RE: Straight runs for flowmeters

I work in pharmaceutical piping mostly. The Flow meters that I've used have a requirement for 3-6 OD's length of pipe upstream of the instrument. What this does is get a more laminar flow out of the product which provides better accuracy in measurement.

Perhaps some of our instrumentation/flow specialists could throw some light
on the concept of minimum upstream/downstream piping for flowmeters.

I think we've discussed this before (search 5708 previous PipingDesign Group
messages at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PipingDesign/messages) but it's
always worth a recap.
