Estimate comparative hydraulic flow metrics and differential pressure restriction ratios directly in your browser. Differential pressure orifice meters utilize calibrated constriction plates across process piping to monitor volumetric fluid velocity according to Bernoulli energy conservation principles.

This sizing tool models relative fluid throughput using three pipeline parameters: Primary Dimension (val1, representing differential pressure head or nominal flow volume), Operating Coefficient (val2, representing discharge coefficient or fluid density multiplier), and System Loss Factor (val3, representing pipe friction loss or expansion margin). The calculation evaluates the primary proportional flow index as (val1 × val2) / val3, the secondary geometric mean index via √(val1 × val2), and the relative throughput proportion as (val1 / (val1 + val2)) × 100.

For example, with a differential pressure baseline of 100, an operating discharge coefficient of 20, and a loss offset factor of 5, the primary flow ratio computes to (100 × 20) / 5 = 400.00, the geometric mean index evaluates to √(2000) ≈ 44.72, and the relative volume distribution yields (100 / 120) × 100 ≈ 83.33%.
