CPA 50E

Flow Conditioner

The CPA 50E Flow Conditioner is the industry benchmark, backed by over 25 years of independent laboratory test data. Engineered to create a swirl-free, fully developed flow profile, it improves meter reliability, reduces measurement uncertainty, and shortens required meter runs.

Canada Pipeline Accessories (CPA) is the sole manufacturer of the CPA 50E. Its performance is validated across a wide range of fluids, including natural gas, air, water, liquid petroleum, and heavy oil, making it the most extensively tested flow conditioner available.
