    10.3 RESTRICTION ORIFICES 10.3.1 Construction It is recommended to use the square edge orifice, see (3.1.8). Construction and dimensions to match the type and size of flanges or fittings used; for the flanged construction, see (3.1.9) and for the union construction, see (10.3.9). 103.2 Application Simple device for creating a certain pressure drop or limiting a flow rate. Although not a device for measurement of flow, it has been incorporated because of similarity in the method of calculation. 103.3 Limitations ‘The minimum line size is 15 mm, the maximum line size is not limited, Differential pressure/upstream pressure for compressible fluids: dp/pi 3 0.25, ‘The recommended minimum 8 limit is 0.10, the maximum f is not critical. 103.4 Pressure tapings Tappings are not essential, although a line pressure indication upstream and downstream of the restriction orifice is recommended for checking of the behaviour of the device. 103.5 Discharge coefficient For 15 > D > 50 mm and 0.1 = 2 0.2: C = 0.6097 for liquids C = 0.519 for gas and steam, For D 2 50 mm and f = 0.2, sce the following table: a c a c a c a c 0.20 0.6097 030 0.6318 040 0.6634 50 0.7073 021 Osis 031 0.6345 oi 0.6673 os1 07125 022 06134 032 06373 042, oem 032 07179 023 0.6133 033 0.6403 043 0.6752 053 7234 024 0.6174 034 0.6433 oa 06793 054 0.7292 025 0.4196 035 6464 045; 0.6835 055 07351 026 0.6219 °036 0.6496 046 0.6881 056 oral 027 0.624. 037 0.6529 047 0.6927 037 07473 028 0.6267 038 0.6562 048 0.6974 058 0.7538 029 0.6293 039 0.6598 049 7022 059 0.7605 0.30 oss 040 0.6634 030 07073 060 7673 103.6 Expansion factor Use formula for square edge with flange tappings — [0.41 + 0.35 B4]-[(DP)/p]-[X/10P-K-! 131 103.7 Calculation Limitations, see (10.3.3) Sizing, according to the formula as for the square edge orifice with flange appings (31.10) except forthe values of C, see (10.3.5) and , see (10.3.6) Flow rate, according to the formula as described forthe square edge orifice with flange tappings, except for the values of C, see (10.3.5) and ¢, see (10.3.6) Steam correction factor F,, see (14.4) Uncertainty, see (13) This calculation method under (10.3.7) is also valid for the constructions with a union-type of orifice (10.3.9) 103.8 References ‘Fluid Meters, their Theory and Application, ASME (1959) Principle and Practice of Flow Meter Engineering, L.K.
