Single hole restriction orifice

Simple and economical solution

GENERAL DATA

Standards: Element based on R.W. MILLER or ISO 5167.
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. MORE DETAILS (FAQs)

Noise: control of the estimated noise level at 1 m. In case of high noise level, refer to the multi-hole plate.

Cavitation: For liquids, 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. LEARN MORE

Critical regime (choked flow or choking cavitation) : 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. NEED MORE EXPLANATIONS?

What is the purpose of a restriction orifice?

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.

How to choose a singe-hole or multi-hole restriction orifice?

Depending on the flowrate and the flow conditions in the pressure reducer, the noise level of the fluid when passing through the restriction may be beyond the permitted standards. Thus, the multi-hole orifice plate allows the noise level to drop while maintaining the same pressure reduction properties.
