Component Specifications

Definition
The Bypass Channel Orifice is a calibrated restriction device designed for installation within bypass lines of industrial fluid systems. It creates a controlled pressure drop to regulate flow rates, enable accurate flow measurement through differential pressure principles, and protect sensitive downstream components from excessive flow or pressure surges. Typically integrated with sensor tubes or bypass assemblies, this component ensures stable system operation by diverting and managing fluid flow around primary process equipment.
Working Principle
Operates on the principle of differential pressure measurement: as fluid passes through the precisely machined orifice, it creates a pressure drop proportional to the flow rate. This pressure difference is measured by sensors to calculate flow, while the orifice's fixed geometry provides consistent flow restriction for regulation and protection functions.

Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), Hastelloy, Monel, or carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coatings; rated for temperatures -40°C to 400°C and pressures up to 1000 psi.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a bypass channel orifice?

To regulate fluid flow in bypass lines, enable accurate flow measurement through differential pressure, and protect downstream equipment from flow surges.

Selection depends on required flow rate, pressure drop, fluid properties, and beta ratio (orifice to pipe diameter ratio), typically calculated using ISO 5167 standards.

What maintenance does a bypass orifice require?

Regular inspection for erosion/corrosion, cleaning to prevent clogging, and calibration verification to maintain measurement accuracy.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
