Orifice:
In the neck, velocity increases (kinetic E increases) and
pressure decreases (potential E decreases)

These are factors, which have been developed by
experiments
The blockage factor is from Re=8000 constant
C is a function of Reynolds (Re) and depend on flow
exampel:
orifice; DN 200; ß=0,5 deltaflow, DN200
Re=100.000, C=0,6056 Re=100.000, =2,4093
Re=1.000.000, C=0,6032 Re=1.000.000, =2,4093
Error in C= 0,4% Error in =0,0%
For big flow spans, the Re-impact on C must be compensated!

• In most cases neck and parts outside of the pipe can be made of
standard SS316 (1.4571) also when profile is made of special material
• Material of weld-in stud should be equal or similar to pipe material
