SENIOR DUAL-CHAMBER ORIFICE FITTING
Accurate, reliable and easy-to-use

The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting is a dual-chamber device that reigns as the most widely used means of measurement for
natural gas. With an installed base of well over one million orifice fittings worldwide, more natural gas is measured with the
Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting than any other type of device.
The Senior Orifice Fitting saves users time and money by providing a fast, safe and simple method of changing orifice plates
under pressure without flow interruption. The dual-chamber design eliminates a need for costly piping bypasses such as
additional valves and fittings required with conventional orifice flange installations.
Important facts about Daniel fittings

• he orifice plate carrier ensures compliance with strict eccentricity requirements of the API 14.3 and ISO 5167 standards by
T
using metal-to-metal orifice plate alignment in 8-in line size fittings and smaller.
• The plate carrier allows for high differential pressure plate changes.
• O
rifice plate carrier and plate alignment for 2-in to 8-in fittings are not field adjustable. This insures the fitting maintains
factory conditions.
• O
ne seal ring may be used for all pipe schedules in a given line size (up to Schedule 30 or Standard, whichever is larger) to
meet API 14.3 and ISO 5167 requirements for seat gaps. (This reduces the need to purchase multiple seal rings.)
• F
ield-repairable, reducing downtime and costs associated with shipping to a repair site.
• A
variety of materials make the fitting an ideal solution for sour gas and other special applications. Corrosion resistant and
other special casting materials, including Wrought Carbon Steel (WCC, WCB), Low Temperature Carbon Steel (LCC), 316
Stainless Steel and Duplex, make this fitting an ideal solution for sour gas service and other special applications.
• he plate seals are located on both the upstream and downstream side of the plate and seat faces and are more commonly
T
known as dual face seals.
• F
our (4) pairs of pressure taps are standard on 2-in to 24-in ANSI 600 Daniel dual-chamber fittings.
• he slide valve metal to metal seat, (hard seat(1)), contains lubricant that is ideal for dirty applications, providing an optimal
T
seal in the production environment where particulate matter is common.
• O
ptional soft seat slide valve(2) (O-ring seal without lubricant) is available in 2-in to 12-in fittings up to ANSI Class 600 for use
with clean gas products, including ethylene.
• A
ll Daniel Senior Orifice Fittings are hydrostatically tested.
(1) Hard-seat using injected grease / sealant is recommended for production applications where sand, grit and other particulate matter is present.
(2) S
oft-seat, greaseless seal is not recommended / intended for production applications where sand, grit and other particulate matter is commonly present
(e.g., shale gas production).

Plate carrier for 2-in to 8-in Senior Orifice Fittings

The Daniel orifice plate carrier uses a four-point positioning system that ensures superior concentricity within the fitting in
accordance with the API 14.3 (AGA 3) and ISO 5167 standards (see Figure 4). Metal-to-metal contact of the plate outer
diameter with the inner diameter of the orifice plate carrier, coupled with precision contact points of the orifice plate carrier
to the fitting, offers users consistent compliance with AGA eccentricity requirements in a vertical or horizontal plane.
The Daniel plate carrier is compatible with Daniel Senior Orifice Fittings manufactured after 1992. For upgrade information,
please contact your local Daniel representative.
Figure 2: Design features
1. P
recision ground corner tabs keep the orifice plate carrier in the proper position and allow the fitting to be mounted in the
nine, twelve or three o’clock position (see Figure 5 on page 8).
2. N
otched seal ring design provides metal-to-metal contact for reliable alignment and centering of the orifice plate.
3. The fitting’s pin and the spring loaded button located at the top of the orifice plate carrier ensure tight positioning of the
plate carrier when the slide valve is closed and the Senior Orifice Fitting is in the vertical or horizontal metering position (see
Figure 3 on page 7).
4. W
ide flow ports reduce differential pressure load across the plate surface during a plate change.
5. A
360° seal ring support shelf secures the plate in place.

NOTICE
This view is a representation only and is not intended for use as a field guide to operations. See Senior Orifice Fitting user
manual (P/N 1-3-9008-001) and always read and follow the detailed operating instructions provided with each fitting before
attempting operation.

J. Lower chamber
Valve strip (Part No. 3), and valve seat (Part No. 18) create the metal to metal seal. Slide valve carrier (Part No. 17) is moved
by turning the operating wrench.
Before opening the slide valve, lubricant is injected using the grease gun (Part No. 23). Next, the equalizer valve (Part No. 1)
is operated to equalize pressure throughout the fitting, allowing the slide valve to move freely without wear.
The metal-to-metal seal with lubricant ensures an optimal seal, particularly in production environments where sand and
particulate matter are common.

Daniel lubricant
Daniel lubricant is specifically designed for lubricating the slide valve of Senior Orifice Fittings, ensuring maximum operating
performance. This lubricant has significant advantages:
• Tested over a wide range of demanding temperatures (-20°F to +160°F) and pressures (up to 1,400 psig)
• C
ontains no fillers or inert materials, reducing hardening or oxidizing.
• D
ifferent types of lubricants(4) are available to meet the various demanding needs of gas applications.
• D
aniel lubricant is available in B-sized sticks (.375-in diameter, 1.5-in long), with 24 sticks per box.
Important
For more specific information on lubrication, refer to Section 5.2 of the Senior Orifice Fitting manual (P/N 1-3-9008-001)

The flange-by-flange (F x F) configuration of the 2-in to 12-in Senior Orifice Fittings has changed on ANSI 600 models only.
The flange-by-flange configuration has been replaced with a raised-face or ring-type-joint Flangnek (RFFN or RTJ FN) config-
uration featuring a flange welded to the upstream side (inlet) of the Flangnek fitting. This means the face-to-face dimen-
sions are longer than previous versions and will not retrofit into the void of a F x F Senior Orifice Fitting purchased prior to
August 2012. To replace discontinued F x F models, existing piping must be modified to accommodate the added length.
