The orifice flange is a flange used to measure fluid flow in piping systems. They are designed with a small hole or orifice in the center of the flange to restrict the flow of fluid through the pipe. The size of the orifice typically creates a pressure drop across the flange that can be measured and used to calculate the flow rate of the fluid. So what are its characteristics?

High precision: The measurement precision of the orifice flange is high, which can meet the precision requirement of ±1%. This is because the structure of the orifice plate flange is simple, and a pressure difference will be generated when the fluid flows through the orifice plate, and the flow rate is calculated by measuring the pressure difference, so the accuracy is high.

Easy installation: The installation of the orifice flange is very convenient, only need to install the orifice flange on the pipeline. Moreover, the size of the orifice plate flange is the same as that of the pipe, so there is no need to modify the pipe, which reduces installation costs and time.

Simple maintenance: The structure of the orifice plate flange is simple, there are no moving parts, so maintenance is simple. All that is required is regular cleaning and inspection of the orifice plate for wear.

Wide range of applications: Orifice plate flanges are suitable for various fluid media, including liquid, gas, and steam, etc. Moreover, the size range of the orifice flange is also very wide, which can be applied to pipes of different sizes.

Low cost: Orifice flanges are low cost compared to other flow measuring instruments. This is because the structure of the orifice flange is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the installation and maintenance costs are also low.

High reliability: The structure of the orifice plate flange is simple, the service life is long, and it has high reliability and stability.

In short, the orifice flange is a very practical flow measuring instrument, which has the characteristics of high precision, convenient installation, simple maintenance, wide application range, low cost, and high reliability, and is widely used in various engineering projects.
