Abstract (en)

In one embodiment, the orifice plate (20) is mounted by thermally expanding the length thereof to a predetermined amount and then allowing the orifice plate (20) to thermally contract while maintaining its expanded length so that the orifice plate is maintained in tension between its opposing ends. In an alternative embodiment, a tensioning apparatus (100) is used to place the orifice plate (20) under tension prior to its being clamped into position.
