Line Orifices

The line orifice from Stainless Products provides a 3-A sanitary and fully-drainable means of adjusting your process flow rate, balancing backflow, equalizing pressure, and recovering more of your valuable product.

In a hygienic processing system, when product reaches the orifice plate, it’s forced through the hole and converges. As the fluid converges, the pressure and velocity change - increased velocity means a decreased pressure. This reduction in pressure can be useful for a variety of purposes.

Applications

• For pharmaceutical and biotech applications we offer heat traceability. 20Ra ID (SF1) and 15Ra EP ID (SF4).

• Clean-In-Place (CIP) applications where the pressure is necessary to create the turbulence required for cleaning.

• Check excess flow from the system header

• Decrease the pressure to a piece of equipment that may not handle the full system pressure.

• Provide the required backflow to prevent the pump from causing cavitation, starvation, and pump motor overload and kick out.

Line Orifice - SP484

The SP484 fixed flow orifice is made to order, and our in-house machining and polishing capabilities allow us to deliver with quality surface finishes (20 Ra is standard).
