What is an integrated orifice?

According to ASME MFC-14M, an integrated orifice is a complete flow measuring device: it includes the primary measuring element (orifice plate), the special flanges, the corner pressure taps (0/0) and upstream and downstream straight lengths. It is designed to fit directly on small pipes up to DN 40.
