For Topside Flow Measurement
Restriction Orifice Plates are widely used for many applications within the industry. Although the design is very similar to an orifice plate, the function is different. Restriction plates are used to suit a number of different purposes including:
- Reduction of in line pressure
- Control flow rates by restricting flow, regardless of downstream conditions
Design Considerations
- Prevent critical flow
- Removal of cavitation
- Reduce noise levels
Solartron ISA provides complete Engineering support from initial restriction design and sizing concepts to manufactured final products. We offer a number of different restriction designs to suit the needs of your application including:
- Restriction Plates (Standard applications)
