Orifice Plates & Orifice Flange Assemblies
Precision Differential Flow Measurement Solutions
Gulf Oil & Gas International is a premier global distributor and direct supplier of high-precision Orifice Plates, Restriction Orifice Plates, and Orifice Flange Assemblies. Engineered to perform under severe temperature and high-pressure process conditions, our orifice plates strictly adhere to international quality design codes including ISO 5167, AGA 3, BS 1042, DIN 1952, API, and Miller standards.
Our standard plates are crafted using premium Stainless Steel 316L featuring Raised Face (RF) gasket surfaces accompanied by full 3.1 material test certificates. To meet custom Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) specifications, we supply plates in specialized metallurgy—including Duplex, Super Duplex, Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel, and Titanium—supporting diverse configurations like Flat Face (FF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ Oval & Octagonal), and paddle tab-handles.
We accommodate expedited fast-track project deliveries across global supply hubs. Every custom plate features precise bore stamping on the extended tag-plate to ensure exact parameters are fed into flow computers for optimal custody transfer and backpressure regulation. Structural integrity and strength calculations are provided to verify line thickness against pressure drop requirements.

Why do we use an orifice plate? These are frequently used for measuring the flow rate of gases and liquids (fluids) through pipelines but can also be used to choke the flow and so limit the throughput.
Orifice plates can be designed and calculated in compliance with any required standard. Our standard orifice plates are manufactured from stainless steel 316L, featuring a gasket surface and accompanied by material certificates 3.1. Additionally, other materials and designs are available, including those conforming to standards such as DIN, JIS, and RTJ, with options for oval, octagonal, or grooved configurations.
We ensure precision by stamping the measured orifice diameter onto the tag plate, enabling accurate use of dimensions in flow computation. Strength calculations can also be provided to verify the plate's thickness against pressure loss.
With a stock of base materials in the most common sizes, competitive pricing and quick delivery times are ensured. For urgent requirements, rush deliveries can be accommodated, often on the same day.
