Question 1

What are orifice flanges used for?

Accepted Answer

Orifice flanges are employed in flow measurement equipment where differential pressure must be created across an orifice plate in order to determine flow rate. Orifice flanges are installed in typical pipelines transferring gas, steam, or liquids in refineries, power generation plants, chemical process units, and water treatment plants. The flanges provide easy accessibility for pressure tap connections and accurate monitoring of flow.

Question 2

Which standards apply to your orifice flanges?

Accepted Answer

Our orifice flanges are made in accordance with ASME B16.36 and ASME B16.5 specifications. These specifications state dimensions, face types, pressure ratings, bore sizes, as well as pressure tap location and threading. For high-requirement applications where accuracy is necessary, such the petrochemical, oil and gas, and power industries, this offers compatibility with orifice plates and measurement equipment.

Question 3

What materials are available for orifice flanges?

Accepted Answer

We use a wide range of materials to make orifice flanges, including high-performance nickel alloys like Inconel 625, Monel 400, and Hastelloy C276; carbon steel (A105); alloy steel (F11, F22); and stainless steel (304, 316). Material choice based on pressure class, temperature range, and type of fluid. Each material is qualified in terms of corrosion, strength, and temperature rating.
