Crane Technical Paper 410 provides a basic equation for the calculation of pressure drop across orifices:
q = (Cd*A)/(SQRT(1-B^4)))*SQRT(2gh)
or
q = CA*SQRT(2gh)
My question is: Does this equation hold for high pressure drops (approximately 80-85 psi) over very small orifices (~0.05" in diameter)? Are there better correlations for orifices this small with pressure differentials this high?
Thanks!
