 ORIPAC FLOW MEASURING SYSTEM
About the ORIPAC FLOW MEASURING SYSTEM
The ORIPAC Series is a complete orifice plate flow metering package
incorporating an orifice plate with a unique holder or carrier ring ORIPAC MODEL 5300
containing metering taps and integral gaskets. Unitized Stainless Steel For Water, Air, Steam, Corrosive
Unlike a standard orifice plate, the ORIPAC is a true primary element Construction Fluids, High-Pressure & High-
including the various components for differential pressure Temperature Fluids
measurement. It was designed for use wherever there is an application
for a conventional flow orifice plate. It can also be used in place of other
primary differential producers for efficiency and cost effectiveness. ORIPAC MODEL 4150
Standard size units available from stock and Fiberglass Ring with For Water, Air, & Gases
customized units are available to meet specific Stainless Steel Plate
field requirements including flange rating, pipe
schedule and differential pressure. Installation is
accomplished simply by slipping the self-

flanges (orifice flanges are not required). All PVC or CPVC For Low Pressure Gases
The ORIPAC is available for most line sizes and Construction

ORIPAC Installation Instructions
General: Many of the installation problems associated with standard orifice
plates have been eliminated by the use of the ORIPAC. Simply follow these (side view)
instructions for an accurate and reliable meter.
Pipe Requirements: Upstream and downstream pipe requirements are
contingent upon two factors: (a) Beta Ratio:-ratio of the orifice bore "b" divided
by the inlet bore (pipe l.D.) (b) The type of fitting or disturbance upstream of the
ORIPAC. For most applications, 10 pipe dia. upstream & 5 dia. downstream are
sufficient. (5 pipe dia. up and 2 dia. down are acceptable for non-critical
application.) Refer to additional piping requirement sheet for specific scenarios. (optional)
metering
Installation Tips: (a) If possible, do not install a valve upstream if it is going to be
throttled. Install on the downstream a minimum of 6 diameters from the taps/nipples* scale
ORIPAC. (b) The use of straightening vanes is not necessary for most
applications.

 RTJ ORIFICE PLATES
Ring Type Joint (RTJ) orifice plates are recommended for clean
liquids, gases and low velocity steam flows.
RTJ orifice plates incorporate integral gaskets for installa on
between ring-type joint flanges. Based on proven technology,
there are no moving parts and they are suitable for high-
temperature and high-pressure applica ons.
Plate thickness depends on line size and differen al pressure
and should be sufficient to prevent the plate from deforming
under opera ng condi ons.
RTJ type orifice plates may be machined in one piece, or
alterna vely from two pieces, with an orifice plate screwed onto
a carrier ring/gasket.

Orifice plates can be made in accordance with

customer drawings as required.
RTJ type orifice plates can be supplied complete
with ANSI B16.36 orifice flanges.
Plate and handle are either one-piece seamless
design or the handle is welded to the plate –
depending on size and ASME class.
Flange ASME class and other standard info is
stamped on the handle.

 SEAL POTS
Seal Pots/Condensate Chambers
Condensate chambers are used as a barrier between the main line and
the secondary instruments in the measurement of steam or other
vapors which condense to a liquid state insuring compatibility with the L
secondary instruments. They can also be used to cool down very high
temperature liquids. Seal pots are installed where the line fluid is
corrosive or viscous to the extent where it cannot be permitted to
contact the secondary instrument (transmitter or gage) thereby acting D
as a liquid barrier between the line fluid and the condensate.
Material: Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, P22 and other alloy
steel and other materials. Standard pipe sizes are 2" through 6" and
pressure ratings for carbon steel as indicated on the enclosed chart.
Connection fittings are NPT or welded socket adaptors. Chambers can
be hydrostatically tested and x-rayed upon request. ISO and ISA STYLE 1 STYLE 2 STYLE 3 STYLE 4
standards are typically followed unless otherwise specified. Welding
can be to ANSI 1331.1 code if required.
Typical industry applications include: refineries, power plants, Connections are 3000# or 6000# welded half couplings, NPT or
chemical & petrochemical, steel plants and other process industries. socket weld. Connections available in any quantity or arrangement.

barrier to the line fluid permitting direct sensation of the flow
conditions. Units should be mounted at the same level minimizing
possible error that could arise due to unequal head of fluid in the
connecting pressure lines.
Please provide the following information for a specific quotation:
Initial sizing of the required liquid level in the seal pots is function of the
Pipe Size and Schedule
flow parameters. The basic rule of thumb is that the level in the
chambers should equal the total volume of condensate in the Material
transmitter and the sensing lines. This also complies with ASME Style (Refer to drawing): Location and Number of Taps
requirements. Exact capacity is also contingent on a number of other Quantity Required
issues including: relative humidity, dew point, pressure, flow rate, etc.
Standard maintenance includes draining/filling as necessary.

 FLOW NOZZLES
Flow Nozzles
Used for Gas, Liquid and Steam Flow Measurement
Standard Sizes: 1/8" - 60", All Flange Ratings. Available in
stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, fiberglass, spun
aluminum, PVC, Hastalloy, Monel and other materials.
Available in all line sizes and throats. Sized for standard,
critical or sonic flow conditions. Also can be provided as
part of an ASME nozzle meter run with piping, flanges,
calibration, etc.

The "STANDARD" FLANGE FLOW The "WELD-IN" FLOW NOZZLE style is

NOZZLE style is the most commonly used designed to be installed permanently in
Flow Nozzle. It is designed to be inserted a pipe section. This nozzle has a specially
between pipe flanges. A special machined step on its outside diameter
machined shoulder on the back side of that is used to align a beveled inlet and
the flange assures the proper alignment outlet bored pipe section. This type
of the nozzle with the pipe I.D. This style nozzle is widely used where high
Flow Nozzle utilizes pipe wall taps whose temperature and pressure applications
location is determined by the Beta Ratio. prohibit the use of pipe flanges such as in
power plant and feed water installations.
Pipe wall taps are utilized with this style.

The "TAPPED" TYPE FLANGED FLOW The "HOLDING RING" FLOW NOZZLE
NOZZLE is similar to the "FLANGE" style, style is designed so that the welding of
but includes a downstream tap (usually a dissimilar materials is eliminated, A
1/2" connection) provided in the flange special holding ring and locating pins are
of the nozzle. This style nozzle is made of the same material as the pipe
recommended in smaller line sizes that the nozzle Is to be installed in. This
where the downstream tap may allows for the nozzle to be offered in a
i nte r fe re w i t h t h e p i p e we l d o r wide range of materials. This style is not
downstream mounting flange. recommended for line sizes below 4
Inches.

"Throat tap" type flow nozzles also available.
