Each case study traces a real cavitation or pressure-drop problem from failure mechanism through metallurgy review, inspection findings, and long-term operating performance after an Anti-Cavitate Orifice Plate™ was installed. Additional engineering detail is available in each PDF.
Restrict Flow technical case studies document real liquid piping systems where pressure drop, cavitation risk, inspection findings, and post-installation performance were reviewed after an Anti-Cavitate Orifice Plate™ was installed.
Each study below is available as an engineering PDF, including hydraulic analysis, inspection results, and post-installation performance.
A petrochemical boiler feed water system with roughly 740 PSI differential pressure suffered restriction orifice plate failures every three months. The study documents the cavitation-driven failure mechanism, metallurgy review, inspection findings, and long-term operating performance after the Anti-Cavitate Orifice Plate™ was installed.
A municipal raw water pumping system required 224 PSI of pressure reduction during pump commissioning within a severely constrained piping envelope. The study documents the hydraulic analysis, cavitation evaluation, staged-assembly space limitations, and implementation of a compact Anti-Cavitate Orifice Plate™ solution.
