Claim 10:
11. A method of fluid flow conditioning, comprising:
receiving a fluid flow, flowing along a first fluid flow path;
conditioning the fluid flow by flowing the fluid flow through a first conditioner inlet of a first fluid flow conditioner arranged proximal a conduit inlet, wherein the first fluid flow conditioner comprises a second tubular body, wherein a first conditioner inlet is arranged along the second tubular body and comprises a plurality of ports defined radially through the second tubular body, and the second tubular body defines a first conditioner outlet;
redirecting, by the first fluid flow conditioner, the fluid flow away from the first fluid flow path and toward a linear fluid flow path;
flowing the fluid flow along the linear fluid flow path through the first conditioner outlet;
flowing the fluid flow along the linear fluid flow path through a fluid conduit having a first tubular body extending from a conduit inlet to a conduit outlet arranged opposite the conduit inlet, and configured with a predetermined flow geometry;
flowing the fluid flow through a second conditioner inlet of a second fluid flow conditioner arranged proximal the conduit outlet along the linear fluid flow path;
redirecting, by the second fluid flow conditioner, the fluid flow away from the linear fluid flow path and toward a second fluid flow path ; and
conditioning the fluid flow by flowing the fluid flow through a second conditioner outlet of the second fluid flow conditioner.
