Flow Conditioning Plates & Meter Mounts:

For applications where existing piping is not ideal for flow measurement, InFLOW, INC. offers Flow Conditioning Plates. These Flow Conditioning Plates as used in our MacroFLOW meter are also available individually or can be combined into pipe sections with meter mounts to further simplify difficult installations. By incorporating a Flow Conditioning Plate into the system, a significant reduction in required straight run is achieved.

In ideal pipe flow, viscous forces tend to create drag along the walls slowing the local fluid velocity more then at the center of the pipe. Consequently for Reynolds Numbers above several thousand, a theoretical velocity profile approximating a flattened parabola is assumed. In non-ideal situations; elbows, valves, and other fittings can generate a non-asymmetrical profile in addition to swirl and pulsation issues. In order to "correct" these anomalies, a strategically tailored flow restriction is needed. Starting with a traditional perforated plate, we adjust the hole size and placement such that the center flow is less restricted than the near wall flow. The resultant is a stabilized flow condition with a more ideal flow profile. ASME, ANSI, and other construction standards are followed to assure system integrity.
