Questions regarding throttle orifice plates
Thread Content
When a fluid (liquid) passes through a throttle orifice plate, its flow velocity increases and its pressure decreases; is there any loss in flow rate? Like a decrease in traffic?
To understand this relationship, it is recommended to consult the book \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\", which is a foundational theoretical text for those working in chemical production. After reading it, you will also understand the relevant questions. It’s worth a try.
Of course, there will be some pressure loss, and the flow rate will also decrease! You see, with a flow control valve, different opening degrees result in different flow rates. So adding a orifice plate will definitely affect the flow rate
What is lost is the pressure drop; the flow rate remains unchanged. It is necessary to calculate the diameter of the pipeline behind the flow control orifice plate to determine whether an increase in diameter is required in order to maintain the flow rate

A few words were typed incorrectly in the previous reply: D
I also think that the flow rate won’t change; it’s only the pressure loss. The flow meter is a great example of this
The flow rate will remain unchanged, but it will be lower compared to when no throttle orifice plate is used
Flow rate is related to pressure difference and area; the more stages there are, the greater the resistance coefficient and the larger the pressure drop.
If the flow area of the throttle orifice plate remains unchanged, an increase in flow velocity will lead to an increase in flow rate; what is lost is the pressure drop.
