A flow straightener is a device that reduces turbulence and creates uniform flow patterns in fluid systems.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Size | 3-10 mm | |
| Flow Range | 0.5-50 m/s | |
| Channel Shape | Hexagonal | |
| Pressure Drop | < 0.1 bar at design flow | |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to 150°C | |
| Length/Diameter Ratio | 6:1 to 10:1 |

Immediately upstream of flow meters, control valves, or critical process equipment where flow uniformity is essential for accuracy and stability.
Length is determined by required straightening effectiveness. Standard ratios are 6:1 to 10:1 (length:diameter). Longer straighteners provide better conditioning but increase pressure drop and cost.
Special designs exist for gas-liquid flows, but standard straighteners are optimized for single-phase applications. Multiphase use requires careful design to prevent separation or blockage.
