Bird Precision routinely helps assist designers with flow guides and extremely repeatable sapphire and ruby orifice retrofits in order to achieve the ideal flow solution.
- Often the fixed orifice can be installed directly into the manifold thereby reducing the number of fittings required.
- Sapphire and Ruby Orifices are not as exotic as they may sound.
- The material is also chemically inert even to acid at elevated temperature, so corrosion is not an issue.
