Orifice Flange
Installed in a closed pipeline, orifice flange is used to test the flow rate of fluid, gas and steam just like a throttling gear. Standard orifice plate is a metal plate with a round hole. Round-hole wall is perpendicular to the front face of orifice plate. During installing, axis of the plate and the related pipe should be concentric. The orifice flange is fastened on a pipe through a pair of lugs on it. The flange consists of a plate with a hole in center, a metering device and square margin and Jack screws, which are very easy to dismantle. Two pressure taps are respectively insert ed into the lugs to measure pressure difference of the hole on the plate.
