Measure, throttle, and regulate the flow of liquids and gases in your line by adding an orifice plate to these unions. They consist of two flange halves, plus all of the components needed to connect them together. Tighten the jack bolts to separate the flange halves to inspect or replace the orifice plate.

To throttle flow, mount an orifice plate between the two flanges. The orifice plate restricts the flow in order to regulate it.

To measure flow, build the same assembly, except you’ll also connect a differential pressure gauge or transmitter to both flange halves using the threaded ports. Your gauge or transmitter will measure the difference between the pressure before and after the orifice plate. The pressure difference is proportional to flow rate, so you can use that measurement to calculate your line’s flow rate.

Butt-weld flanges are also known as weld-neck flanges; the flange neck has a beveled end that, when flush to pipe, creates a trough for a strong weld. Slip-on weld flanges have no internal stop; slide a pipe through the flange and weld on both sides.

Flanges that meet ASME B16.36 adhere to specifications and testing requirements for temperature and pressure ratings, dimensions, materials, and tolerances.
