Can a flow-limiting orifice plate be installed vertically?

2007-12-10View Original

Thread Content

I would like to ask everyone: can a flow-limiting orifice plate be installed vertically? Is this orifice plate primarily used for limiting flow rate, rather than for measuring it? Thank you!

If there are no particles in the medium, it should be possible.

It’s possible; we have ones available for installation here

It can be installed vertically; I have encountered this in actual work. For example, in the sealing flushing lines of pump systems, flow control orifice plates are sometimes installed in a vertical orientation.

It can be installed vertically, but it is best for the flow to be from bottom to top.

It can be installed vertically. :P :lol

From the perspective of flow restriction principles, both vertical and horizontal installation are feasible!

Most of those I’ve seen before were installed horizontally. I’ve learned it, thank you!

I learned * today as well; in the past, I mostly saw them installed horizontally.

As long as the full flow of the medium can be confirmed, it is the same in both horizontal and vertical directions. . . :handshake

Most are installed horizontally, but they can certainly be installed vertically due to process constraints and other factors! ! ! :handshake :victory:

If the medium is a mixture of water vapor and water, can it be installed in a vertical pipe with flow from bottom to top?

It can be installed vertically; the flow of liquid is generally from bottom to top (it can also flow from top to bottom when the pipe is filled with liquid), while the flow of gas is generally from top to bottom.
