About the Daniel Senior Dual-Chamber Orifice Fittings
Accurate, Reliable And Easy-To-Use
There are over a million Daniel Senior Orifice Fittings in service worldwide. These differential pressure flow meters give unparalleled measurement accuracy in accordance with AGA 3, API 14.3 and OIML 5167. They are the most used device for this purpose. The dual chamber design is an industry leader, saving time and money and preventing unscheduled downtime by providing a fast, safe and extremely simple method of changing orifice plates under pressure. The fitting can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal plane and the unique plate carrier also ensures superior concentricity to reduce measurement uncertainty. The costly bypasses or additional valves that are required with conventional orifice flanges are not needed with this device, simplifying installation and startup.
