Savant Measurement Corporation is committed to providing the user community with a variety of cost effective, engineered solutions for everyday application challenges. As such, we maintain a broad product line, including both Flow Conditioners (GFC® and pFC™) and Acoustic Filters, (SAFE™ and Destroyer™) to fulfill the varied needs of our customers.

The SAFE and Destroyer provide the user with the option of using either or both devices as required to satisfy the need for noise reduction for Multi-path Ultrasonic Meters (MUSM). If the noise is of such a magnitude that line of sight and total absorption is required then both maybe used, if it is not convenient to employ the use of a single blind tee.

If the anticipated noise reduction required is in the order of 20-30 dB a single SAFE would be sufficient for the installation even if the noise is coming directly at the meter. Testing has shown that the SAFE demonstrates gross noise absorption of 40-50 dB with indirect noise and 20-30 dB with direct noise. Thus the user has the flexibility to determine which installation option best suits the application and mechanical limitations of the station design.

Based on research carried out it is anticipated that in the worst-case flow\dP noise scenarios a noise
reduction of 40-50dB satisfies most "noisy" applications. This reduction provides the MUSM with the
opportunity to work within a reasonable signal to noise or gain ratio level.

The Destroyer and SAFE have both been designed for simple retrofit and new installations. They both utilize a single flange connection. In the case of the SAFE it is 3\4" between flanges, with a single pin connection downstream on the element canister of the assembly, thus ensuring mechanical robustness in real world installations.

The SAFE has been thoroughly tested in both wet\dry and dirty\clean scenarios. Wet testing used a combination of both water and hydro-carbon components to emulate the combination of water, pipeline rouge and compressor oil.

The SAFE may also be retrofitted easily with new absorbent elements as required.

Installation of the devices is easily accomplished with either existing or new flow conditioner installations and may be deployed where the noise source is upstream or downstream in either unidirectional or bi-directional installations.
