Thick-edged Orifice
Circular Cross-Section
(Pipe Flow - Guide)
Model description:
This model of component calculates the minor head loss (pressure drop) generated by
the flow in a thick-Edged orifice. Moreover, when the thickness of the orifice is
greater than 1.4 times the diameter of the orifice, the head loss due to friction in the
orifice is also taken into account because it becomes significant.
The head loss by friction in the inlet and outlet piping is not taken into account in this
component.
