Restriction Orifice Sizing problem
Continuous process industries, DCS questions. topic
Posted by ME on 19 August, 2008 - 1:12 am
Dear All,

I'm having problems figuring out how to size restriction orifice plates. Actually what my basic requirement is to find the sizing parameters for a restriction orifice which would give me a permanent pressure drop of 3-4 bars across it.

The fluid is basically boiler feed water (de-min) at 33 bars.
The temperature is 115 deg centigrade.
The discharge line size of the pump is 2" and the pump is multistage-centrifugal type.

I'm not quite sure how to start with doing this... can you guys please guide me???

Best Regards,
Slevin
