Orifice Plate Flow Calculation Spreadsheet
Orifice plate flow calculation is crucial for determining flow rates in piping systems. Our calculator simplifies this process.
- Enter pipe diameter, thickness, and pressure.
- Select fluid type.
- Click ‘Calculate’.
The calculation uses the following formula: Q = C * A * sqrt(2 * ΔP / ρ), where…
| Case | Diameter (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Pressure (Pa) | Fluid | Flow Rate (m³/s) |
|---|
| Property | Water | Diesel |
|---|---|---|
| Density (kg/m³) | 1000 | 820 |
- Always use accurate pressure values.
- Consider fluid properties at operating temperature.
What is the orifice plate coefficient (C)?
C is a dimensionless coefficient that depends on the geometry of the orifice plate and the fluid properties.
