An orifice flange is a type of flange that is used to measure the flow rate of fluids in a pipeline. It consists of a flange with two pressure tappings machined into it, opposite each other. The orifice plate is installed between the two flanges, and the pressure drop across the orifice plate is used to calculate the flow rate.
Orifice flanges are typically made from carbon steel or stainless steel, and they are available in a variety of sizes and materials. They are used in a wide variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical, and water treatment.

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. Orifice Flange Unions are designed &; manufactured to AGA, ASME, and ISA recommendations. We are manufacturing wide array of the following types- Raised Face weld neck orifice flanges Slip on threaded ring joint corner tap weld neck orifice flanges Raised Face slip-on orifice flange Ring-Type joint weld neck orifice flanges Corner tap orifice flanges
Orifice flanges usually apply to measure the volumetric flow of liquids and gases through a pipe. Two orifice flanges are referred to as an orifice flange union. Each flange is equipped with two valves to measure the pressure drop of the flow through an orifice plate. The orifice plates do not come with the flanges and are dimensioned according to the requirements of the process. Two screws are used to spread the flanges to change the orifice plate. This flange is normally available in welded, sliding and threaded flanges. The orifice flanges generally have an elevated face. They are usually used for a general and mechanical engineering purpose and also for structural purpose. 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. We also make 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. The range of orifice flanges covers all standard sizes and ranges, and all common flange materials. Flanges are available in Welding Neck, Slip On, and Threaded form, and are typically supplied with two 1/2" NPT tappings in each flange.
