Applications of orifice meter in industries?

What is an orifice meter?
A device for measuring the flow of a liquid.
Is there an equation that addresses how pressure psi affects flow cfm through a fixed orifice?
yes, the pressure is directly related to the effective force acting on the fluid body, so from the pressure differential you can compute the effective force on a small mass of fluid in the orifice, which can then be translated into a flux integral, which can be solved for Volume/time.
What is nozzle pressure?
Pressure build up due to restricted orifice.
How do you set the pressure in a sears pressure washer 580.752410?
Without getting overcomplicated, the amount of pressure coming from a pressure washer is a function of the amount of flow (gpm) and the resistance to that flow created by a nozzle. (more happens inside the pump but is not relevant to the poster's question. If you want a lower pressure, you would need to use a larger orifice nozzle. Larger orifice means less resistance and therefore less pressure. Professionals carry a large amount of nozzle sizes to vary the pressure for individual jobs. Note: The color of the nozzle does not indicate orifice size. The various colors, usually white, green, yellow and red, indicate the spray pattern. White being the broadest spray pattern and red being a very focused stream.
What is the difference between Restriction Orifice and Flow orifice or please explain the symbols RO Restriction orifice and FO Flow Orifice?
A restriction orifice (RO) is used to limit the flow through the pipe to a set flow by choking the flow at its sonic velocity. A flow orifice (FO) is usually used to determine the flow through the pipe from the pressure drop over the plate. There a normally two pressure taps (one on each side of the plate) and a pressure transmitter which determines the pressure drop over the plate. A formula is then used to convert this pressure drop to a flowrate for the specific fluid passing through the orifice. A FO usually has a temperature element to determine the gas temperature for use is the formula.
Why is the orifice plate called a variable head flow meter?
Because it relies on the back pressure through a known orifice which its differential pressure across the plate relates to flow.
What is orifice meter?
Orifice meter is a flow measuring device used for calculating the pressure drop,flow rate and behaviour of the fluid moving through the pipe.

What is the priciple of orifice flow meter?
An orifice flow meter is one of the simplest forms of flow meters. It is just a flat piece of metal installed in a pipe between flanges with a specific sized hole bored in the middle used to create pressure that can be detected by pressure taps on either side of the plate.
Does static pressure affect flow rate?
Static pressure certainly does affect flow rate. Static pressure can slow or speed up flow rate based on the liquid.
What is the calibration curve of orifice meter?
The calibration curve for an orifice meter will depend on the size of the orifice, the size of the pipe and the pressure loss over the meter. Typical calibration curves have pressure (or head) loss on the vertical (y) axis and flow rate on the horizontal (x) axis.

Difference between an orifice plate and a restriction orifice?
An orifice plate is a plat eused to measure flow. Pressure sensors are placed upstream and downstream of the the plate and hepressure differential is used with Bernoullis Equation t compute flow (including some experimental factors). A retriction plate is similar to an orifice plate but is much thicker. It is used to drop pressure upstream of a system. The convergence, throttlnig through thick section and divergece works the fluid and reduces total energy (transformed in firction, heat etc). This leads to an overall pressure reduction.

What is the working principle of orifice meter?
An obstruction (orifice) is placed in a pipe filled with fluid. The pressure of the fluid is measured at two different points: 1) just upstream of the orifice and, 2) close to the contraction of the fluid (vena contracta). The difference in these two pressures is known as differential pressure. The differential pressure across an obstruction (orifice) in a pipe of fluid is proportional to the square of the velocity of the fluid. Many factors associated with the pipe, orifice and fluid affect the measurement. Satisfactory measurement requires steady-state, homogeneous, turbulent flowing fluids. Other properties which affect the measurement include: the ratio of pipe diameter to orifice diameter and the density, temperature, compressibility and viscosity of the fluid.
Is there an equation that addresses how pressure psi affects flow cfm through a fixed orifice?
yes, the pressure is directly related to the effective force acting on the fluid body, so from the pressure differential you can compute the effective force on a small mass of fluid in the orifice, which can then be translated into a flux integral, which can be solved for Volume/time.
