A multi-orifice plate carrier for use in a modified orifice fitting and a differential pressure-operated, mechanical valve and piston system for vertically and horizontally adjusting the multi-orifice plate carrier to facilitate recordation of various line pressures on an appropriate recording meter. In a preferred embodiment two or more pressure recording meters are fitted with corresponding meter valves and a common pressure selector valve, along with a spring-loaded or fluid-operated plate piston connected to the multi-orifice plate carrier and a horizontal adjusting bar engaging the plate piston rod, to facilitate vertical adjustment of the multi-orifice plate carrier, horizontal shifting of the orifice plate carrier and resulting alignment of an orifice of selected diameter in the line bore of the orifice and reading of a corresponding recording meter responsive to automatic operation of the pressure selector valve and meter valves. Fully automatic vertical adjustment of the multi-orifice plate carrier may be effected by implementing a remote, radio-operated transceiving unit to actuate a pneumatic switching valve and actuate the pressure selector valve and plate piston.
