How CPA Products Deliver More Repeatable And Accurate Performance
It is Canada Pipeline Accessories’ (CPA) mission to improve the world of fluid dynamics with innovative and precise measurement solutions. For over 20 years, we have invested in collecting and compiling data to design and produce the most dependable device to maximize...
Repeatability and Accuracy – Flow Conditioner Effects
A proper flow conditioner is effective in a wide range of fluids and Reynolds numbers. Flow conditioning is not typically fluid specific. In fact, perforated plate flow conditioners can be used in many fluids other than just natural gas. For example, a...
Pipeline Simulations: Elbows vs Tees
The intent of meter station piping design is to create a layout that is affordable to build while maximizing capacity and flow meter performance. Of the various piping elements used to construct these designs, elbows and tees are critical components that are required...
Testing Part & Pipeline Designs with Computational Fluid Dynamics
Many new products meet an early demise because rigorous testing is overlooked during the research and development phase. Across industries, research and development is an important investment that not only comes with a hefty price tag, but many challenges...
Causes of Inaccurate Measurements and the Solution
Inaccurate measurements can cause short term and long term heachaches for oil and gas companies. Such headaches may include financial losses (due to an incorrect amount of product being bought or sold), or operational downtime for installations (in order to diagnose...
Why Our Flow Conditioners Give More Accurate Measurements
