Contour FCH™
Conditioner Housings
The Contour FCH™ Flow Conditioner Housing brings the ease, safety and practicality of inspecting and changing an orifice plate to the flow conditioner. This long overdue concept allows for regular inspections of the flow conditioner without breaking apart the flow line. The Canalta Contour FCH™ allows the operator to easily perform flow conditioner inspection and maintenance on the same regular schedule as the orifice plate. With this innovative, newly patented design, you can be sure that your flow profile has not been degraded by damage, blockage or residue accumulation.
All bore surfaces and internal dimensions within the housing are manufactured to strictly comply with the latest editions of AGA-3 and ISO-5167. The Canalta Contour FCH™ is effective for both ultrasonic and differential pressure custody transfer applications, where flow profile and measurement accuracy are critical.
The body connects to the line upstream of the flow conditioning plate through an integral body flange. This design virtually eliminates flow disturbances caused by RF and RTJ flange breaks, making your flow profile that much more reliable. Approved for 150 - 900 ANSI ratings, these integral body flanges also reduce costs by eliminating material and fabrication procedures.
Key Features
- AGA-3 and ISO-5167 compliance
