Orifice Calculation

The document provides information on sizing orifice plates for liquid and gas flow. For liquid flow, it lists input data needed like flow rate, fluid specific gravity, pipe inner diameter, and desired pressure drop to calculate the required orifice diameter. For gas flow, it lists similar input data along with using a solver to vary the pressure ratio until the calculated and desired pressure drops are equal to determine the proper orifice size.
