Orifice Plate
The Orifice Plate is a simple and reliable device used for flow measurement and pressure reduction in pipelines. It operates on the principle of differential pressure, where a restriction in the pipe (the orifice) causes a pressure drop, which is proportional to the flow rate. Widely used across industries, it is a cost-effective and robust solution for measuring flow in liquids, gases, and steam.
