Why are straight pipe sections required before and after the flow meter? What are the options if space is limited? ? What happens if the straight pipe section requirements are not met?
The purpose of the straight pipe section is to ensure that there are no eddies as the fluid flows through the flow meter, as eddies can affect the accuracy of the flow meter’s measurements. If the site conditions do not meet the requirements, one option is to add a rectifier, and the other is to choose an instrument that requires a shorter straight pipe section.
