1.2Purpose of this manual
This manual provides guidance to owners and personnel in the installation, operation and
maintenance of the Daniel™ Senior™ Orifice Fitting.
To ensure safe and proper installation, operation and maintenance, it is imperative that
product owners and operation personnel read and follow the information contained in this
manual.
1.3Product description
The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting is an orifice plate holding device that houses, and
accurately positions, an orifice plate within a pipe or tube to measure fluid flow. It is one
component of a flow measurement system. The Senior Orifice Fitting (Senior) is designed
to:
• Position an orifice plate, concentric to flow moving through a pipeline, within API
-14.3, Part 2 or ISO 5167 installation requirements.
• Allow personnel to remove and replace an orifice plate without disturbing the flow
measurement system piping, with little, or no, interruption in service and without
removing the Senior from the system.
The orifice plate within a Senior restricts the fluid moving through a pipe. This restriction
creates a change in static pipe pressure of the fluid. Instrumentation measure the
difference in change of the fluid entering orifice plate bore, and once again after it exits
the plate bore. This instrumentation then combines that information, along with other
data gathered from the flowing fluid, and calculates the amount of fluid that passes
through the system.
The first chamber, or Body (4), properly positions the orifice plate in the flow stream. The
second chamber, or Top (14), is a temporary holding place for the orifice plate during
removing or installing operations (Refer to Orifice plate installation and removal
instructions).

The unit components have part numbers assigned on appropriate drawings and tables.
Refer to Figure 1-2 thru Figure 1-5 and Table 1-4 thru Table 1-8 for part numbers. Example:
Body (4).
Figure 1-1: Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting - Flangnek option
Therefore, using a Senior may eliminate the need for bypass piping, valves, and other
fittings necessary with conventional orifice fitting installations. Maintenance technicians
can replace and repair all parts of the Senior, including the slide valve assembly, without
removing the Body (4) from the line (refer to Maintain).
Emerson designs and manufactures all Senior units to applicable API-14.3
recommendations and in accordance with selected ANSI, ASME and ASTM specifications.
As an option, Emerson Process Management also designs and manufactures fittings in
compliance with ISO 5167.
Products bearing the "CE" mark are designed and manufactured in compliance with the
European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC (available on the internet).
Refer to the "Daniel Orifice Fittings Installation and Operating Instructions specific to the
Pressure Equipment Directive", Part Number 3-9008-002 (available on the Emerson
Process Management website).

Table 1-2: Conditions and specifications (continued)
Pipe supports:The owner must employ sound engineering principles to design the support
systems for the flow measurement system (or meter tube).
It is important that the design engineer develop a method to support the
entire weight (equipment, piping and fluid) of the system.
The method developed must prevent bending to reduce the potential of
creating unwanted stress at welded joints and flanges. Unwanted stresses may
lead to leaks and may ultimately lead to failure or rupture of the flow
measurement system.
Vandalism/
Tampering:
(1) It is ultimately the responsibility of the Owner or End User to determine suitable materials of
construction suitable for a service conditions.
It is the responsibility of each product owner to protect the Senior from
