Re: Reducing pressures with Orifice Plates

Thanks again admin, for your feedback. Regarding my original question about the use of k on these particular equations (this k is cp/cv, as you wrote before), you just pointed me in the right direction, because now I see it, in that Y equation you mentioned, but its symbol there is X, not k, that is...

Re: Reducing pressures with Orifice Plates

Thanks Admin, for the fast reply. And yes, I have tables of R and k values for gases, but what I was looking for, is to know in which specific formulas of this calculator are those factors being used because, as I wrote in my first post, they are not shown in the formulas of the "Theory" p...

Reducing pressures with Orifice Plates

Hi, We are installing two orifices, one on a CO2 line, one on argon line, but not for flow measurement, but rather to limit the flow in case the lines gets broken (thus generating a large pressure drop), but for the normal operating conditions, our flow is very small so the pressure drop thru the or...
