What Are Orifice Flanges?
Orifice Flanges and Plates form a specialized measurement system for fluid flow in pipelines. The complete system consists of:
- Two Ported Flanges with pressure taps
- Precision-engineered Orifice Plate
- Sealing plugs
- Jacking bolt
- Optional assembly bolts
The system measures flow rates by creating and monitoring pressure differentials between the upstream and downstream sides of a precisely sized aperture, using fluid dynamics principles.
Applications:
Our orifice measurement systems are crucial for:
- Flow monitoring
- Process control
- Energy management
- Pipeline measurement
- Resource consumption tracking
What Are Orifice Plates?
The Orifice plate is the central component of the flow measurement system, positioned between two Orifice flanges. Its precisely engineered aperture, combined with process parameters, enables accurate flow rate calculations.
- Maintains the technical relationship between components
- Clarifies the plate's purpose
- Emphasizes the measurement aspect
- Uses more precise technical language while remaining accessible
