Application

N/A

  • Precision Flow Control – Gases or Liquids
  • Speed Controls – Cylinders and Actuators
  • Accurate Timing in Pneumatic or Hydraulic Circuits
  • Flow Restriction
  • Accurate Throttling
  • Snubbers - Gages and Instruments
  • Ultrasonic Sound Sources

Advantages

N/A

  • High Pressure Capability
  • Bi-directional Flow Compatibility
  • Economical Precision Orifice
  • Repeatable Orifice Size and Shape
  • Predictable Flow Rate

Air Flow Notes

Air Flow Notes

 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

Water Flow Notes

 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.
