  • Ultrasonic flow meter flow control
    Patent number: 12253396
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a fluid flow conditioning apparatus that includes a linear fluid conduit configured to define a linear fluid flow path, a fluid inlet defining an inlet fluid flow path that is non-parallel to the linear fluid flow path, a first fluid flow conditioner having a first conditioner configured to receive fluid flow along the inlet fluid flow path, condition fluid flow, and redirect conditioned fluid flow away from the inlet fluid flow path along the linear fluid flow path along the major axis, a second fluid flow conditioner configured to receive fluid flow from the linear fluid flow path along the major axis, redirect fluid flow away from the linear fluid flow path along an outlet fluid flow path that is non-parallel to the linear fluid flow path, and condition fluid flow, and a fluid outlet.

  • ULTRASONIC FLOW METER HA YING FLOW CONDITIONING ARRANGEMENTS FOR FLOW CONTROLLING IN A LINEAR FLUID CONDUIT
    Publication number: 20240337517
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a fluid flow conditioning apparatus that includes a linear fluid conduit having a first tubular body defining a major axis and extending from a conduit inlet to a conduit outlet arranged opposite the conduit inlet, and configured with a predetermined flow geometry to define a linear fluid flow path along the major axis, a fluid inlet non-parallel to the linear fluid flow path, a first fluid flow conditioner configured to receive fluid flow, condition fluid flow, and redirect conditioned fluid flow along the linear fluid flow path along the major axis, a second fluid flow conditioner configured to receive fluid flow from the linear fluid flow path along the major axis, redirect fluid flow away from the linear fluid flow path, and condition fluid flow.
