What is a Concentric Orifice Plate?
A Concentric Orifice Plate is a fundamental device used in fluid flow measurement systems. It comprises a flat, circular plate with a centrally located hole. When installed in a pipeline, this plate creates a restriction, causing a differential pressure drop that is proportional to the fluid’s flow rate. This design’s simplicity, reliability, and precision make it essential for various industrial applications, including chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation.
