Pressure Reduction
Description
(Single and Multistage Restriction Orifice)
These devices are designed to reduce the fluid pressure. The table here below summarizes typical applications and calculation criteria.
Accuracy (referred to the pressure drop): +/- 2% up to 1 1⁄2” ; +/- 1% for 2” and above)
Gas Service: multistage calculation is performed to avoid to have sound velocity in the vena
contracta section of each stage
Liquid Service: multistage calculation shall be carried out to avoid cavitation
