Abstract: There is some interest in industry as to the effects of multiple fittings on the net meter pipe installation effect. This Paper is focused on illustrating these effects via computational Fluid Dynamics results. Results indicate that pipe fitting installation effects are not cumulative. Spaghetti streamlines, and velocity profiles, are provided. These results, it appears are not supportive to industry intuition that fittings are additive in disturbance intensity. Rule of Thumb Meter station main line interconnection design recommendations are presented as well. As always, research creates more questions than answers and now we wonder if a quick tabulated analysis can be created to help designers avoid intense meter station piping design errors. The optimization of flow conditioner design is also revisited to help explain why good meter station piping design is important.
