Damiano resides in Modena, Italy. The proper performance of a hydraulic system is usually attributed to major components such as the motor, pump and valves. On all other plates, the handle is welded to the plate as standard; one-piece construction is available as an option. Plate thicknesses depend on line size and differential pressure, and should be sufficient to prevent the plate from bending under operating conditions. Picture are owned by http://www.emerson.com/. 
Paddle Orifice Plates are used with raised-face orifice flanges for measurement applications and installed between standard ASME flanges for restriction applications. Rather, the orifice is sized to the application. Eccentrically bored orifice plates are plates with the orifice off-center, or eccentric, as opposed to concentric. The radius of the quartercircle bore is a function of the orifice-to-pipe ratio (d/D). To reduce your contamination risks you may want to install two or more orifices in series. Posted by

The orifice is one of the most versatile components that we can add in our hydraulic circuit. 
RTJ type orifice plates can be supplied complete with ANSI B16.36 orifice flanges. While passing the fluid through thick plate energy is lost in friction and heat resulting considerable pressure drop.
However, there is another unsung component that contributes equally to a system's overall performance: View/Download Proportional Motor Control Circuit graphic as: Another thing to consider when applying an orifice is that the size of orifice is not always directly related to the size of the valves. 
Quick calculation tool in MS Excel format: combine pressure control valve and flow regulator. The circular portion of the bore is inscribed within a circle which is normally 98% of the pipe diameter. The segmental opening may be placed either at the top or bottom of the pipe. Thickness at the throat is equal to the radius.

In a system where the flow rate needs to be decreased for the sake of dumping oil from a compensator in a controlled manner (think a flow rate of 5 lpm to 1.5 lpm) you might need an orifice disc smaller than 0.5 mm. Unless otherwise specified, plates will be beveled to the current accepted standards. Restriction Orifice Segmentally bored orifice plates are provided for measurement where solids are entrained in a gas or liquid flow stream. Click Hereto seethe latest HydraForce News. From the formulas and data within these publications, the relationships and values of flow, differential pressure, and plate bore are determined. I must be old. Load Sensing,

By using two larger diameter orifices in series you can achieve the same equivalent restriction as a single, smaller diameter orifice.
To ensure correct sealing when installed between flanges, the hardness of the carrier ring/gasket material is limited to a maximum value, typically 120 for soft iron rings and 160 for Stainless Steel Rings.
This bore is specifically designed for viscous fluids such as heavy crudes, syrups, and slurries with Reynolds Numbers below 100,000. In torturous applications, mimicking the design of measurement orifices is not sufficient. Instead of beveling, the plate is counterbored to the desired edge thickness. .png)
It is similar to an orifice plate but is thicker. The quadrant edge bore is an orifice with the inlet edge rounded. Rather, the orifice is sized to the application. 
An Orifice Plate is used to measure flow, while a Restriction Orifice is used to drop upstream pressure of a system. GoogleAnalytics. Contact Damiano, Tags:
While there really is no way to know which size orifice will give you the best performance without performing some tests, one thing to keep in mind is this: the smaller the orifice the more susceptible it will be to contamination. Without the orifice, any time the spool of your PV (proportional flow control valve) moved, the oil would dump from the spring chamber, creating instability. The use of a fixed restriction orifice can be beneficial and economic by reducing the demands on other flow system components. Dimensions of 
For the common square edge concentric bore orifice, the bore and bevel is the standard method of limiting the plate edge thickness. In this circuit, the orifice maintains oil inside the spring chambers of the valves. The orifice can be used to limit the amount of oil in one part of our system, to bleed a pressure line to tank, or to transform a nervous and aggressive circuit into an efficient and highly controlled one. Orifice Plates are normally mounted between a set of Orifice Flanges and are installed in a straight run of smooth pipe to avoid disturbance of flow patterns from fittings and Valves. In a system where the flow rate needs to be decreased for the sake of dumping oil from a compensator in a controlled manner (think a flow rate of 5 lpm to 1.5 lpm) you might need an orifice disc smaller than 0.5 mm. The circuit below shows an orifice being used to dampen a load sensing signal to an EPFR(combine pressure control valve and flow regulator). Square Edge Orifice Often times the orifice has to simultaneously manage a very small amount of oil, control a dynamic flow rate and dump a systems compensator. Plates for ASMEB16.5 RF Flanges, Werner Slken 2008 - hydraulic integrated circuit,
Eccentric orifice plates are used in many industries including heavy and light chemicals, steel, paper, nuclear and petrochemicals. Orifice plates can be made in accordance with customer drawings as required. Unlike measurement orifices, the sizing and design of restriction orifices are not defined by standardization organizations. While there really is no way to know which size orifice will give you the best performance without performing some tests, one thing to keep in mind is this: the smaller the orifice the more susceptible it will be to contamination. Fortunately, the orifice restricts the flow path to the EPFR; thereby creating an oil cushion inside the spring chamber of the PV that prevents overshoot and instability. I still believe in respect. The plate and handle are a one-piece seamless design on 1/8-in. The flange ASME class and other standard information is stamped on the handle. Standard material grades for orifice plates include 316 Stainless Steel, 304 Stainless Steel, 310 Stainless Steel, Hastelloy C276, Hastelloy B3, Duplex Stainless Steel, Super Duplex Stainless Steel, Monel 400, Carbon Steel, Titanium, Incoloy 800, Incoloy 825, Inconel 600 and Inconel 625. Orifice plates are one of the most popular devices for the measurement and control of fluid flow. In many applications -- especially for hydrostatic transmissions -- it is important to control the dynamic pressure of the system to avoid pressure spikes and pressure ripple. The RTJ type orifice plate incorporates an integral gasket, either oval or octagonal ring, for mounting between ring type joint flanges. It is based on proven technology, has no moving parts and is suitable for high temperature and pressure applications. Additionally, restriction orifices, abbreviated "RO", are often exposed to severe flow conditions associated with large pressure reductions and the related fluid conditions caused by liquids flashing to a gas, cavitation, and sonic (choked) flow. In flow control applications, orifice plates are used as restriction devices to regulate fluid flow or reduce the flowing pressure downstream of the orifice plate. The bore of the eccentric orifice normally is inscribed in a circle which is 98% of the pipe diameter, so that solids or slurries may pass through.
RTJ type orifice plates may be machined in one piece, or alternatively from two pieces, with an orifice plate screwed onto a carrier ring/gasket.
