Unlike standard weld neck flanges, orifice flanges feature tapped holes (pressure taps) drilled radially through the base, enabling accurate differential pressure readings across an orifice plate.<\/p>\n<p>At Songhai Flange, we understand that proper flow measurement is critical for custody transfer, process control, and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<h3>The Science Behind Orifice Flow Measurement<\/h3>\n<p>When fluid passes through an orifice plate precisely sized bore, it creates a pressure differential between the upstream and downstream sides. This allows instrumentation to calculate exact flow rates using Bernoulli principle.<\/p>\n<p>The accuracy depends on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Proper flange tapping location (flange taps, corner taps, or D and D\/2 taps)<\/li>\n<li>Correct orifice plate bore diameter and beta ratio (typically 0.3 to 0.7)<\/li>\n<li>Adherence to ASME B16.36 and API 2530 standards<\/li>\n<li>Proper installation orientation based on fluid type<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Orifice Flange Types and Configurations<\/h2>\n<h3>Weld Neck Orifice Flange Pairs<\/h3>\n<p>The most common configuration for critical applications with jack screws for maintenance without cutting pipeline.<\/p>\n<h3>Slip-On and Threaded Options<\/h3>\n<p>For lower-pressure utility applications (Class 150 and 300), cost-effective alternatives with reduced space requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>Material Selection<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Carbon Steel (A105):<\/strong> Oil, gas, petrochemical, -20F to 800F<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stainless Steel (F304\/F316):<\/strong> Corrosive service, marine applications<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low-Temp (A350 LF2):<\/strong> LNG, cryogenic applications<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chrome-Moly (F11\/F22\/F91):<\/strong> High-temperature power generation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>ASME B16.36 Specifications<\/h2>\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<tr>\n<th>Specification<\/th>\n<th>Detalles<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Size Range<\/td>\n<td>1 inch through 24 inch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pressure Classes<\/td>\n<td>300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, 2500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Materiales<\/td>\n<td>A105, F304\/F304L, F316\/F316L, A350 LF2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Flow Standard<\/td>\n<td>API 2530 \/ ISO 5167<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Why Choose Songhai Flange<\/h2>\n<p>Songhai Flange manufactures orifice flanges to ASME B16.36 standards with full material traceability.
