ABSTRACT:
A flow diverter for diverting an initial flow stream of pressurized fluid from a source of pressurized fluid. The flow diverter comprises a housing having an upstream end, an inlet opening in the upstream end, a downstream end generally opposed to the upstream end, a top plate extending between the upstream end and the downstream end, a bottom plate generally opposed to the top plate and extending between the upstream end and the downstream end, and a pair of generally opposed lateral sides extending between the upstream end, the downstream end, the top plate and the bottom plate. The upstream end is adapted to be attached to the source of pressurized fluid and the inlet opening is adapted to receive the initial flow stream of pressurized fluid from the source of pressurized fluid. The downstream end is adapted to divert the initial flow stream of pressurized fluid toward the pair of generally opposed lateral sides. The pair of generally opposed lateral sides are adapted to permit the initial flow stream of pressurized fluid to exit the housing in a pair of generally opposed diverted flow streams of pressurized fluid that are substantially perpendicular to the initial flow stream of pressurized fluid. The pair of generally opposed lateral sides are also adapted to permit the measurement of the initial flow stream of pressurized fluid.
