The subject of this paper is the effect of changing the roughness of the inflow surface of an orifice on its characteristics. A sloping segmental orifice was chosen as the reducer and its surface roughness was changed by lining its inflow surface with sandpaper of different roughness parameters. In such a system, the dependence of the flow stream on the differential pressure at the orifice was measured...
