Radius Taps are having connections at one pipe diameter upstream and half pipe diameter downstream.

Universal Orifice Plates are the most economical style of plate available because of low initial cost, less maintenance, less storage required, plus the necessity of stocking plates for various pressure ratings is eliminated. Universal Orifice Plates are interchangeable with many types of plate holders. These types of sealing units (dual seals, TEFLON Seals, Metal Seals) are available for use with the universal orifice plats. Removable seals are standard from 2” to 10” sizes, but are also available in larger sizes.

Ring Type Joint orifice plates are made to fit between B16.5 and B16.36 flanges. The male Ring joint of the orifice plates can come in Oval or Octagonal shape although oval is the more common of the two. RTJ orifice plate holders are generally made T-316 or T-304 stainless steel, however other materials can be available upon request. The Orifice plates come in three different styles. Integral (shown below), Snap-ring Style, and Holding-screw style. Ring Joint Orifice Plates come in the following flange ratings (click for dimensions):

• 300 - 600#
• 900#
• 1500#
• 2500#
