The orifice area is calculated using an empirical factor and the square of the orifice diameter. This factor accounts for the conversion from diameter in inches to effective area for volumetric flow calculations in standard cubic feet per hour.

\begin{equation}\label{eq:flow-calculations-orifice-area} A = k_{area} \cdot d_{orifice}^2\end{equation}

Symbols
\(A\)Orifice area \([\unit{ \squareInch}]\)
\(k_{area}\)Orifice area factor (1300) - empirical constant for flow calculations, see physics::us::kOrificeAreaFactor \([\unit{ \unitless}]\)
\(d_{orifice}\)Orifice diameter \([\unit{ \inch}]\)
