Orifice Plate Pressure Taps There are 6 types of pressure taps that can be used on pipes in conjunction with orifice plates. They are used to allow the transmitter to tap into the pipe to measure the high and low pressure sides of the flow. These types are as follows. Orifice Plates cover a wide range of applications of fluid and operating conditions. They give an acceptable level of uncertainities at lowest cost and long life without regular maintenance. We manufacture orifice plates, restriction orifice plates, with or without carrier ring, meter run assemblies.
Grade 5 is the aerospace grade and is not cold formable, so it is used more often when no forming is needed. Grade 5 aerospace alloy will have ultimate tensile strength at and above 120,000 psi.Plate is often used with the goal to get really close to the final dimensions of the part being made. The material is worked to the closest size of the desired part and the grain structure of the finished piece is more homogenous. Titanium sheet is often used as a heat barrier because titanium stops the heat and does not transfer to the rest of the assembly. Titanium plate and sheet have ballistic properties making it great for driver protection in racing.
