Introduction
Restriction orifice is a flow metering device based on Bernoulli’s
principle that states that flow rate was proportional to the square
root of pressure drop.
Restriction orifice (RO) is mainly used to achieve controlled or
restricted flow of a process medium. The orifice offers a
restriction to the process flow and the pressure head drops from
the upstream to the downstream.
Introduction
• KLM Technology Group Restriction orifice
program assists in calculating Restriction
Orifice Plate sizing at certain pressure and
temperature which is essential in the process
industries.
• This program considers:
Perform Calculations
• Calculate either Orifice size, Flow rate or Discharge pressure
• Calculate the beta ratio
• Calculate the Reynold number
• Calculate the maximum power loss
• Calculate the minimum plate thickness
• Supply fluid properties at flow conditions
• Supply pipe sizes
• Supply element and pipe material
• Use English or SI engineering units in any mixture
• Use mass or volume flow units
• Import process data
• Print a calculation sheet
• Save the data

and enter the mixture values
Material Selection
• Material selection is also considered to sizing
restriction orifice. It effects the thermal expansion
factor of element value.
1. Click the Element material to display the materials
screen.
2. Select the required material on the materials screen.
3. Repeat for the Pipe material.
Input Data
The options selected enable the input boxes of the data required for the calculation.
As example, the enable input for orifice size calculation :
1. Enter normal liquid flow
2. Enter flow temperature
3. Enter inlet and discharge pressure
4. Select desired fluid properties select either Manual Input data, Pure Liquid or
Liquid Mixture
5. Select desired pipe inside diameter
6. Select desired element and pipe material
Filing and Moving On
• Program menu – It clears the calculation and returns to the main menu.
• New – It clears the screen for a new calculation.
• Save - It saves a new record if not previously saved or saves changes to an
existing record to database. It is also used for saving temporary data, thus,
the recorded data can be done printing calculation process.
• Export data – It saves input and output calculation record in *csv file.
• Import data – It opens *csv file record.
• Print calculation – It is enabled after calculation and save is made. It displays
the screen to print a calculation.
• Exit – It leaves the program
