Compact Orifice Flow Meter: Features & Benefits

The compact orifice flow meter is an updated version of the orifice assembly that provides highly accurate and repeatable measurement for single phase flows and steam. It has a simple, direct mounting design that eliminates the need for fittings, tubing, and other accessories by integrating the differential pressure transmitter directly onto the wafer body. This ensures proper alignment within the pipe and higher measurement accuracy compared to traditional orifice meter installations. The compact flow meter uses the corner tap design specified in ISO 5167 and is available in line sizes from 1/2” to 12” for liquid, gas, and vapor services with temperature and pressure limits depending on the mounting configuration.
