At Canada Pipeline Accessories, we are committed to your success every step of the way. That’s why we post informative videos to our YouTube channel, including installation how-tos. We want to make sure you get the most of your project with accurate measuring, swirl-free flow, and a low profile.
How to Install a Flow Conditioner
Type A flow conditioners are installed with the flange end upstream, with the offset portion installed into the pipe that is immediately upstream of the meter. This maximizes your meter’s performance by ensuring the flow conditioner is centered.
Type B flow conditioners can’t be centered in the pipe because they sit entirely between the flanges. The flow conditioner must be centered against the raised face surfaces, as any discrepancy can result in measurement errors or complete blockage.
Type D flow conditioners will be automatically centered, thanks to the RTJ gaskets when the flange is tightened.

How to Install a Sonic Nozzle
The curved inlet must always point upstream toward the meter, while the outlet cone must always point downstream away from the meter. Our nozzles have a directional arrow on the flange that points downstream, away from the meter being protected.
To learn more, including the scenarios where sonic nozzles are critical, check out our installation video.
Ensuring the Highest Standards
To access the database, visit our website and enter your material heat number (engraved on the flange) in the search bar. From there, you’ll get a scanned PDF copy of the test reports for your peace of mind.
Of course, if you’d like our help with any of these steps, you can give us a call or send us an email any time! We provide world-class, professional customer service and are here for all your project questions.
