Standard Practice for Flow Conditioning of Natural Gas and Liquids

Importancia y uso:

4.1 Flow conditioners are used for the conditioning of the turbulent flow profile of gases or liquids to reduce the ADD (velocity profile distortion) DEL (turbulence), swirl, or irregularities caused by the installation effects of piping elbows, length of pipe, valves, tees, and other such equipment or piping configurations that will affect the reading of flow measurement meters thus inducing measurement errors as a result of the flow profile of the gas or liquid not having a fully developed flow profile at the measurement point.4
