    The document outlines straight run requirements for various flow meter types, including: 1. Magnetic flow meters require a minimum 5D upstream and 3D downstream straight run. 2. Annubar, vortex, and orifice meters require a minimum 20D, 25D, or 40D upstream straight run depending on the configuration of upstream elbows or tees. 3. A minimum 5D downstream straight run is required for all meter types. 4. Notes provide additional guidance for horizontal liquid lines and situations where straight run requirements cannot be met.

    The document outlines straight run requirements for various flow meter types including magnetic, annubar, vortex, and orifice meters.

    For magnetic flow meters, a minimum of 5 diameters of straight pipe is required upstream and 3 diameters downstream of elbows or tees.

    Requirements for annubar, vortex, and orifice meters depend on the configuration and distance from the previous fitting, ranging from 20 to 40 diameters of straight pipe upstream and 5 diameters downstream.

    1.0 SCOPE

    The following up and downstream unobstructed straight lengths are required by the Instrument
    Group for all Magnetic, Annubar, Vortex, and Orifice meters runs. Required Diameters ‘D’ is the
    nominal pipe size in metric.

    2.0 INSTRUCTION

    2.1 MAGNETIC FLOW METERS

    A straight run upstream length of 5D minimum is required from the weld of the elbow or tee
    regardless of the piping configuration before the elbow or tee. The downstream run is 3D
    Minimum to the weld of the next fitting.

    The preferred mounting position is in a horizontal line fully flooded (See Note1)

    2.2 ANNUBAR, VORTEX, and ORIFICE METERS

    Where the upstream elbow is more than from the previous elbow or tee the upstream straight run
    from the weld of the elbow to the flow meter is 20D minimum

    Where the upstream elbow is less than 10D from the previous elbow or tee in the same plane, the
    upstream straight run from the weld of the elbow to the flow meter is 25D minimum.
    Where the upstream elbow is lees than 10D from the previous elbow or tee in a different plane,
    or the last upstream component is a globe valve, the upstream straight run from the weld of the
    elbow or valve flange to the flow meter is 40D minimum.
    For annubars in gas or vapor systems the flow element should be mounted in the horizontal
    position to avoid any potential error caused by any condensed liquid in the pipe. In liquid lines
    preferred mounting position is in a horizontal line with the line fully flooded (see Note1)
    The downstream length is 5D minimum in all cases.

    NOTES:
    1. Horizontal liquid lines at high points of piping systems do not usually run full of liquid.
    Where the accuracy of a meter is critical to the Instrument Group and would be
    improved by the meter being fully flooded a note will be added to the P&ID.

    Only in cases where this note is present and the piping configuration is such that a LIQUID
    meter run is placed in the horizontal at the high point of the piping system, a “gooseneck”
    shall be created at the first downstream down-turned elbow to keep the line fully flooded. The
    gooseneck will consist of two vertical 45 elbows welded together and a short horizontal
    (150mm) pup piece with a valve vent immediately before the down-turned elbow. As a
    second choice the meter run can be placed in an upward flowing vertical pipe run, but
    NEVER in a downward flowing vertical run. These requirements do not apply to gas or vapor
    systems.
    2. In any situation where these straight lengths cannot be achieved by good piping design the
    Instrument Group must be consulted on the use of flow conditioner devises (e.g. straightening
    vanes).
