Application Considerations BASIC THEORY of FLOW STRAIGHT RUNS CONDITIONS TO AVOID INSERTION vs INLINE METERS FLOW CONDITIONING
Basic Theory IN A PERFECT WORLD FIELD CONDITIONS EQUAL CALIBRATION CONDITIONS
APPLICATION CONDITIONS • GAS CONSTITUENTS • NON-CONDENSING • PIPE ID • TYPE OF PIPE • UPSTREAM STRAIGHT RUN • PROBE INSERTION DEPTH
PIPE SIZE GAS UPSTREAM STRAIGHT RUN INSERTION DEPTH
PIPE SIZE • As ordered and calibrated? • Correct Pipe Schedule? • Correct for Velocities? • GAS • UPSTREAM STRAIGHT RUN • INSERTION DEPTH
PIPE SIZE • GAS • Correct Gas? • Correct % Constituents? • Moisture/Particles Present? • UPSTREAM STRAIGHT RUN • INSTALLATION DEPTH
PIPE SIZE • GAS • UPSTREAM STRAIGHT RUN • Disturbances • Multiple Disturbances • Fully Developed Flow • INSTALLATION DEPTH
PIPE SIZE • GAS • UPSTREAM STRAIGHT RUN • INSTALLATION DEPTH

Straight Run Requirements Elbows Valves Expansions Reductions
Straight Run Requirements DISTURBANCES WITHOUT CONDITIONING WITH SAGE CONDITIONING
Straight Run Requirements One 90° Elbow W/O CONDITIONING 15 to 25 WITH CONDITIONING 3
Straight Run Requirements Two 90° Elbows in the same plane – within 3 diameters W/O CONDITIONING 20 to 36 WITH CONDITIONING 5
Straight Run Requirements Two 90° Elbows in different planes – within 3 diameters W/O CONDITIONING 40 to 62 WITH CONDITIONING 9
Straight Run Requirements Reduction in flow area (4/1) W/O CONDITIONING 15 to18 WITH CONDITIONING 3
Straight Run Requirements Expansion in flow area (4/1) W/O CONDITIONING 30 to 84 WITH CONDITIONING 10
