APC - Orifice Plate for Flow Measurement and Pressure Reduction
The Orifice Plate is a fundamental device used in pipelines to gauge flow rates and manage pressure reduction through differential pressure. The principle it operates on involves creating a restriction within the pipe, which results in a pressure drop directly correlated to the flow rate. It is particularly favored across various industries due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness. The Orifice Plate is apt for use with liquids, gases, and steam, offering a precise measurement within ±1% of the flow rate. The device can accommodate a size range from 1 to 24 inches and boasts a pressure rating of up to 150 bar. It is available in multiple material options including stainless steel (both SS304 and SS316), carbon steel, and brass. There are several configurations available, such as the Orifice Plate with Flange Assembly and the Integral Orifice Flange Assembly (SORF), adding versatility to its application.
The Orifice Plate is a simple and reliable device used for flow measurement and pressure reduction in pipelines. It operates on the principle of differential pressure, where a restriction in the pipe (the orifice) causes a pressure drop, which is proportional to the flow rate. Widely used across industries, it is a cost-effective and robust solution for measuring flow in liquids, gases, and steam.
