Abstract
Three different tube bundles, a zanker, and an etoile flow conditioner have been tested in a 100 mm orifice flowmeter. The tube bundles included a seven- and a 19-tube configuration. Tests were designed to determine a location for the flow conditioner that would remove the effects of flow disturbances and keep the length of the meter tube as short as possible. The disturbances included an inlet tee, two out-of-plane elbows, and a single elbow. All disturbances were preceded by another long radius elbow located 12 pipe diameters upstream. Results indicate that it may be possible to move the conditioner closer to the disturbance than current standards permit.
