IOS6 Integral Orifice System

  • Reliability is greatly enhanced with the presence of a tell-tale system of vent valves that detect leakage around the orifice or bypass valve
  • The removable orifice carrier allows convenient servicing of the orifice and seals without disturbing the piping
  • Unimount design mounts directly to a 2" pipe stand permitting servicing or removal of the transmitter without disturbing flow or piping
  • Can be mounted directly in-line
  • Slotted hex handles discourage tampering but operate with a simple 90º turn
  • Adjustable packing nut stops interport and stem leakage
  • Large 5/16" straight-thru, roddable porting
The D/A Integral Orifice System, model IOS6 is a complete mounting, metering and manifold system that accepts any standard DP transmitter and utilizes the standard Foxboro orifices. This unique system was designed around recommendations from customers experiencing problems with other integral orifice systems.
