A multi-hole orifice plate (or conditioning orifice plate) behaves like a flow conditioner. In addition to allowing flow measurement, it stabilizes the flow and thus requires reduced upstream and downstream straight lengths compared to other orifice plates. It is therefore used for footprint issues mainly.
It should be noted that these orifice plates are based on existing standards but are not standardized. They have been thoroughly tested to conclude on their proper operation and accuracy of measurement.
To understand and choose from the different orifice plates, refer to the selection table.
