Restriction Orifices & Flow Elements for Nuclear Applications

There are many uses for restriction orifices in nuclear plants. Their main purpose is to reduce downstream pressure. Depending upon the degree of pressure reduction, single-stage or multi-stage orifices are used.

Flow elements are used for precise measurement of flow. Thermon Heating Systems supplies precision machined restriction orifices and flow elements that provide 1% accuracy. These units are manufactured from corrosion and abrasion-resistant material to maintain accuracy for the life of the plant.
