Experiment study on pressure drop of a multistage letdown orifice tube
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pressure drop regulating approaches through the outlet and inlet of an orifice tube were compared and the results showed that reducing the diameter of orifice in the first stage or the sixth stage in the outlet of an OR tube can both increase the pressure drop.

4 – fluid flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed sound pipe-sizing practices can have a substantial influence on overall plant economics and the designer's responsibility to optimize the pressure drops in piping and equipment and to assess the most economic conditions of operations.
An Analysis of Cavitation Activity at Orifices of the FFG-7 Seawater Piping System
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical investigation has been made of cavitation in a number of pairs of orifice plates installed within the seawater cooling pipe lines of FFG-7 guided missile frigates, and four lines where excessive noise and erosion have been reported, have been analyzed; these are, the fire main recirculating line, the gas turbine start and bleed air cooler lines, and the prairie air cooler line.

Elimination of cavitation induced vibrations in orifice plates
TL;DR: In this article, it has been experimentally demonstrated that replacing a conventional orifice plate with three stages of multi-hole orifice plates in series with only a total streamwise distance of two pipe diameters, giving the same total pressure drop, is sufficient for the elimination of strong cavitation induced vibration levels.
