Inlet and outlet runs
To attain the specified level of accuracy of the measuring device, the inlet and outlet runs mentioned
below must be maintained at the very minimum.

• If there are several flow disturbances present, the longest specified inlet run must be
maintained.
• If the required inlet runs cannot be observed, it is possible to install a specially designed flow
conditioner
Flow conditioner
If the inlet runs cannot be observed, the use of a flow conditioner is recommended.
The flow conditioner is fitted between two pipe flanges and centered by the mounting bolts.
Generally this reduces the inlet run needed to 10 × DN or 13 × DN with full accuracy.
