Abstract
This work aims to determine the impact of orifice plate deformation on the differential pressure at the high-pressure natural gas pipelines. The article focuses on the differences of the pressure values, velocity values and flow directions between deformed and undeformed orifice plate. The article contains deformation analysis of the orifice plate and CFD simulations of flowing natural gas through the orifice plates. CFD simulations contain basic models of the turbulence for both types of orifice plate. Whole research is based on the elimination of the negative influence of the deformation on the precise flow measuring of natural gas at the high-pressure pipelines.

Summary
Measurements with high accuracy play nowadays very important role. The increasing tendency of measuring accuracy is supported worldwide by the sale of large amounts of oil and natural gas, in which every small mistake in measurements is calculated by millions of cubic meters of fuel. This mistake means great financial loss for both, for seller or for buyer. In Slovakia and other European Union countries are mostly used pressure differential devices, turbine flowmeters and ultrasonic flowmeters for accurate measurement and verification flow in the high-pressure natural gas conduits (table 1).
