Abstract: This paper describes the test work undertaken to establish that the compliance test in ISO 5167- 1:2003 is satisfactory for Venturi tubes and also to determine the required upstream lengths when a Zanker Flow Conditioner Plate is installed upstream of a Venturi tube. In essence the Zanker Flow Conditioner Plate met the compliance test upstream of a Venturi tube provided that there is at least 3D between the plate and the upstream pressure tapping of the Venturi tube and 7D between the plate and any upstream fitting. However, if the compliance test were to apply to flow conditioners with Venturi tubes at high Reynolds number, it is worth noting that the shift in discharge coefficient due to a flow conditioner does not have a single value for all ReD 3 106. Moreover, the requirements of the compliance test in terms of range of friction factor may be too restrictive
