JSY-BK Conditioning Orifice Plate: Tappings, Principle and Technical Data

source:    date:2026-10-01

1. Purpose and features

The JSY-BK conditioning orifice plate measures the flow of gas, steam or liquid in pipelines, widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgical and power industries.

Designed and made to GB/T 2624-93 and verified to JJG 640-94, it needs no wet-flow calibration: wide application range, simple structure, low cost, stable performance, easy installation, use and maintenance.

2. Construction

Orifice plate construction and pressure tappings
Orifice plate construction and pressure tappings

Construction and tapping arrangements as shown above:

  • 1. D and D/2 (radius) tappings;
  • 2. Flange tappings;
  • 3. Corner (annular chamber) tappings.

3. Working principle

Installed in a circular pipe, the orifice forces the axial flow ν1 through the minimum section of the restriction, where mean velocity peaks at ν2, creating a differential pressure across the plate. Derived from Bernoulli's equation, the basic flow equation is:

qm = (C/√(1-β⁴)) · ε · (π/4) · d² · √(2·ΔP·ρ₁)  qv = qm/ρ₁

where qm, qv — mass flow (kg/s) and volume flow (m³/s); C — discharge coefficient; ε — expansibility factor; d — orifice bore, m; β — diameter ratio, β=d/D; ρ₁ — fluid density, kg/m³; ΔP — differential pressure, Pa.

4. Main technical data

4.1 Measuring range:

  • a. Bore range: 50–3200 mm (d ≥ 12.5 mm); wet-flow calibration required when DN < 50 mm or DN > 1200 mm;
  • b. Diameter ratio β = d/D: 0.20–0.75;
  • c. Nominal pressure (gauge): PN 0–16 MPa;
  • d. Plate material: stainless steel (1Cr18Ni9Ti) or others;
  • e. Annular chamber and flange material: per user requirement.

4.2 Model designation: a. JSY-BK (JSY — flow throttling device; BK — throttling element type); b. tapping form: -H — with annular chamber.

4.3 Supply scope: connection fittings to match the chosen tapping arrangement; constructions manufactured to user requirements.
