Restriction Orifice Unions
One-piece stainless steel orifice plates shaped to the union seat, ball to cone, so no gaskets are needed. Precision CNC machined, simple to use, and easy to troubleshoot. Need the bore sized? Our engineers will calculate it for you.
*6,000 PSIG available on request.
Need a Bore Calculation? We'll Run It.
A restriction orifice only controls flow as well as its bore is sized. Send us your process data and our staff engineers will calculate the correct bore size, quickly and accurately, for a small fee. Then we bore the union plate to match.
