oil-field of Lacq, in the south of France.
The company has developed a
recognized expertise in designing
and manufacturing of a full range of
primary flow elements and pressure /
flow restriction equipment dedicated
to the process industry.
More than 10.000 devices are installed
worldwide.

TRUSTED NAMES RELY ON US

REACTIVITY
Short delivery times,

DESIGN KNOW-HOW
> Restriction orifices are designed accurately taking into account all the relevant operating conditions
and specific parameters such as noise, cavitation and critical flow.
> Incorrect design and calculation of restriction orifices without considering these parameters can
lead to costly replacement of equipment.

FLEXIBILITY

Damage of the orifice edge

Customer-specific product development

and manufacturing on request

ADVICE

Excessive noise and vibration

Our team of skilled

engineers is able to advise
you in selecting the best
technological solution

Erosion of the plates and the tube

Damage of the entire restriction orifice

CAVITATION

CHOKED FLOW OR CRITICAL FLOW

Occurs for a liquid when large pressure drops

are required.

Occurs for a gas when a big pressure drop

is required and so sonic conditions can be
reached.

OUR PRODUCTS : FEATURES AND BENEFITS

> Used to manage pressure drops or to restrict flow rates in a pipe work
> Multi-stage and/or multi-holes restriction orifices used for high pressure and/or high noise
applications.
When the desired pressure drop cannot be achieved by a single plate, a multi-stage restriction orifice
assembly is required. It is composed of several orifice plates, each of them reducing the fluid pressure to
its maximum capacity. The orifice plate can be a single-bore or a multi-bore plate if the noise level is critical.

Flow velocities with single hole orifice plates

During the design stage, calculations are performed to avoid cavitation and choked flow at
each stage of the flow restriction.

NOISE LEVEL
Limited to 85 dB (A) according to international
noise standards.

Simple hole restriction orifice

Multi-holes restriction orifice

Multi-stages restriction orifice

Multi-holes restriction orifices are

implemented to meet this demand :
increase the number of orifices in
order to reduce the noise level.
