General Description

 

The RTJ type orifice plate incorporates an integral gasket, either oval or octagonal ring, for mounting between ring type joint flanges. It is based on proven technology, has no moving parts and is suitable for high temperature and pressure applications. Orifice plates are recommended for clean liquids, gases and low velocity steam flows.

 

Dimensions

Plate thicknesses depend on line size and differential pressure, and should be sufficient to prevent the plate from bending under operating conditions.

 

Orifice plates can be made in accordance with customer drawings as required.

 

Materials

RTJ type orifice plates may be machined in one piece, or alternatively from two pieces, with an orifice plate screwed onto a carrier ring/gasket. Standard material grades for orifice plates include 316 Stainless Steel, 304 Stainless Steel, 310 Stainless Steel, Hastelloy® C276, Hastelloy® B3, Duplex Stainless Steel, Super Duplex Stainless Steel, Monel® 400, Carbon Steel, Titanium, Incoloy® 800, Incoloy® 825, Inconel® 600 and Inconel® 625.

 

Common carrier ring/gasket materials include Stainless Steel and soft iron. To ensure correct sealing when installed between flanges, the hardness of the carrier ring/ gasket material is limited to a maximum value, typically 120HB for soft iron rings and 160HB for Stainless Steel Rings.
