RE: Orifice Flanges

The Gasket you should use for an Orifice Flange set is the same Gasket you would use for a Gate Valve in the same service.

Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results

RE: Orifice Flanges

Yes agreed with Pennpiper. Selection of the gasket is related to piping, not the orifice. If you are sizing an orifice flow meter, please follow your site piping standard for gasket selection.
