1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Principle of Operation

The Daniel Juniore Orifice Fitting is a device that houses~ and aCcUratelypositiom, a Daniel orifice
plate for measuring flow within a pipe or tube. When placed in the Daniel JuniotD Orifice Fitting,
an orifice plate will produce a differential pressure by ab.ruptly constricting the medium flowing
through it. The differential pressure is measured across the plate through two taps located on the
Daniel JunioP Orifice Fitting in the vicinity ofthe constriction. .

The Daniel Junio~ Orifice Fitting's single-cbamber design allows for the inspection and the
replacement of orifice plates without removing the fitting from the_ flow line. Use of the Daniel
Junio~ Orifice Fitting eHroina:tes the effort required to remove and inspect an orifice plate housed
in conventional orifice flange installations.

Daniel manufactures all JuniorQl) units to meet or exceed A.G.A. 2000 recommendations, and are in
accordance with ANSI flange connection specifications and ASTM specifications.

Products bearing the "CE" mark are manufactured in compliance with the European Union Pressure
Equipment Directive (PED) 97!l3IEC.

2.1 Preliminary Steps

On installations which are required to comply with the European Union Pressure Equipment
Directive (PEn) 97/'23IEC, it is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that all Essential Safety
Requirements of this directive are met

Before installing the fitting into the line, clean piping of all foreign material such as welding chips,
scale, oil, grease, and dirt

Remove all foreign matter such as scale, oil, grease, and dirt from the fitting line connections and
internal cavities ofthe fitting that may have collected during the time offinal factory inspection and
line installation.

Ifthe end user qpects the Daniel JuniorQ) Orifice Fitting to encounter severe conditions (conditions
where there is likely to be an accmnulation of sediment from any cause), installation personnel
should install a 'blow down valve in place of the pipe plug (30) at the bottom of the fitting (See
Section 3.0, Maintenance section for instructions concerning severe service conditions).

Record the fitting's plate data for future reference. Always provide the serial number and model
number of the fitting when ordering spare parts.

It is the responsibility of the end user to install the fitting in a well designed piping system taking
due regard ofthe following.

.. Internal/external pressure
• Ambient and operational temperatures
Static pressme and mass ofcontents in operating and test conditions
. .. Traffic, wind and earth loading

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

The Daniel Junior(1) Orifice Fitting js a device that contains fluid at elevated pressure.

Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can result in serious injury or death.

1. The Daniel Junior· Orifice Fitting is only one component of an orifice metering system. If
the JuniotD Orifice Fitting is received without a meter tube" consult the appropriate Codes
,for construction details.

2. When designing your orifice metering system, allow sufficient space aro~d the Daniel
Junior® Orifice Fitting. Cleanmce for both fitting wrench operation and plate changing must
be verified. Check accessibility of all meter pressure taps (3) and drain taps (30) prior to
installation.

3. Before installing the lDeter tube containing the Juniortll Orifice Fitting, clean the meter tube
interior as welt'as the piping sections where the fitting meter tube will be installed. Remove
all foreign materials such as welding debris, scale, oil, grease or dirt.

4. If end flanges are used, select and install the proper gaskets and tighten all bolting to insure
gasket seating and tightness. Ifwelded connections are used, use proper procedures for the
materials beingjoined.

5. After the meter tube is in place and all connections are made, the meter tUbe containing the
Junior- Orifice Fitting should be pressure tested..

:. I
6. Tighten fitting clamping bar screws (11) securely to the torque values provided in Section
52 of this manual.

7. Pressure test the line containing· the meter tube with Junior® Orifice Fitting using an
appropriate test procedure. NOTE: No orifice plate should be in the fitting during testing.

8. Check the entire assembly for leaks. .

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DRATIl

The cot:rett positioning and Installation of the sealing bar gasket (9A), sealillg bar (9,
9BP), and clamping bar (12, 12HP) are essel!tial to provide a pressure barrier between
the Dne pressure and atmospheric pressure.

Failure to install the sealing bar gasket (9A), sealing bar (9, 9HP), and clamping bar (12,
12HP) can result in serious injury or death. .

2.3 Fitting Leak Test-

SERIOUS PERSONAL lNJURY OR DEATH

The Daniel Junio~ Orifice Fitting is a device that contains fluid at elevated pressure.

. . i

Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can resu1t in serious injury or death.

Once personnel install the orifice metering system Daniel Junio~ Orifice Fitting, and secure the
clamping bar (12, 12HP), a leak test must be performed as follows:

1. Install a pressure gauge calibrated to a recognized standard, on the line system in a location
where the gauge will detect the pressure inside the Daniel Junior4l> Orifice Fitting. The
calibrated gauge must be rated to operate at least 150% above the maximum operating
pressure ofthe system (the Daniel Junio~ Orifice Fitting and the adjacent piping).

2. Slowly pressurize the Daniel Junior® Orifice Fitting at a rate of 1 psig per second (0.15 bars
per second) 1Dltil the pressure inside the fitting reaches 20 psig (1.4 bar), then stop andhold
that pressure for five minutes. During the five-minute hold, apply a leak detection solution
to all joint and connector areas of the fitting and line connections. No leakage should be
visibly or audib1y detectable during the hold period.

3. Ifa leak is detected, identify the leak area and reduce the pressure inside the Daniel Junio~
Orifice Fitting to 0 psig (0 bar). Tighten any f~ner or connector adjacent to the leak area
and repeat the leak test again.

4. IT several attempts to stop the leak fail, call Daniel for assistance.

Corred an leaks prior to operation.

Failure to stop any size leak may lead to serious injury or death.

5. Once the 20 psig (1.4 bar) leak test is complete, and no leaks are detected, slowly raise the
pressure inside the Daniel Junior4\> Orifice Fitting at a rate of 10 psig per second to the
maximum operating pressure of the system (the Daniel Junior" Orifice Fitting and the
adjacent piping) or the line operating pressure. Hold the maximum operating pressure inside
the fitting for a period of 10 minutes.

On installations which are required to comply with the European Union Pressure Equipment
Directive (PED) 97 fl31EC, the installation must be tested to at least 1.43 times the MAOP
ofthe lowest rated component in the system.

6. During the ten-minute hold period, apply a leak detection solution to all joint and connector
areas ofthe fitting and line connections. No leakage should be visibly or audt"bly detectabJe
during the hold period. .

If a leak. is detected, identify the leak area and .reduce the pressure inside the fitting
to 0 psig (0 bar). Tighten any fastener or connector adjacent to leak area and repeat
the leak test again. Ifseveral attempts to stop the leak ~ call Daniel for assistance.

7. Slowly release the pressure from th~ fitting until the gauge reads zero (0) psig.

8. If there are no leaks, the Daniel Junior® Orifice Fitting is now ready for orifice plate
installation, final pressurization and operation..
