SCOPE It is the purpose of this DEP to provide standard methods for calculating bore of restriction orifices in liquid, ges and steam service. FLOW RULE METHOD - Use the Foxboro 6-inch flow rule, and arrive at a pipe taps d/D ratio from which d can be calculated: (240,30) a=Ap A, If maximus flow reading is smaller than that which canbe read on Scale Q, multiply flow by 100 and obtain é/D for a line size 10 tines the actual. When mainum flow reading is larger than that which can be read on Scale Q, divide flow by 100 and obtain d/D for a line size 1/10 times the actual. In either case use the /D so derived multiplied by the actual pipe ID to calculate the bore of the primary device. The maximua flow rate for liquids must be entered on the rule at the flowing conditions since the specific gravity scale is read at flowing temperature. For critical pressure drop use a differential of one half upstream absolute pressure to arrive at a pipe taps d/D from which d can be calculated. FORMULA CALCULATIONS - should be used for conditions outside the range of the Foxboro rule. (Refer to nomenclature at end of this DEP for clarification of the following equations). A.
