Orifice Flanges
Orifice flanges are used with orifice meters for the purpose of measuring the flow rate of either liquids or gases in the respective pipeline. Pairs of pressure "tapings,", mostly on two sides, directly opposite each other, are machined into the orifice flange. This makes separate orifice carriers or tappings in the pipe wall unnecessary. Orifice flanges generally come with either raised faces or RTJ (Ring Type Joint) facings. They are, for all intensive purposes, the same as weld necks and slip-on flanges with extra machining. The image on the right shows a set of orifice flanges, where an orifice plate is mounted and a jack screw is machined. This jack screw is used to facilitate separating the flanges for inspection or replacement of the orifice plate and gaskets.
