What is a Flow Conditioner ?
Flow conditioner is a device used in process measurement system. It can effectively eliminate flow distortions, create a fully developed flow profile and help reduce flow measurement facility errors due to installation effects. This device is a perforated plate with holes of varying sizes.
The stainless steel ANSI 316/316L flow conditioners made by WHMTM are superior both in its effect on most flow and in swirl removing capability. More materials are available including Inconel, Monel, Duplex, Hastelloy,etc. We also accept OEM production.
WHMTM N5 Series flow conditioner meets the manufacturing specification in B.3.2 and B.3.3 and requires being installed in accordance with B.3.4. of Annex B of ISO 5167-2:2003.
WHMTM N5 Series flow conditioner ( K-Lab NOVA's) is not required to do "Compliance Testing".
The WHMTM N5 series flow conditioner is available in four different styles depending on the installation status:
FCF-Flow Conditioner Flange Style, FCP-Flow Conditioner Pin Style, FCR-Flow Conditioner RTJF/RTJM Style, and FCS-Flow Conditioner Standard Style
FCF=flow conditioner flange style
FCP=flow conditioner pin style
FCRTJ=flow conditioner RTJF/RTJM style
FCS=flow conditioner orifice style
Flow Conditioner Flange Style
Flanged flow condtioner is designed with raised face.
It is installed between two standard raised face flanges and gaskets.
One end of the flow conditioner is inserted into the downstream pipe bore.
Specification: ISO 5167 / API MPMS 14.3 / AGA 3
Type: A
Style: Flanged RF
Line Size: NPS 2″ ~36″ SCH80 / SCH40
Material: ANSI 316/316L SS (barstock)
Flow Conditioner Pin Style
Type C: Pin style flow conditioner does not have a flange available for installation. It is inserted into the pipe and held in place by a set screw, fully enclosed by the pipe wall.
Specification: ISO 5167 – 1:2003 / API MPMS 14.3 / AGA 3
Type: C
Style: Pin/Long Pin
Line Size: NPS 2”~12” SCH80 / SCH40
Material: ANSI 316/316L SS (barstock)
Flow Conditioner RTJF/RTJM Style
The D style is for an application using ring type joint gaskets.
Flow conditioner is made to match with the flanges and gaskets based on the pressure rating.
Specification: ISO 5167 / API MPMS 14.3 / AGA 3
Type: D
Style: FCRTJF/ FCRTJFM
Line Size: NPS 4″~36″ SCH80 / SCH40
Material: ANSI 316/316L SS (barstock)
Flow Conditioner Standard Style
The S style is for flow conditioner housing. In this situation, flow conditioner housing replaces the orifice flanges to hold the flow conditioner. This flow conditioner is easily taken out in maintenance without dismantling the pipeline.
Specification: ISO 5167 / API MPMS 14.3 / AGA 3
Type: S
Style: Standard Style
Line Size: NPS2”~36″ SCH80 / SCH40
Material: ANSI 316/316L SS (barstock)
