FMC Technologies Measurement Solutions Measure

Master Dual Chamber Orifice Fitting is manufactured
to offer the ultimate in safety, measurement accuracy,
simplicity of operation and economy. It is designed to provide regularly scheduled orifice plate inspections without
interrupting the flow of product. With the unique Dry Seal
Valve , positive chamber sealing is accomplished with
an eccentric precision compressed O-ring seat valve.
Grease or lubrication of any kind is not required. No
springs or slide valves are used that can break or wear
causing damage to sealing surfaces.

Features
High accuracy Orifice Fitting with greaseless Dry
Seal Plug Valve design guarantees upper chamber
isolation
Simplest operation in the industry, less than half the
operations of other fittings
Technician-friendly design
Fewer moving parts than any other fitting

Options

The operator then verifies that the equalization valve is

closed and opens the bleed valve enough to relieve the
pressure in the upper chamber. Once no pressure is in
the chamber, the cover plate clamp set screws are only
loosened to allow removal of the cover plate with the
O-ring seal and cover plate clamp. The elevator screw
is then rotated further until the carrier reaches the top
of travel and swings through the front opening to stop
in the extended position. The orifice plate can now be
inspected or removed.

Operation and Maintenance

The MeasureMaster design allows horizontal or vertical
installation in all sizes. The plate carrier is designed
to accept thrust on its center line eliminating frozen
plates. It is controlled by a non-rising, multi-lead, selfcleaning elevator screw. The eccentric plug valve and
precision seat provides a positive seal without the use
of springs and slides. The cover plate is safety designed
to prevent blowouts. The carrier assembly is attached
to the fitting and remains under positive control during
all phases of operation.
With only seven operational steps, four moving parts
and fewer redress components, the MeasureMaster
offers both cost and time saving opportunities to the
operator. To remove the orifice plate, one (1) operator
rotates the elevator screw handle until the carrier assembly is lifted into the upper chamber and comes to a
full stop. The plug valve is then turned 90 until it stops.

Accuracy
The MeasureMaster ensures complete measurement
accuracy. It meets all AGA industry specifications and
tolerances. The positive centering of orifice plates eliminates gaps both upstream and downstream of the plate.
Prior to shipment it is tested for positive plate sealing,
pressure tap integrity, and eccentricity. The orifice plate
is seated in a metal carrier to eliminate plate deflection
and seal protrusion into the flow path. For ultimate accuracy, consideration should be given to the purchase
of a factory manufactured Meter Tube assembled to
the Orifice Fitting. This will assure an extra margin of
measurement accuracy by reducing the chance for error in field installation. Alignment, welding and testing
are done in the plant, where these functions can be
preformed quickly, precisely, and economically.

Orifice Plates
The MeasureMaster utilizes FMC Measurement Solutions universal orifice plates which meet or exceed all
recognized measurement standards and are available in
a wide range of alloys to meet specific service requirements. Standard material is 304 Stainless Steel. Other
materials available upon request.
Plate Thickness: 2" to 6" 1/8" (3.18 mm), 8" to 14" 1/4"
(6.35 mm), 16" to 24" 3/8" (9.53 mm).
Plate Finish: Polished to No. 4 finish (15-30 Microinch).
Tolerance per ANSI/API 2530, ASME Fluid Meter Handbook and ISA recommended practices, RP 3.2.

Orifice Plate Carrier Assembly

The orifice plate carrier assembly is attached to the
orifice fitting under positive control providing the highest degree of safety during all phases of operation. The
carrier assembly assures positive in-line alignment of
the orifice plate by a factory-set, three-point centering
system. The carrier is designed to accept the centering
thrust on its center line and is controlled by a non-rising,
multi-lead, self-cleaning elevator screw. This prevents
the cocking or freezing of the plate as it travels
through the plug valve.
