on them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles.

Orifice Plate Sizing
Please, can anyone tell me how to calculate the size of an orifice plate? I have a diameter for the SS pipe and flow rate in the pipe. What I need is how to calculate for the correct size of the orifice plate to use. This is just for a restriction orifice.
Urgently required, please.

You can likely find a number of simplied calculations on the internet. However, this may not be as simple a procedure as you may think. There are lots of varibles such as pressure drop, fluid type, wear, noise, etc. I suggest you contact someone who makes orifices and let them either size or help you size the correct device. We offer this service if you are interested.

The program FlowCalc32 can be used for <a href="http://controlengineering.se/flowcalc/flowcalceng.htm" >Orifice Plate Sizing</a>
There is a free trial download. The program is aimed at flow measurement orifices but you can iterate your calculations to size a RO.
