Abstract
A tool for supporting and centering a flat circular orifice plate flow meter between two pipe flanges that have circumferentially spaced apart circular flange bolt holes that lie on a bolt circle and receive circular flange bolts for interconnecting the flanges, comprising a flat plate having a first edge which includes at least two points that lie on a line of curvature having a radius equal to the radius of the circular orifice plate, and at least one set of at least two tool holes sized to receive two of the bolts that interconnect the flanges.
Claims6
A tool for supporting and centering a circular orifice plate flow meter between two pipe flanges that have circumferentially spaced apart flange bolt holes that receive flange bolts for interconnecting the flanges, comprising,
- a flat plate having,
- a first edge which includes at least two points that lie on an arc of a chord where the arc has a radius equal to the radius of the circular orifice plate and the chord defines the circumferential limits of the edge, and
- at least one set of at least two apertures sized to receive two of the bolts that interconnect the flanges.
