A glasspack is a straight through pipe, usually installed at the same diameter as the pipe it is connected to. It has glass packing in the enlarged section of the pipe, but not in the center straight through section.
Is it a restriction caused by turbulence? Or could the perceived performance gain be from the large volume area introduced in the system?
