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 "Tappings", mostly on 2 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 neck and slip on flanges with extra machining. The image on the right shows a set Orifice Flanges, where a 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.

Certified stainless steel billets are selected according to ASTM, ASME, and EN standards.
Billets are heated and forged into the required flange shape for maximum strength.
Precision machining creates the bore, facing, bolt holes, and required dimensions.
Stress relieving and solution annealing are performed whenever required.
PMI, dimensional inspection, hydrostatic testing, and NDT ensure product quality.
Flanges are cleaned, pickled, passivated, and finished as per customer requirements.
Each flange receives grade, size, heat number, and standard identification markings.
Products are packed securely with flange protectors, wooden pallets, and export-ready crates.
What differentiates an Orifice Flange from a standard Weld Neck Flange?
Orifice Flanges are specially manufactured with radial tapped pressure-tapping holes machined through the flange ring. These ports allow orifice meters and instrumentation to be connected for accurate flow measurement of gases and liquids within the pipeline.
Do your Orifice Flange assemblies include the jacking screws?
Yes. Our ASME B16.36 Orifice Flange assemblies are supplied with integral jacking screws, allowing the flanges to be easily separated during pipeline maintenance, inspection, and orifice plate replacement.
