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 plate is in the Indian Ocean between the Antarctic and Indo-Australian plates?
The proposed plate called the Capricorn Plate is a relatively rigid oceanic structure that was the westernmost part of the Indo-Australian Plate, which is now believed to exist as three separate smaller plates: the Indian Plate, the Australian Plate, and the Capricorn Plate.
What is the difference of plate and a saucer?
A plate is larger and something you eat food on. A saucer is smaller, normally used for a tea cup. And some people or cats drink from it.

For a parallel plate capacitor is The poynting vector points everywhere radially outward of the volume between plates.
What plate boundary is between African and South American plates?
A constructive plate margin or spreading centre known as the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge.
What is the similarity between volcanoes and earthquakes to plate tectonics?
Monkey Pants, YEAH
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.
What standard is used for manufacturing and sizing the restriction Orifice plate and integral orifice?
As per R.W.Miller's hand book for flow measurement -- Bhadek
How does a restriction orifice in a pipe work?
the orifice plate creates a restriction in the pipeline which creates a pressure drop across the plate. commonly found in high pressure relief systems or drain points (as this would usually be a HP/LP interface) and can also be used to measure flow, by measuring the pressure drop across the plate.
What is meant by the phrase Orifice Plate?
The phrase Orifice Plate is actually a device that measures either volume or mass flow rate. An Orifice Plate is a thin plate like device that has a hole in the middle.
Where is the governor on a Honda metropolitan?
check the exhaust and google 'restriction' The restriction plate is in between the carburetor and the air intake
What is the purpose of the vent and bleed hole in a orifice plate?
Bleed or Weep Holes are located at the elevational top or bottom of the Orifice Plate. The Weep Hole is tangent to a circle equal to 98% of the line I.D. DRAIN HOLES are located at the bottom of the Orifice Plate to prevent liquids in a gas or condensate in a steam flow from damming up behind the Orifice Plate. VENT HOLES are located at the top of the Orifice Plate to allow gases in a liquid flow to vent pass the Orifice Plate.
What is the difference between single plate clutch and multi plate clutch?
"What is the difference between single plate clutch and multi plate clutch?"
What does dr equals mean on a metal orifice plate?
Orifice size corrected to reference temperature.
At what distance from orifice plate vena contracta formed Can it be calculated?
generally vena contracta is formed at distance of d/2 from orifice where d is diameter of orifice.
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 the Application of orifice plate?
measures the rate of fluid flow
What is the difference between a plate and the lithosphere?
lithosphere is something that is under a plate. plate is the thing continents are on.
