Flow measurement flow conditioner VIP Vortab®

The patented* VIP (Vortab Insertion Panel) flow conditioner completely neutralizes flow profile irregularities caused by elbows, valves, blowers, compressors, and other flow disturbances that commonly occur in piping and duct runs and cause flow meter inaccuracies. The VIP provides a swirl-free, symmetric and repeatable flow profile that flow meters require for accurate measurement. Model VIP flow conditioners marry the scientifically proven superior performance of Vortab tab-type flow conditioning technology with the installation ease and cost savings of an insertion panel design. VIP is particularly effective with wide-turndown and/or low flow sensitive flow meter technologies (e.g. thermal dispersion) to provide a highly repeatable flow profile during laminar, transitional and turbulent flow conditions. Applications Piping with inadequate straight-runs Processes that require repeatable symmetric and swirl free velocity flow profiles For Pipe Sizes ≥ 2” [≥ 50 mm] Perfect for Applications requiring low pressure drop FCI Endorsed for Use with Thermal-Dispersion Gas Mass Flow Meters Specifications Process Media: Gases Materials of Construction: 316L stainless steel; contact Vortab for other materials Pipe Size: 2″ to 40″ [50 mm to 999.9 mm] standard; larger sizes available – contact Vortab Installation: Weld in place or flange mounted; ANSI or DIN Shipping Weight: (approximate) 2 lbs per inch diameter [0,9 kg per 25 mm] US Patent Number 9,010,994
