Model VIP Vortab Insertion Panel Flow Conditioner

Brand: Fluid Components International LLC (FCI)
Does not ship to OH, United States

The Fluid Components Vortab VIP flow conditioner is installed in as little as 1.5 pipe diameters downstream from the flow disturbance and with the flow meter at 3 diameters downstream of the VIP, flow profile anomalies are completely neutralized so that the flow meter receives a swirl-free, symmetric and repeatable flow profile.

The VIP has been engineered and validated utilizing sophisticated flow modeling software tools, and in Vortab’s NIST traceable flow stands under actual installation conditions with elbows, valves, headers and other disturbers. 

It 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.
