Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A tube assembly comprising first and second tubes connected by means of fittings welded to ends of the respective tubes. The fittings are placed adjacent to each other and then coupled using a clamp, thereby placing the first and second tubes in fluid communication. At least one of the fittings is an orifice fitting configured to restrict the flow of fluid. Each fitting is configured with at least one projection that assists a clamp to hold the fittings together. Preferably the projections are annular. In some embodiments, the orifice fitting comprises a cylindrical wall and a plate extending radially inward from the cylindrical wall and having a circular orifice. The orifice has a radius less than the inner radius of the tube assembly, so that flow will be restricted by the orifice.
