X52E
Orifice Plate Assembly
• Wafer Design
• Fits ANSI 125, 150, 250, 300
• Optional Materials Available
• Easy to use size Selection Chart
The Cla-Val Model X52E Orifice Plate Assembly is typically used with
Cla-Val flow control valves. The orifice plate is an essential component
used to generate a specific, predictable pressure drop in the system.
The X52E uses a wafer design holder which offers a compact light-
weight assembly that is easy to install. The X52E has a Chamfered
"Inlet" side so even after installation, correct orientation can be easily
verified.

The orifice plate portion of the assembly is made of 302 stainless steel
with other materials options also available. The plate is machined to a
recommended "square edge". The plate holder portion of the assembly
is Ductile Iron standard. Fusion-bonded epoxy coating is an option. The
holder may be made of other materials.
Selecting an orifice plate bore size is made by using charts provided.

We recommend installation of this assembly with the sensing port to the

side of the pipeline to prevent air pockets and obstructions in the sens-
ing line. Installation adjacent to a butterfly valve is not recommended as
the orifice plate assembly may interfere with the opening of this type of
valve.

Sizing An Orifice Plate Bore: Example

1. In determining a bore size, the nominal flow rate (or range of flow) and the pipe size in which the orifice plate assembly will
be installed must be known.
2. Sizing a bore for:
A constant flow rate:
Select the sizing chart that matches pipe size and locate the flow rate under the nominal column which is closest to
required flow; select the corresponding bore size dimension.

6" Valve / Pipe Size

Example: Bore Flow - gpm
Size Min. Max. Nominal
A 6" pipe with a desired constant flow of 700 gpm.
Using the 6" chart, the closest flow in the nominal 4.60 490 1960 1100
column is 670 gpm which has a corresponding bore 4.40 435 1740 980
size of 3.80". 4.20 380 1520 850
4.00 330 1320 750
3.80 300 1200 670
3.60 265 1060 590
3.40 230 920 520
3.20 200 800 450
3.00 175 700 395
2.80 150 600 340
2.60 130 520 295
2.40 110 440 245
A flow range:
Select the sizing chart that matches pipe size and locate required flow range between the minimum and maximum limits of an
orifice bore. Frequently the flow range will fit between more than one bore size. To resolve this, decide the flow rate that
system will be operated at most frequently. Locate the flow which is closest to this under the nominal flow column, and
select the corresponding bore size dimension.

6" Valve / Pipe Size

Bore Flow - gpm
Example: Size Min. Max. Nominal
A 6" pipe with a flow range of 300-1000 gpm. Using 4.60 490 1960 1100
the 6" chart, more than one bore size can accom- 4.40 435 1740 980
modate this range. The most frequent flow rate will 4.20 380 1520 850
be 500 gpm. Using the nominal flow column, the 4.00 330 1320 750
closest flow is 520 gpm which has a corresponding
3.80 300 1200 670
bore size of 3.40"
