Note: The performance data is based on normal testing at 70
º
F flowing temperature.
Changes in performance can occur at extreme low flowing temperatures.
Last capacity figure in each group indicates maximum allowable inlet pressure (except for emergency conditions). Heavy
stepped line indicates the recommended maximum capacity and inlet pressure for each orifice for operation within the
optimum performance
range.
