  orificeplate orifice plate meter run cheap flow meter
Orifice plates are in common use in many installations.
Orifice plate is used for flow rate measuring in pipe systems.
Probably the most widely used differential pressure device is the orifice plate, the characteristics of which as a flow measurement device have been researched for over a 100 years, leading to the publication of many national and international standards.

 Orifice plates from Wyatt Engineering
The bore of the eccentric orifice is practically tangent to the inside diameter of the adjacent pipe.
Like the segmental orifice plate, the bore can be placed at the top or bottom of the pipe and this design is relatively common in the chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and petrochemical industries.
The orifice plate thickness is chosen to limit plate deformation by taking into account the magnitude of the differential pressure and other defined stresses.

 Orifice Meter Publications
Orifice plates are known to be sensitive to a variety of effects due to dimensional variations and flowing fluid conditions.
The primary element of the orifice meter is the orifice plate and orifice meter tube consisting of the orifice fitting, or flanged pressure taps, adjacent piping and the flow conditioner or straightening vanes.
Twelve different orifice plates with diameter ratios (Beta ratios) from 0.25 to 0.54 were calibrated in 76mm (3") and 102 mm (4") pipe using flange taps.

 Orifice plate seal ring - Patent 4593915   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Because the orifice plate is subject to wear by impacting of sand, line scale and other foreign particles in the flowing gas stream, it must be replaced at frequent intervals to ensure accuracy in measurement.
Conventionally, the orifice plate is positioned within the body of the fitting across the flow passage with seals closely surrounding it to ensure that all gas flow is through the orifice.
The orifice carrier has an integral panhandle stem 56 which is pivoted at 58 on a crank arm 60 carried on a sealed rotatable shaft 62 with a squared end 64 for partial rotation as by means of a suitable wrench (not shown).

Flange taps are used with both types of plates, and are located in the quadrant opposite the opening for the eccentric orifice, in line with the maximum dam height for the segmental orifice.
Orifice plates are, however, quite sensitive to a variety of error-inducing conditions.

 Orifice Meter
The Orifice meter is one of the many devices used to measure the volume or mass flow rate of fluids flowing in a closed conduit (pipe).
This Orifice plate is thus installed into the pipe, sometimes using specialized "orifice plate changers" which conveniently hold the orifice plate in the pipe.
High accuracy Orifice Meter installations downstream of Elbows, Two Elbows in and out of plane, headers and tees are the norm due to the use of the CPA 50E Flow Conditioners with Orifice Plate meters.

 Orifice Meters for Water Flow Measurement
Orifice meters are usually circular orifices placed at the end of a horizontal discharge pipe as illustrated in Figure 1.
An orifice meter can be constructed from a pipe end-cap which has been properly drilled, if the discharge pipe is threaded to allow the end cap to be added for flow measurements or removed after its use.
The orifice meter is very accurate because of the sensitivity of the water manometer, and, because of the absence of moving parts or the need for calibration, it is often used as a means of calibrating other flow-measuring devices.

 Orifice plate - Psychology Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
An orifice plate is basically a thin plate with a hole in the middle.
When the fluid reaches the orifice plate, with the hole in the middle, the fluid is forced to converge to go through the small hole; the point of maximum convergence is actually just after the physical orifice, at the so-called "vena contracta" point (see diagram).
Orifice plates are small and cheap to install, but impose a significant energy loss on the fluid due to friction.

 Orifice Plate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The orifice plate is the simplest of the flowpath restrictions used in flow detection, as well as the most economical.
Eccentric orifice plates shift the edge of the orifice to the inside of the pipe wall.  This design also prevents upstream damming and is used in the same way as the segmental orifice plate.
Orifice plates have two distinct disadvantages; they cause a high permanent pressure drop (outlet pressure will be 60% to 80% of inlet pressure), and they are subject to erosion, which will eventually cause inaccuracies in the measured differential pressure.
