Abstract: New experimental data are presented from the Gas Research Institute (GRI) Metering Research Facility (MRF) on the performance of flow conditioners used in orifice and turbine meter installations to minimize velocity profile distortion and swirl that may cause flow rate measurement errors. Orifice meter installation effects tests were performed with new designs of tube bundle and perforated plate flow conditioners in the MRF Interim Low Pressure Loop (ILPL) flowing nitrogen at a pressure of 105 psia (0.72 MPa) and a Reynolds number of 9*105 through a 4 inch (102 mm) diameter meter tube with an upstream length of 17 D, corresponding to a minimum upstream length value for p 0.75 recommended by A.G.A. Report No. 3, Part 2 1. Turbine meter upstream effects tests were also carried out in the MRF ILPL at two pressures, 115 psia and 30 psia over a wide flow rate range in a short coupled installation designed to comply with A.GA. Report No.
