Simple and economical solution
GENERAL DATA
- Standards: Element based on ISO 5167, ASME MFC-3M or R.W. MILLER.
- Mounting between flanges: ISO PN 2,5 to PN 420, ASME 150 # to 2500 #, others on consultation.
- Material: Standard: 304L / 316L stainless steel, others according to your application.
- Fluid: liquid, gas, steam.
- Diameter of pipes: all sizes.
-
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, see our Frequently Asked Questions.

A restriction orifice is used to limit a flow rate or to reduce a pressure in a pipe. It advantageously replaces a simple valve: simpler, more economical, more robust and maintenance free.
This is a calibrated orifice placed in a pipe. It is calculated according to your technical specifications in order to reach the desired pressure or flow value while respecting the integrity of the plate and the piping.
