Abstract
A laminar flow element for mounting inside a fluid flow channel, which flow element is built up from flat disks which are provided with grooves running between an eccentrically made inlet opening and an outlet opening. The outer disks of a package do not have grooves and only comprise an inlet opening or an outlet opening. The inlet openings together form an inlet channel and the outlet openings together form an outlet channel. The dimensions of the grooves are such that the fluid flows laminar to the channels, formed by said grooves, between the inlet channel and the outlet channel.
