Technical description
Application: Heating and cooling systems Tapwater systems Function: Measuring Dimensions: DN 20-900 Pressure class: PN 16 (DN 20-900) PN 25 (DN 65-300) PN 40 (DN 65-450) Temperature: Max. working temperature: 120C Min. working temperature: -20C Material: Fixed orifice: Stainless steel X3CrNiMo17-13-3 (No. 1.4436 according to EN 10028-7 or EN 10272 (BS 970 316/S16) Measuring points: AMETAL Sealing (measuring points): EPDM AMETAL is the dezinfication resistant alloy of TA. Marking: TA, MDFO, DN, PN, Charge No, flow direction arrow. DN 20-150 (PN 16): BS 7350.

General
Wafer pattern orifice for fixing between EN 1092, ISO 7005 (BS 4504) flanges. The measuring orifice fulfils the requirements of BS 1042: Section 1.1:1992 (ISO 5167-1:1991). The calculation of flow rates are according to BS 1042: Section 1.4:1992. Measuring points MDFO (52 176 and 52 276) with extended self-sealed measuring points.

Installation
Before you install the measuring orifice, check that: - it is clean and undamaged. - the surfaces that are to seal against are clean and undamaged. - there is enough straight pipe lengths before and after the measuring orifice. The measuring orifice should be installed betweeen two counter flanges. Check that these counter flanges are parallel and that the gaskets are according to given standard for flanges. Check also that the measuring orifice and the gaskets are correctly centred before tightening.
