Calculation of Orifice Plate Diameter

The document provides equations and tables of information for calculating the diameter of an orifice plate given flow rate measurements. The key equation shown calculates flow rate (q) through an orifice plate based on upstream and downstream pressures, the orifice diameter, density of the fluid, and the discharge coefficient. Tables are included that provide density, specific weight, discharge coefficients, kinematic viscosity, and dynamic viscosity values for water at different temperatures to allow for use in the calculations.
