Orifice Flange Unions are engineered by FMC and represent the entry level for the DPM measurement equipment. As an economical alternative to an OrificeMeter, Orifice Flange Unions also provide an accurate and convenient orifice fitting. All flanges are primarily manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.36, though can be manufactured to other standards if required.
Benefits:
- Most cost efficient method of orifice measurement with simple operating procedures
- All parts can be replaced though the line would need to be shut down and split
- Meets all API 14.3 Part 2 (AGA) and ISO 5167 industry specifications and tolerances
- No size or pressure limitations apply
- Can be supplied in standard and exotic materials
- Discharge accuracy of ±1%
Meter Runs
FMC Technologies Meter Tubes are manufactured in accordance with AGA 3, ISO 5167 and MFC-3M. They are the ideal addition to any FMC Differntial Pressure meter. Engineered and manufactured to incorporate the client's specific requirements for upstream and downstream measurement, the meter tubes can include additional components such as flow conditioners, pressure & temperature and density take off points.
Flow Measurement Accessories
Straightening Vanes and Flow Conditioners
Whether choosing weld fabricated tube bundles from steel or stainless steel tubing, FMC Technologies Measurement Solutions straightening vanes are made to AGA 3 and ISO specifications. Available in flanged and pin-type configurations. Flow Conditioners are made from stainless or steel alloy variants and are made in accordance with ISO 5167 and PAI 14.3 Part 2 (AGA3). They can be offered in both pin type and flanged configurations for ease of assembly.
Restriction Orifice Plates
FMC's Restriction Orifice Plates are used in applications where line pressure needs to be reduced to a specific pressure drop.
Restriction Orifice Unions
Restriction Orifice Unions are like orifice single plates, but supplied with orifice flanges and accompanying bolting and gaskets.
Multi-Plate Restriction Orifice Spools
In extreme pressure drop applications several plates at varying bore diameters are positioned within a spool piece allowing required drops to be achieved where a single plate offering would not suffice.
