    The FC20 flow conditioner is installed upstream of Fox Thermal flow meters to correct irregular flow profiles and ensure measurement accuracy. It is positioned between two flanges according to pipe schedule dimensions for straight run length before and after. The orientation marker must be parallel to the flow meter probe with the louvers facing downstream. Tightening the flange bolts completes the installation.

    FC20 Installation Instructions

    for Insertion Meters


    For use with all insertion Fox Thermal Flow Meters
    Definition: The FC20 is a flow conditioner installed upstream of a Fox Thermal flow
    meter that corrects irregular flow profiles to ensure flow measurement accuracy. The
    FC20 is installed between two flanges in schedule 40 pipe with insertion style meters.
    Purpose: This procedure describes proper installation of the FC20 to ensure flow
    measurement accuracy.
    Directions:
    1. Determine the correct distance for dimensions 2D and 5D from the table below for
    the appropriate schedule 40 pipe.
    2. Ensure proper installation of the branch outlet for the flow meter. See Fox Document
    107590 for more information.

    3. Position the FC20 Flow Conditioner correctly between the flanges.


    • The FC20 must be installed between flanges and two gaskets for optimum seal.
    • Center the flow conditioner between the flanges.
    • The FC20 is equipped with an orientation marker. This marker must be aligned in
    parallel with the probe of the flow meter.
    • The Orientation marker is also etched with “UPSTREAM” to indicate which side, or
    face, of the FC20 must be facing upstream. When installed correctly, the louvers
    inside the pipe will point downstream.
