Multi-hole orifice plate
Multi-hole orifice plate for liquid, gas and steam flow measurement with accuracy of 1 % to 2 % depending on beta ratio and Reynolds number.

Depends on configuration
Description
Multi-hole orifice plates are variants of orifice plates like square edge, eccentric or segmental orifice plates. The main difference consists in the 4 bores radially displaced relative to the plate centre. The model FLC-MP requires only 2 diameters downstream and 2 diameters upstream. Due to this configuration the multi-hole orifice plates ensure a uniform flow of the medium. This enhances the accuracy of flow measurement and minimises disturbances in flow, offering high performance even in short upstream and downstream pipes.

- For requirements in short straight up- and downstreampipes
- Suitable for liquid, gas and steam flow measurement
- Compact version available
- Accuracy 1 % ... 2 % depending on beta ratio andReynolds number
