AS-FC Flow Conditioners

 



 


Summary

FCI provides flow and process conditioners that feature the VORTAB® tab type technology for low-pressure drop and foul free performance in liquids and gases. The VORTAB Flow conditioners are available as in-line or insertion elements for simple installation into tight pipe and ducting applications. These conditioners utilize a series of anti-swirl and vortex generating tabs to create an isolated, flat flow profile regardless of upstream pipe disturbances that is ideal for accurate flow measurement with FCI thermal flow meters, all turbine meter and ultrasonic flow meter designs. The use of the FCI provided VORTAB Flow Conditioners greatly improve the accuracy of flow meters in non-ideal installations on commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft vehicles and marine applications.

The FCI provided VORTAB conditioners also improve the performance and reduce the maintenance of pumps and valves in aerospace applications by evenly distributing flow across pump and valve trim. This eliminates uneven loading of flow on impellors and valve trim, while assuring an evenly distributed, homogenized process fluid. This greatly reduces wear and vibration of these devices, while extending service life and maintenance intervals.
