2 EXECUTION
The recommended diameter of the orifice is 8 mm.
The orifice plate should be made of stainless steel or brass to prevent rusting, with a thickness
of 3 to 4 mm.
The orifice plate should be fitted in a vertical part of the drain pipe close to the common drain
line.
If the drain of the compartment after the water separator is fitted with a butterfly valve close
to the common drain line, the orifice may be drilled in the valve.
Couplings, flanges and valves that are fitted with an orifice should be clearly marked
indicating the orifice location and size. An example is shown on page 3 for an orifice plate
fitted in a flange coupling.
The orifice plates should be periodically checked for obstruction and erosion e.g. every six
months.
