INSTALLATION
CHECKLIST
The following list is a summary of the steps required to complete a

Rosemount 1495 Orifice Plate installation. If this is an entirely new
installation, begin with step 1. If the Flange Union is already in place, verify
that the orifice flange size and rating match the recommended specifications,
and begin with step 5.
1.
Determine where the Rosemount 1495 Orifice Plate, 1496 Flange

Union is to be placed within the piping system.
2.
Establish the proper orientation as determined by the intended

service for the orifice plate.
3.
Review Appendix B Recommended Installation Requirements.
4.
Confirm the Rosemount 1495 and/or 1496 configurations.
5.
Measure the pipes internal diameter (ID), preferably at 1 x ID from

the orifice flange (upstream or downstream), or at the tap location for
flange taps.
NOTE
Providing the pipe internal diameter at the time of purchase is necessary to
maintain published orifice plate accuracy.
www.rosemount.com
6.
Install the hardware. Refer to Section 3 for 1495 Orifice Plate

installation and Section 4 for 1496 Orifice Flange Union installation.

RECEIVING AND
INSPECTION
Rosemount 1495 Orifice Plates, 1496 Flange Unions are available in different
models and with different options, so it is important to inspect and know which
model you have before beginning installation.
Upon receipt of the shipment, check the packing list against the material
received and the purchase order. Report any damage to the carrier.
INSTALLATION
CONFIGURATION
The Orifice Flowmeter Assembly must be installed in the proper orientation

relative to the pipe and the fluid measured.
Gas Applications
Mount hardware upward to allow moisture to drain out and not fill the impulse
piping:
Slope impulse piping at least one inch per foot (8 centimeters per
meter) downward from the transmitter toward the process connection.
Liquid Applications
Mount hardware downward to allow the escape of trapped vapor in the
impulse piping:
2-2
Slope impulse piping at least one inch per foot (8 centimeters per
meter) upward from the transmitter toward the process connection.
Vent all gas from the liquid piping legs.
Prevent sediment deposits in the impulse piping.
Keep the liquid head balanced on both legs of the impulse piping.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4792, Rev CA
August 2010

Steam Applications
Mount hardware to allow for a water leg in the impulse piping:
In steam or other elevated temperature services, do not allow the

temperatures at the transmitter process flanges to exceed 300 F (149
C).
Do not blow down impulse piping through the transmitter. Flush the
lines with the blocking valves closed and refill the lines with water
before resuming measurement
Keep the liquid head balanced on both legs of the impulse piping.
Flow
Other Installation Considerations:
STRAIGHT RUN
REQUIREMENTS
Orient the high side of transmitter to measure upstream of the DP

element.
Orient the low side of transmitter to measure downstream of the DP

element.
Temperature taps and thermowells should be located downstream of

the DP element.
Flow Conditioners and Straighteners are always located upstream of

the DP element. Refer to Appendix B Recommended Installation
Requirements.
The handle of the orifice plate has the word Inlet stamped on the side
that faces upstream.
To correct for installation effects, the transmitter should be zeroed after

mounting.
To obtain published accuracy, sufficient straight run is required to produce a

fully developed flow profile. Shorter straight run lengths are possible, but
accuracy will be affected. Consult the Factory for further information. Refer to
Appendix B Recommended Installation Requirements for recommended
straight pipe lengths.

Personal hazard! To prevent injury, remove pressure and drain pipe assembly before
installing or removing orifice plate.
If the process fluid is caustic or otherwise hazardous, the procedure outlined here must be
modified as required to prevent death or serious injury to personnel.
Step 4: Install the Orifice

Plate
General installation instructions to install (or remove) the orifice plate are as
follows:
1.
Make certain the pipeline is not under pressure and has been drained
or purged.
2.
Loosen all studs and nuts.
3.
Remove the studs in one half of the flange union.
4.
Spread flange union by turning jackscrews clockwise.
5.
Install new plate or remove existing plate for replacement or

inspection.
6.
Install new gaskets when installing plate. It is recommended to install

new gaskets each time orifice flange union is separated.
7.
Release the flange union by turning Jackscrews counter clockwise.
8.
Replace studs.
9.
Tighten studs in a star pattern. See Bolt Torque Recommendations

on page B-12.

NOTE 1
The minimum straight lengths required are the lengths between various fittings located upstream or downstream of
the orifice plate and the orifice plate itself. Straight lengths shall be measured from the downstream end of the
curved portion of the nearest (or only) bend or of the tee or the downstream end of the curved or conical portion of
the reducer or the expander.
NOTE 2
Most of the bends on which the lengths in this table are based had a radius of curvature equal to 1.5D.
a
S is the separation between the two bends measured from the downstream end of the curved portion of the upstream end to the upstream end of
the curved portion of the downstream bend.
This is not a good upstream installation; a flow conditioner should be used where possible.
The installation of thermometer pockets or wells will not alter the required minimum upstream straight lengths for the other fittings.
A thermometer pocket or well of diameter between 0.03D and 0.13D may be installed provided that the value in Columns A and B are increased to 20
and 10 respectively. Such an installation is not, however, recommended.
Column A for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to zero additional uncertainty values (see 6.2.3).
Column B for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to 0.5% additional uncertainty values (see 6.2.4).
The straight length in Column A gives zero additional uncertainty; data are not available for shorter straight lengths which could be used to give the
required straight lengths for Column B.
95D is required for ReD > 2 x 106 if S < 2D.

NOTE
The straight lengths given in the table are the permitted lengths between the downstream end of a 19-tube bundle
flow straightener (1998) (as described in 6.3.2.1) and the orifice plate given that a particular fitting is installed
upstream of the 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998) at a distance Lf from the orifice plate. The distance Lf from
the orifice plate is measured to the downstream end of the curved portion of the nearest (or only) bend or of the tee
or the downstream end of the curved or conical portion of the reducer or expander. The recommended values give
tube bundle locations that are applicable over a specified range of .
a

h
Bends should have a radius of curvature equal to 1.5D.
Column A for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to zero additional uncertainty values (see 6.3.2.3.2).
Column B for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to 0.5% additional uncertainty values (see 6.3.2.3.3).
n is the number of diameters such that the upstream end of the 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998) is situated 1D from the downstream end of the
curved or conical portion of the nearest fitting. It is desirable that the length between the upstream end of the 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998)
and the downstream end of the curved or conical portion of the nearest fitting should be at least 2.5D, except where this would not give an acceptable
value for the distance between the orifice plate and the downstream end of the 19-tube bundle flow straightener.
It is not possible to find an acceptable location for a 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998) downstream of the particular fitting for all values of Lf to
which the column applies.
If =0.46 a value of 9.5 is possible.
if =0.54 a value of 13 is possible.

UL = Minimum meter tube length upstream of the orifice plate in internal pipe diameter (Di). Straight length shall be measured from the downstream end of the curved portion of the nearest (or only) elbow or of the tee or the downstream end of the conical portion of reducer or
expander.
DL = Minimum downstream meter tube length in internal pipe diameters (Di).
S = Separation distance between piping elements in internal pipe diameter (Di) measured from the downstream end of the curved portion of
the upstream elbow to the upstream end of the curved portion of the downstream elbow.
* These installations exhibit the strong effect of Reynolds number and pipe roughness on the recommended length due to the rate of swirl
decay. The present recommendations have been developed for high Reynolds numbers and smooth pipes to capture the worst case.
Note: The tolerance on specified lengths for UL and DL is 0.25Di.

(1) S is the separation between the two bands measured from the downstream end of the curved portion of the upstream bend to the upstream end
of the curved portion of the downstream bend.
(2) This is not a good upstream installation; a flow conditioner should be used where possible.
(3) The straight length in each Column A gives zero additional uncertainty; data are not available for shorter straight lengths which could be used to
give the required straight lengths for each Column B.
(4) 95D is required for ReD X 106 if S < 2D.
(5) The installation of thermometer pockets or wells will not alter the required minimum upstream straight lengths for the other fittings.
(6) A thermometer pocket or well of diameter between 0.03D and 0.13D may be installed provided that the values in each Column A and B are
increased to 20 and 10 respectively. Such an installation is not, however, recommended.
GENERAL NOTES:
(a) Values expressed as multiples of internal diameter, D.
(b) The minimum straight lengths required are the lengths between various fittings located upstream or downstream of the orifice plate and the orifice
plate itself. Straight lengths shall be measured from the downstream end of the curved portion of the nearest (or only) bend or of the tee or the
downstream end of the curved or conical portion of the reducer or the expander.
(c) Most of the bends on which the lengths in this table are based had a radius of curvature equal to 1.5D.
(d) Column A for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to zero additional uncertainty values [see para. 2-5.2(c)].
(e) Column B for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to 0.5% additional uncertainty values [see para. 2-5.2(d)].

Bends should have a radius of curvature equal to 1.5D.
Column A for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to zero additional uncertainty values (see 6.3.2.3.2).
Column B for each fitting gives lengths corresponding to 0.5% additional uncertainty values (see 6.3.2.3.3).
n is the number of diameters such that the upstream end of the 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998) is situated 1D from the downstream end of the
curved or conical portion of the nearest fitting. It is desirable that the length between the upstream end of the 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998)
and the downstream end of the curved or conical portion of the nearest fitting should be at least 2.5D, except where this would not give an acceptable
value for the distance between the orifice plate and the downstream end of the 19-tube bundle flow straightener.
It is not possible to find an acceptable location for a 19-tube bundle flow straightener (1998) downstream of the particular fitting for all values of Lf to
which the column applies.
If =0.46 a value of 9.5 is possible.
if =0.54 a value of 13 is possible.

BOLT TORQUE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Bolt Torque tables are to be used for reference only, as each installation
must be checked for leaks and tightened as necessary.
The torque required to produce adaquate bolt stress is a function of many
parameters, including but not limited to:
Diameter of bolt
Type and # of threads of bolt
Material of bolt
Gasket type
Condition of nut bearing surfaces
Lubrication of bolt threads and nut bearing surfaces
The following tables are typical torque recommendations by Emerson Gasket
