Air Flow Notes

N/A Standard Conditions 70°F, 14.7 psia
SCFH – Standard Cu. Ft. Per Hour
SLPM – Standard Liters Per Minute
The Metal Orifice Air Flow data obtained with Type B restrictor.
Flow rates for other metal restrictors are essentially the same as for Type B.
The Metal Orifice Air Flow data supercedes previous publications.

Water Flow Notes

N/A The Metal Orifice Water Flow data calculated based on the Cv for each orifice. Flow = Cv √ΔP. ΔP = differential pressure in psid. It is assumed that the region on either side of the orifice is fully flooded with no air pockets.
