Orifice <strong>Flan</strong>ge<br />

The function of an orifice flange is <strong>to</strong> meter the flow of<br />

liquids and gases through a pipe line. Figure 1-9 shows<br />

an orifice flange complete with bolting and jack screws.<br />

The jack screws are used <strong>to</strong> spread the flanges apart in a<br />

line <strong>to</strong> change an orifice plate between the two flanges.<br />
