Flow Pattern
The flow patterns and flow pattern map assume that the flow
conditions in the feed pipe have reached a well-established,
stabilized state. This will not be true if the flow has changed
direction, for example, at elbows and fittings, or experienced
other flow pattern disruptions immediately upstream of
theseparator.
