At Metrade, Orifice Weld Neck Flanges are manufactured according to internationally recognized standards, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and reliable performance. An Orifice Weld Neck Flange (OWNF) is a type of specialized flange that is used to connect an orifice plate to a pipeline. The orifice plate is a key component in flow measurement systems, and the flange provides a secure, leak-proof connection between the plate and the pipe. The defining feature of an Orifice Weld Neck Flange is its extended neck, similar to standard weld neck flanges, which is welded to the pipe, ensuring a strong, stable connection.

Orifice Weld Neck Flanges are often employed in systems where accurate flow measurement is critical, such as in flow meters and control systems. The design of these flanges allows for easy installation of orifice plates for measuring the flow rate of gases, liquids, or steam in a variety of industrial applications. The long neck helps to distribute the stresses from the pipe and orifice plate connection evenly, ensuring durability and reducing the risk of failure in high-pressure systems.
