Westfall - Model 3000 -Low Headloss Flow Conditioner
Straightens flow of liquids or gases in pipelines for accurate metering. Westfall developed the Flow Conditioner Model 3000 in response to a potable water customer for whom measurement accuracy and low headloss were of primary importance. Westfall’s Flow Conditioner is a patented design that eliminates swirl and straightens flow within 8 pipe diameters. It creates the fully developed (+/- .05%) velocity profile necessary for accurate measurement while keeping headloss to a minimum.
This product features 4 fin-shaped mixing vanes welded equidistantly around the pipe interior at the upstream edge to create gentle blending vortices. Then 4 wing-shaped flattening vanes are welded equidistantly downstream to create a fully developed velocity profile.
The flow straightener is particularly effective in situations where highly accurate metering is required in spite of the swirl and turbulence caused by pipe bends or inflow of dissimilar fluids, gases or foams.
In regions where issues of water affordability are increasing, accurate measurement is critical.
