Orifice flanges: Precision flow measurement with Kingrail Parts flanges

Orifice flanges are essential in industrial processes. You can use orifice flanges with orifice flowmeters to accurately measure liquid and gas flows. They contain precision orifice plates that enable reliable measurements while ensuring system integrity.

Kingrail Parts manufactures best-in-class orifice flanges that meet industry standards. For over 20 years, our products have been known for their precision, ruggedness, and reliability, excelling in a variety of flow monitoring and control applications.

Types of orifice flanges offered by Kingrail Parts

While orifice flanges share similarities with standard pipe flanges, they are configured differently to accommodate a variety of piping requirements. Kingrail Parts offers:

1. Weld Neck Orifice Flanges

Designed to ASME B16.36 standards, they are ideal for high-pressure systems.

2. Slip-On Orifice Flanges

A cost-effective option for low-pressure systems that meet ASME standards.

3. Threaded Orifice Flanges

For Class 300 applications, designed for easy assembly without welding.

For larger sizes over 24 inches, Kingrail Parts offers orifice flanges manufactured to MSS SP-44 standards, ensuring superior performance even in the most demanding environments.

Key Features of Orifice Flanges

1. Pressure Taps

Our orifice flanges come with machined pressure taps, simplifying installation and providing accurate pressure readings without the need for additional pipe tapping.

2. Jacking Screws

Orifice flanges include jacking screws for easy removal during installation, inspection, and maintenance. It facilitates quick removal of the flange for orifice and gasket replacement.

3. Precision Orifice Plates

The orifice plate is the critical element in the system that causes the pressure drop proportional to the flow rate, and its opening is carefully measured. Texas Flanges ensures that each orifice plate is customized to the specific service conditions to ensure its accuracy and reliability.

4. High-Performance Gaskets

Orifice flanges are available with spiral wound gaskets or RTJ gaskets with raised or RTJ faces for a secure seal.

Industries Using Orifice Flanges

Orifice flanges are used in a variety of industries where accurate flow measurement is required.

1. Oil and Gas

In the oil and gas industry, the flow of crude oil, natural gas, and petroleum products needs to be measured.

2. Chemical Processing

Chemicals are controlled to ensure accurate measurement and quality control.

3. Power Generation

In power plants, the flow of steam, water, and fluids is measured to improve efficiency.

4. Water Treatment

Water flow and wastewater are measured in water treatment plants for proper treatment.

5. Food and Beverage

In food and beverage processing, the flow of ingredients is monitored to ensure consistent quality.

6. Pharmaceuticals

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the flow of drugs needs to be monitored to ensure accuracy and safety.
