Westfall Model 3000 Flow Conditioner Provides Extremely Low Head Loss

BRISTOL, RI--(Marketwire - Jul 31, 2012) - Westfall Manufacturing Company has introduced a patented flow conditioner that is ideal for situations where swirl, turbulence and mal-distribution of flow exist upstream from a flow meter.

The Westfall Model 3000 Flow Conditioner employs two sets of tapered and curved vanes with precise geometries and positioning to eliminate swirl and turbulence with 80% less head loss than perforated plates and 50% less than tube bundles. Creating the ideal conditions for accurate flow measurement, this compact flow conditioner mounts directly into a pipeline and produces a fully developed velocity profile within six diameters downstream.

Tested and developed at Alden Research Laboratory using FLUENT CFD software, the Westfall Model 3000 Flow Conditioner is available in sizes from 1/2" to 120" dia. and is two diameters long. Virtually maintenance-free, it can be fabricated from PVC, FRP, 316 SS, with or without a Teflon^® coating, and other engineering materials. Typical applications include municipal and industrial water treatment, potable water, and wastewater.

The Westfall Model 3000 Flow Conditioner is priced from $295.00 to $30,000.00 (list) and is engineered to the application.
