Daniel Senior Dual-Chamber Orifice Fitting
With over one million Daniel™ Senior™ Orifice Fittings in service worldwide, this differential pressure flow meter reigns as the most widely used device for unparalleled measurement accuracy in accordance with AGA 3, API 14.
3 and OIML 5167. The industry-leading dual-chamber design saves time and money by providing a fast, safe and extremely simple method of changing orifice plates under pressure to prevent unscheduled downtime. A unique plate carrier ensures superior concentricity to reduce measurement uncertainty and also allows the fitting to be mounted in a vertical or horizontal plane. No need for costly bypasses or additional valves that are required with conventional orifice flanges simplifies installation and startup.
