Flange plates control the flow of fluid between fluid handling devices. In one embodiment, a sealing plate includes an O-ring and a structural support ring disposed within the O-ring. The support ring prevents the O-ring from being dislodged due to fluid pressure in the line. The support ring may have chamfers which aid in centering the O-ring. The support ring may also have a plurality of orifices allowing fluid flow between the interior of the support ring and the O-ring. In another embodiment, a blanking plate includes a domed portion, oriented in a direction towards the fluid being contained. The domed portion imparts strength to the blanking plate, allowing the plate to be made of a thinner piece of material. In another embodiment, an orifice plate includes a domed portion as described above, with an orifice located at the center of the dome. The invention also provides sealing plates which provide structural support for slip-in fluid modules, and which also have central bores which transition from one diameter to another, allowing fluid components having ports of differing diameters to be connected together.

1. Apparatus for providing an interface between a fluid port and a fluid handling component, comprising:a one-piece sealing plate, the sealing plate including a central bore, the sealing plate also including a plurality of bolt holes, the sealing plate having a first side and a second side,wherein the central bore transitions smoothly from a larger diameter portion to a smaller diameter portion, wherein substantially all of the central bore comprises a flow path for fluid,a flange body defining a housing for a fluid handling component, the flange body and the sealing plate having planar surfaces which directly abut each other along the second side of the sealing plate, the sealing plate being an unbroken material except at said central bore, the flange body having an internal bore which fully encloses a seal, the seal having a diameter greater than said smaller diameter portion of said central bore of said sealing plate, the seal being in contact with the sealing plate without preventing the sealing plate and the flange body from directly contacting each other,wherein the sealing plate comprises a structural support for the fluid handling component. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein there are four bolt holes disposed symmetrically around the central bore. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fluid handling component has a component diameter, and wherein the diameter of the smaller diameter portion of the central bore of the sealing plate generally equals the component diameter. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sealing plate includes at least one face seal. 5. Apparatus for providing an interface between a fluid port and a fluid handling component, comprising:a one-piece sealing plate, the sealing plate including a central bore, the sealing plate also including a plurality of bolt holes, the sealing plate having a first side and a second side,wherein the central bore transitions smoothly from a larger diameter portion to a smaller diameter portion, wherein substantially all of the central bore comprises a flow path for fluid,a flange body defining a housing for a fluid handling component, the flange body and the sealing plate having planar surfaces which abut each other along the second side of the sealing plate, the sealing plate being an unbroken material except at said central bore,wherein the sealing plate comprises a structural support for the fluid handling component,wherein the fluid handling component has a component diameter, and wherein the diameter of the smaller diameter portion of the central bore of the sealing plate generally equals the component diameter.
