Plate Options & Meter Runs


Orifice Options
Vent Holes located at the highest elevation on the orifice plate and tangent to the pipe inside diameter can be provided to prevent gases trapped in liquid flow from being dammed up behind the orifice plate. Similarly, Drain Holes located at the bottom of the plate can help prevent liquids or condensates in gas or steam from being trapped behind the orifice plate.

Special Coatings can be applied for particularly erosive or corrosive applications.

Special Finishes can be machined on the plate faces to cover the area between the pipe inside diameter to the outside diameter of the gasket seating surface. Special care should be taken that when specifying gasket finishes, use of thicker gaskets may be necessary that may, in turn, introduce flow measurement errors due to the larger-than-standard tap location dimensions.

Orifice Plate Carrier Assemblies are available for installations where it is too costly or otherwise inappropriate to employ standard orifice flanges.

Sanitary Orifice Plates, Multi-Hole Orifice Plates, and Multistage Restriction Orifice Runs are also available.

Wyatt Orifice Meter Runs

OFP-MR: Wyatt Engineering provides complete Orifice Meter Runs that include the orifice plate, orifice flanges, upstream and downstream piping, and (if required)
straightening vanes or flow conditioners. Our flow meter runs are designed to ASME B31.1 (Power Piping), B31.3 (Process Piping), or B31.8 (Gas Transmission Piping) and comply with the metering requirements of AGA 3, API 14, ASME MFC 3M, ASME MFC 14M, and/or ISO 5167. Ends of the meter run can be threaded, beveled for welding, or furnished with flanges (150-lb through 2500-lb) to suit the
application requirements. Certified material and dimensional inspection reports are provided with every meter run.

For line sizes between 12 mm (½”) and 40 mm (1½”), Wyatt Engineering provides its Honed Orifice Metering Section. Used in applications requiring high accuracy in the measurement of low flows rates, these meter runs are used most often in specialty gas and cryogenic applications. Given their size and sensitivity to corrosion, all honed orifice metering sections are fabricated of stainless steel as a
standard, but other materials are available.
