218-3597: M5 Orifice Plug

An Orifice Plug, also known as a Flow Control Device, is used to regulate the flow of fluid through a system. It is also used to create a specific pressure drop and restrict the flow rate of a fluid, thereby ensuring that it remains within desired parameters. The Orifice Plug consists of a solid disc or plate with a precisely machined hole or orifice in its center. Attributes: • Designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures • Helps maintain system efficiency and prevent excessive flow Applications: An Orifice Plug is used to control the flow rate of a fluid and protect the valve from damage caused by excessive flow rates.
