The Orifice plate is differential pressure flow measurement device. An orifice is simply a smooth disc with a round, sharp-edged inflow aperture and mounting rings. Principle: When an orifice plate is placed in a pipeline carrying fluid, the orifice plate is installed perpendicular to the flow of the fluid to be measured. As all DP flowmeters, …
Introduction Orifice plates are mainly used for flow measurements. The orifice consists of a flat plate with a hole drilled in it. When a fluid passesthrough an orifice, the discharge is often considerably less than the amount calculated on the assumption that the energy is conserved and that the flow through the orifice is uniform and parallel.There are different types of orifice plates used for different fluids/process. This reduction in flow is normally due to a contraction of the stream which takes place …
Orifice Meter An orifice meter is a type of flow meter that measures the rate of flow through a pipe by inserting an orifice plate between two pipe flanges and setting up a proper pressure connection. The Venturi meter and the Orifice meter both operate on the same principles. What is the principle of Orifice …
What is orifice meter and what is the use of orifice meter An orifice meter is a device that can measure the flow rate in a pipe by using an orifice plate. It can measure volumetric flow rates, this measuring device operates on the same principle as venturi meter which is Bernoulli’s principle and the …

Orifice and venturi meter: Orifice and venturi meter works under the same principle, both meters creates a restriction in the flow channel and the pressure difference across the restriction is measured, which is proportional to the rate of discharge of flowing fluid through the pipeline. Advantages and disadvantages of Orifice and venturi meter are listed …

What is a DP transmitter? Differential pressure is represented by “DP”. The difference in pressure between two points in a process is measured by a DP transmitter, which then translates the data into a standard output signal (often 4-20 mA) for processing or transmission to a control system. DP transmitters generally include two pressure sensing …

What is 3 Element Control? Boilers in power plants that encounter quick and wide-ranging load variations need three-element control. Control with three elements is quite similar to control with two elements, with the exception that the water flow loop is closed rather than open. In order to determine the feedwater flow’s index or set point, …
Who is an instrument technician? A person who works as an instrumentation technician should be able to test, maintain, and fix instruments that are used to record and report data. The majority of instrumentation technicians work for manufacturing facilities, ensuring that machinery is functioning correctly, safely, and effectively. An instrumentation technician will test, calibrate, install, …
