The flow conditioner (2) for fluid transportation pipes includes an essentially tubular main body (4) forming a support at least one flow rectifier (8) placed inside the main body (4) essentially perpendicular to the XX' axis of this body and a porous plate (10) placed inside the main body (4) behind and parallel to the flow rectifier (8). The elements (4 8, 10) of the conditioner are placed so that a substantial part of the fluid flows through the flow rectifier (8) and the porous plate (10) in the absence of blockage in the porous plate. A diversion circuit is planned to ensure continuous flow in case the porous plate should become blocked.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
