Abstract
This appendix explains how to perform the calculations for orifice plate design by
hand. For manual look-up of the orifice coefficient, S (given beta) or the diameter
ratio, beta (given S), the following eight figures are provided:

Orifice calculation sheets have been prepared for guidance through the orifice calcu-
lation steps. Calculation sheets filled in with appropriate examples are attached.
The four orifice calculation sheets are as follows:
• LIQUID, square-edge orifice, Form ICM-EF-59B (Figure B-9)
• LIQUID, quadrant-edge orifice, Form ICM-EF-59C (Figure B-10)
• GAS, square-edge orifice, Form ICM-EF-59D (Figure B-11)
• VAPOR/STEAM, square-edge orifice, Form ICM-EF-59E (Figure B-12)
Note that in these calculation sheets, the term "sharp edge" is used instead of
"square-edge."
Results of the hand calculations agree closely with the computer program ORIFICE.
The two types of calculations that can be performed are orifice sizing and orifice re-
ranging, except for quadrant-edge.
Select a plate thickness, look up values from Figure B-8, and calculate the
differential pressure h.
If h is too large, make plate thicker; if too small, make plate thinner, and repeat
calculation. h should equal about 100 inches of water.
The permissible range of Reynold’s numbers (at 1/3 full-scale flow) for a quad-
rant-edge orifice is a function of the beta ratio:
