Orifice flange

An orifice flange provides a flanged joint around an orifice measurement element and access for differential-pressure connections. ASME B16.36 establishes the standards context for flanges with orifice pressure-differential connections, but the Fittopipe title alone does not establish compliance or a particular detail arrangement. Selection should verify flange style, compatibility with the plate and measurement system, pressure-tap arrangement and installation documents. An orifice plate, jack screws, facing or pressure class is not assumed to be included or fixed.

Application and duty

Flanged joints in orifice differential-pressure measurement systems after instrument components and installation details are matched

Detachable pipe, valve and equipment connections across standards and pressure classes

Flange type, size, class, facing, material, pipe schedule and drilling must be checked as an assembly with gasket and bolting.
