Abstract
A method for producing a turbulence conditioner for use with an ultrasonic flow meter in a pipe having the steps of identifying an effective diameter of an aperture of the flow meter to be disposed in an opening in the pipe through which the flow meter communicates pulses of ultrasonic energy with the interior of the pipe. There is the step of building a conditioner with a pitch between openings in the conditioner which is less than the effective diameter.
