Orifice Flow Meters

Restriction Orifice (Pressure-Reducing Orifice) Restriction Orifice

MODEL : DHRO-SH / DHRO-MH / DHRO-MS
An orifice used not for flow measurement but to reduce fluid pressure. Available as single hole (DHRO-SH), multi-hole plate (DHRO-MH) and multi-stage (DHRO-MS) types — the latter with several orifice plates welded together for high-pressure, high-temperature fluids — and the bore edge can be surface-hardened by Stellite welding or nitriding.

Product Overview

Restriction Orifice (Pressure-Reducing Orifice)

Restriction Orifice DHRO-MH (multi-hole plate)
DHRO-SHDHRO-MHDHRO-MS

Restriction orifices are used to reduce fluid pressure and are designed somewhat differently from orifice plates for flow measurement.

Restriction orifices come in several types: a plate with a single hole, a multi-hole plate with several distributed holes, and a multi-stage orifice (Multistage Orifice) with several orifice plates welded together for high-pressure, high-temperature fluids.

The bore edge of a restriction orifice can be surface-hardened by Stellite (Stellite) welding or nitriding (Nitrification).

English description

The restriction orifices are used for reducing fluid pressure and are designed somewhat different the orifice plates that are used for measuring flow rates. There are some types of restriction orifices, including a single plate with a single hole, a single perforated plate (having diffused holes), and a set of welded multi orifices (a multistage orifice) which are used for high-pressure high-temperature fluids. The bore edge of the restriction orifices can be surface-hardened with stellite welding or by nitrification.
