CRANE STRAIGHTENING VANES. A MEASURABLE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY AND DEPENDABILITY.

Crane straightening vanes are designed and manufactured to ensure years of reliable performance. Installed in the upstream position of the meter tube, Crane straightening vanes reduce the flow disturbance which proceeds the orifice plate. This disturbance is changed to a normal flow pattern as it passes through the vane bundle to ensure increased accuracy of flow measurement.

Crane straightening vanes are manufactured in a variety of sizes and are available for immediate shipment. Carbon steel and stainless steel are standard materials; exotic materials are quoted upon request. All straightening vanes are manufactured in strict accordance with AGA Report #3 and ASME recommendations, and comply with the standards set by numerous other societies and associations.

Vanes are available in flange and a line configuration. The tubes in each vane bundle are welded at each end at all common tangent lines. To permit minimum pressure drop, all tube inlets and outlets are tapered reamed or ground.
