Main Features:

• Easy Installation: Orifice Plates are easy to install, making integration into existing systems simple and efficient.
• Low Cost: They are an economical option for precise flow measurements, ideal for optimizing project budgets.
• High Accuracy: They offer high precision in flow measurement, ensuring reliable results.
  
  

Operation: Orifice Plates consist of metal plates with accurately sized holes. These plates are installed perpendicular to the axis of the pipeline, resulting in a change in the fluid flow profile, causing a variation in pressure. This pressure variation is then measured and converted into flow. This operating principle is based on the continuity and Bernoulli's equations.
