Top Clamping Bar Gasket:

Seals easily by tightening square head
clamping bar screws. Non-Asbestos flat
gasket is easy to replace.

5 Lower Chamber Cover Seal

Standard HNBR O-Ring.

9 Seat to Upper Chamber Seal

Standard HNBR O-Ring.

6 Flange Taps
Standard 1/2 NPT connections.

Upper Chamber Cover Seal

Standard HNBR O-Ring.

Upper to Lower Chamber Seal

Standard HNBR O-Ring.

Plug Shaft Seal

Plug shaft seals consist of teflon rings. Shaft
packing adjustment is achieved by turning the
two gland bolts located on each shaft evenly.
This configuration provides smooth shaft
operation.

10 Equalizer & Bleed Valves

Standard 1/2 NPT equalizer and bleed
valves provide reliable fitting operation.

Orifice Plate Seal

The orifice plate seal is HNBR material bonded to a stainless steel metal insert.
This insert retains seal shape, ensuring no protrusion into the bore.
The Sure Shot Seal Ring design provides a positive seal against the orifice
plate and the upstream fitting seat. This conforms to AGA 3/API 14.3 and
ISO-5167 requirements.

Eccentric Plug
The use of the eccentric plug provides a
bubble tight seal, fewer parts and less
maintenance.

TMCo, Inc.

Gear shaft seals consist of teflon rings. Shaft

packing adjustment is achieved by turning the
two gland bolts located on each shaft evenly.
This configuration provides smooth shaft
operation.

Sure Shot Dual Chamber Orifice fittings fully conform to the latest AGA 3/API 14.3 stringent requirements. They require
no added uncertainty and provide accurate performance over the orifice plate beta ratio range from 0.1 to 0.75 within
0.5% flow accuracy to theoretical value.
AGA 3/API 14.3 Requirements
Concentricity Requirements
The latest AGA 3/API 14.3 has significantly more stringent concentricity requirements. The Sure Shot fittings unique plate
centering guarantees minimum eccentricity without cumbersome trial and error.
Three point plate carrier locating pins ensure repeatable and accurate centering. These pins are factory set.
Protrusion & Recesses
Seal recesses must meet much tighter specifications with no protrusions in the fitting bore. If these requirements are not met,
limitations may be required on maximum beta ratio and/or additional uncertainty must be added.
If A is less than 0.25 there are no restrictions placed on the seal ring recesses.
The Sure Shot Gap is less than 0.25 on both sides of the orifice plate. Therefore, No Restriction and No Additional Uncertainty need be added.
Fitting Pressure Ratings:
ANSI Class 150 (285 PSI CWP)
ANSI Class 300 (740 PSI CWP)
ANSI Class 600 (1480 PSI CWP)
Note: Consult factory for higher ANSI ratings.

Bore Diameter & Finish

Bore diameter tolerance and finish meet or exceed API 14.3 requirements.

Unique Standard Feature

Safety Lock
Special spring loaded
plunger locks eccentric plug in closed
position to help prevent accidental
opening while upper chamber is open.
The Safety Lock also provides precise
open and closed positioning of plug.
The Safety Lock indicates proper carrier
location when lock is in closed
position.

Standard Materials of Construction:

Body Material - A-216 WCB / WCC
Note: Consult factory for any other fitting body
material.
Flange Ratings ANSI Class 150 to ANSI Class
600 inclusive.
Fitting End Connections F x W, W x W, F x F
Note: RTJ Flange facing available upon request.
Conforms to the following industry standards:
AGA 3/API 14.3, ISO-5167
ANSI B31.3, MSS SP-55, ANSI B16.5
Sure Shot fittings available for
