About Restrict Flow

Cavitation is a piping system problem. We engineer the fix.

Restrict Flow is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business engineering restriction orifice plate solutions for liquid piping systems where pressure drop, energy dissipation, and cavitation risk are key concerns. We size each solution to the system in front of us, not a catalog.

From a 2010 demonstration to plants worldwide

The Anti-Cavitate Orifice Plate™ was first demonstrated in Abu Dhabi in 2010, as the UAE evaluated nuclear power generation. The demonstration drew a US delegation and Department of Energy leadership alongside a small group of nuclear and industrial companies.

Since then, the Anti-Cavitate Orifice Plate™ has been installed in nuclear plants and industrial facilities around the world, addressing cavitation and severe pressure-drop challenges that standard orifice plates are not suited to manage on their own.

Installed across
  • Nuclear power plants
  • Paper mills
  • Pharmaceutical facilities
  • Petrochemical
  • High differential pressure liquid systems

How we work

Personalized, one-on-one engineering from first contact through the life of the device. You bring the system conditions; we do the analysis.

01

You submit system data

Fluid, line size, flow, and pressures, whatever you have. We work from real operating conditions, not assumptions, and follow up on anything missing.

02

Our engineers run the analysis

We evaluate cavitation risk and pressure-drop behavior against the governing piping code, then size the device to where the energy is actually being dissipated.

03

We deliver the engineered solution

A quality solution delivered on time, backed by a team that supports the product through its full service life, not just the sale.

Industries we serve

Restrict Flow supports liquid piping systems where pressure drop, cavitation risk, vibration, noise, and downstream wear must be carefully reviewed.

Capabilities Statement

Engineering depth from government and aerospace work

Restrict Flow is led by an SDVOSB owner and a former NASA-contract aeronautical engineer with 18 years inside government contracts. We design and deliver restriction orifice plate solutions, standard orifice plates, and provide fluid-flow process engineering and consulting.

Whether you have a fixed set of flow conditions to meet or need a larger system-level perspective, we work through the problem and deliver an engineered solution, especially where orifice or pipe cavitation is the issue.
