    Orifice plate showing vena contracta. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in it, which is usually placed in a pipe. When a fluid (whether liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice [1] but as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases and the fluid pressure decreases.

    A restrictive flow orifice (RFO) is a type of orifice plate.They are used to limit the potential danger, damage, or wastage of an uncontrolled flow from, for example, a compressed gas cylinder [1] [2] They are generally not limiting the flow during normal operation but if a fault or failure occurs causing uncontrolled flow the orifice will present a restriction, limiting the flow.

  9. Subduction tectonics of the Philippines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subduction_tectonics_of...

    The subduction tectonics of the Philippines is the control of geology over the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine region is seismically active and has been progressively constructed by plates converging towards each other in multiple directions. [1] The region is also known as the Philippine Mobile Belt due to its complex tectonic setting. [2]
