D = Meter Size (Nominal diameter in inches)

 

 

With a fl ow straightener, the inlet pipe length may be reduced by 50%. For example, with a 

 

 

control valve upstream, the inlet length is 25D instead of 50D. The minimum inlet pipe length 

 

 

including the fl ow straightener must always be at least 12D. 

 

 

Pipe vibration caused, for example, by the action of pumps, valves, etc. will distort fl ow 

 

 

measurements, particularly at low fl ow velocities. To minimize the effects of vibration, 

 

 

support the pipeline on both sides of the meter in a direction perpendicular to both the 

 

 

pipeline and the shedder bar axis.
