The above curved graph shows pressure loss generated by the ORIPAC. For
12 20 116 6000
example, a 0.6 Beta Ratio (d/D) would show a loss of 62%. This is also shown
320 460 2050
on the linear graph area ratio (d/D)² =.38 with a loss of 62%.

As a quick check reference, use the formula:
16 20 206 2700
Headloss=1-Beta Ratio² eg: 1-.62² or 1 - .38 = 62% of the differential pressure.

The "TAPPED" TYPE FLANGED FLOW The "HOLDING RING" FLOW NOZZLE
NOZZLE is similar to the "FLANGE" style, style is designed so that the welding of
but includes a downstream tap (usually a dissimilar materials is eliminated, A
1/2" connection) provided in the flange special holding ring and locating pins are
of the nozzle. This style nozzle is made of the same material as the pipe
recommended in smaller line sizes that the nozzle Is to be installed in. This
where the downstream tap may allows for the nozzle to be offered in a

downstream mounting flange. recommended for line sizes below 4
