Elbow flow conditioners

The Vortab Elbow Flow Conditioner is an effective, low-cost solution to eliminate the turbulent fluid flows that result in pump cavitation, which can lead to line shutdowns, expensive maintenance and shorter pump life. The conditioner isolates the flow irregularities and conditions the flow stream into a swirl-free and symmetrical velocity profile. Vortab’s anti-swirl and inclined vortex generating profile correction tabs, projecting from the inside pipe surface, generate vortices that accelerate these natural pipe effects to create a uniform, non swirling, symmetrical flow profile in a much shorter section of pipe. Vortab flow conditioners can be made from carbon steel, 316L stainless steel or Hastelloy C-276.
