Restriction Orifices

Orifices: dimensioned according to the fluid, the pressure drop or the flow to be achieved going through the restriction. Plate thickness: calculated taking into account the pressure drop generated by the plate and the diameter of the pipework in order to avoid a deformation of the plate. For more details, see our Frequently Asked Questions. Noise: the number of orifices is determined according to the level of noise not to be exceeded. The maximum noise level depends on the operating conditions: limited to 85 dB(A) by the regulatory body for an average daily exposure in continuous operation. Intermittent or emergency operation - acceptable upper values ​​(see corresponding regulations). If the noise level is still too high, it is possible to switch to a multi-stage restriction orifice. Cavitation: the cavitation level is checked for each plate and the orifices are calculated to avoid cavitation. For more information on cavitation, see our Frequently Asked Questions.

Orifice diameter: dimensioned according to the fluid, to the pressure drop to be achieved and to the flow going through the restriction. Plate thickness: calculated taking into account the pressure drop generated by the plate and the diameter of the pipework to prevent plate deformation. See more details in our Frequently Asked Questions. Noise: control of the estimated noise level at 1 m. In case of high noise level, refer to the multi-hole plate. Cavitation: The cavitation level is checked for each plate. In the presence of cavitation, a multi-stage restriction orifice alternative may be proposed depending on the operating conditions of the restriction. For more information on cavitation, see our Frequently Asked Questions. Critical flow or choked flow: if the fluid reaches its maximum speed when passing the restriction, its flow can not increase. A multistage solution can be proposed depending on the operating conditions of the restriction. For more information on critical flow

A flow indicator or flow monitor makes it possible to visually observe the passage of a fluid. It is therefore equipped with a transparent window to visualize the flowing fluid. In the case of transparent fluids, it is also equipped with fins that can be seen rotating in the presence of a flow.

The flanges on the measuring elements and the piping allow easy assembly and disassembly unlike the welded assembly. Different types of flanges are available to meet all standards, all requirements in all areas of activity. Orifice flanges : They are used for flow measurement with orifice plates. They allow, thanks to the integrated pressure taps, to recover high and low pressure (Δp).
