Flow Restrictors

5.5 mm Insert Single-Orifice Restrictor for Liquids

This highly accurate flow restrictor is self-retained, threadless, and reliable. The orifice is designed for installation into metal housings and is 100% flow tested on distilled water to ensure that every part is within ± 5% of its nominal flow rate. Tighter tolerances are available as custom configurations. To increase accuracy, the orifice is tested in the direction of use. An integral safety screen is incorporated for configurations with an orifice diameter of 0.5 mm (0.020 of an inch) or below. This restrictor is constructed entirely of stainless steel.
