Our 1-piece RocketPlates can be fabricated with or without a hard coating on the orifice ID. Bare metal plates are ideal for non-abrasive fluids, while hard coatings are applied to plates going into abrasive slurries with larger orifice diameters. RocketPlates can be coated with any welded hard overlay, such as Stellite 6, Tungsten Carbide (applied via ‘PTA’), Chrome Carbide, Eutectic Coatings, Etc. These materials are applied to the orifice ID and onto the upstream and downstream faces.
If the process media contains solids (i.e. slurry), RocketPlates are manufactured with super-hard materials for extreme abrasion resistance for the most severe services. Our 3-piece RocketPlate designs use sintered carbide discs, which are sandwiched within the plates. RocketPlates fabricated from a single piece of material (typically designed to larger orifice diameters) incorporate a wear resistant overlay to maximize service life (ex: Stellite, Tungsten carbide, Chrome carbide, etc).

RocketPlates are available for 3 to 72 inch pipe diameters. The above examples are generic ANSI 150 orifice plates, shown to scale.
