Orifice Flange Assembly

If your flow metering setup lacks tight alignment and certified fittings, measurement errors and rework costs rise fast. Orifice Flange Assembly with tapping holes deliver direct pressure access and strict bore alignment, ensuring accurate DP flow readings.

Standard Specification

ASME B16.36, ISO 5167, AGA Report No. 3

Pressure Rating

Class 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500 (PN20 to PN420)

Material

Carbon Steel (A105), Stainless Steel (A182 F304/F316), Alloy Steel (A694 F52)

Nominal Size

½” to 24″ (DN15 to DN600) [Most common: 2″-12″ (DN50-DN300)]

Flange Type

Orifice Flange Pair (RF or RTJ) with Jack Screws & Pressure Tappings

Product Description

Loose tolerances and surface inconsistencies affect system integrity and calibration. These assemblies meet ASME B16.36 and ISO 5167, with tapping positions machined for precise transmitter connection.

Facing Type

Raised Face (RF) or Ring-Type Joint (RTJ) [No flat face]

Dimensions

ASME B16.36 Table 2 (Thickness +20% vs standard flanges)

Bolt Circle Diameter

Matches standard ASME B16.5 flanges [±0.06″ tolerance]

Number & Size of Bolt Holes

Standard flange pattern + (2) ½” NPT tapping holes [Radial/angular position per ISO 5167]

Surface Finish

125-250 μin RA (RF), 63-125 μin RA (RTJ) [Bore finish 32-63 μin Ra]

Corrosion Resistance

SS316 common for tappings; Carbon steel often epoxy-lined

Temperature Rating

-20°F to +1000°F (-29°C to +538°C) [Material dependent]

Material Certification

EN 10204 3.1, NACE MR0175 (optional), PED 2014/68/EU

Gasket Compatibility

Orifice Plate Gaskets (SS316 spiral wound + graphite filler)

Coating/Plating

Internal epoxy coating (for carbon steel), Passivation (SS)

Manufacturing Method

Forged (A105/A182) + Precision machining [Bore concentricity ≤0.5% of diameter]

Technical Advantages

Incorrect bore alignment can lead to large DP errors during flow calculation. These orifice flange assembly hold concentricity within 0.5% of diameter. They come with jack screws for quick orifice plate replacement without flange removal. 
 
Surface roughness stays within 32-63 μin Ra, keeping tapping integrity and sealing consistent. Each pair supports full traceability with MTRs, marking, and compliance to EN 10204 3.1 and optional NACE MR0175.

Industry Applications

Natural Gas Skids

Integrates with flow meters to provide differential pressure data, maintaining custody transfer accuracy. 

Refinery Header Lines

Measures flow in high-temperature, high-pressure pipelines using RTJ-faced pairs with strong sealing. 

Power Plant Steam Loops

Monitors steam flow through Class 600 to 2500 flanges, supporting thermal load balancing.  

Petrochemical Units

Controls flow in chemical circuits with corrosion-resistant tapping ports and tight bore concentricity. 

Offshore Metering Systems

Withstands high salinity and pressure surges, enabling long-term flow tracking in remote rigs.

Water Injection Pipelines

Ensures stable flow measurement using epoxy-coated carbon steel or stainless assemblies under varied pressures. 

Orifice Flange Assembly

Orifice Flange Assemblies with Certified Tapping Accuracy

Unverified tapping positions can delay installation and increase calibration time. Our assemblies match radial and angular tapping points per ISO 5167, saving setup time at your site. 
They fit ASME B16.5 bolt patterns and maintain standard gasket fit, reducing downtime during integration. Choose from forged carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy builds for service pressures up to 2500 class.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Do the tapping holes align with standard DP transmitters without modification?

Yes, the tapping holes follow ISO 5167 spacing and radial angles, which match most standard DP transmitters. This avoids extra fitting work or adapters. Buyers can connect instrumentation without layout changes.

How do you control bore alignment between the flange pair?

We machine each orifice flange pair with concentricity held within 0.5% of bore diameter. This ensures accurate differential pressure across the orifice plate. Poor alignment often skews flow readings, so this tolerance matters.

Can we specify flange material and tapping port material separately?

Yes, you can select different materials for flange bodies and tapping inserts. For example, many choose carbon steel flanges with SS316 tapping ports. This reduces cost while improving corrosion resistance at the connection points. 

What support do you provide for orifice plate and gasket matching?

We supply gasket groove dimensions per ASME B16.36 to fit spiral wound gaskets with graphite filler. We also confirm bore matching for customer-supplied orifice plates. This helps avoid seal failures and mismatched installation.

How do you ensure reliable performance under fluctuating pressure conditions?

We use jack screws to secure the orifice flange assembly tightly during installation, preventing movement during pressure shifts. The bolt circle and tapping ports maintain tolerance under load cycles. This gives stable flow readings in varying process conditions.
