General information
The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting is an essential element in an orifice plate flow measurement
system. Other elements in the system usually include, but are not limited to, a meter tube, a
flow conditioner, and various data recording devices. Purchasers have the option of acquiring
only a Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting unit from Daniel for later installation in a flow measurement
system, purchasing a Senior Orifice Fitting with a meter tube, or purchasing a complete orifice
plate flow measurement system containing a Senior Orifice Fitting.
Daniel hydrostatically tests every Senior unit for fluid retention, under factory controlled
conditions, to a minimum pressure of 1.5 times its rated maximum allowable operating
pressure.
Important
When purchasing a Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting for installation within a meter tube at a later
date, the hydrostatic testing of the Senior/meter tube assembly is the responsibility of the
product owners and product operating personnel only.
