FLUID STRAIGHTENING VANES

The use of straightening vanes in metrs run serbes a twofold purpose:

• The turbolence often created in a complex piping system is straightened and smoothed to a normal flow pattern
• The amount of straight pipe required preceding an orifice is reduced.

PITCO offers two types of construction:

• The tubular type, generally used for liquids and vapours
• The fin type, generally used for gas applications.

Vanes are available with carbon steel, 304 or 316 stainless steel tubing welded together and securely attached into the meter run. The tubes are reamed as thick as is practical at both ends, and are constructed so as to minimize the possibility of vibration. All vanes are manufactured according to the latest AGA/API specifications.
