isolate irregular velocity profiles and swirl normally encountered in a single elbow, but it also has the ability to isolate any irregular velocity profiles entering the VEL
