Unique Manufacturing Methods

Unique Manufacturing Methods

 N/A Our unique laser piercing, and wire lapping methodology results in sharp edges, high lapped surface finish, roundness and high precision tolerances. This process is well suited to control all the little variables in hole geometry that effect flow variations. Eliminated are the chances of burrs, drill wobble, eccentricities and out of roundness. 2 micro inch surface finish and controlled orifice throat lengths all add up to repeatable flow characteristics in our products.

Choose from our stock micron Ruby series or any of our standard Ruby series 0.0020" thru 0.081" These have a standard plus 0.0002"/ minus 0.0000" tolerance.

Additionally we have our new Golden Orifice series with plus 0.0001". Tolerance /minus 0.0000". Also available from stock are our Conical Sapphire orifice series for higher pressure applications in sizes from 0.002" thru 0.030".

Precision Orifices

Precision Orifices

 N/A Bird Precision offers a unique series of laser drilled, wire lapped Ruby and Sapphire orifices. Orifices and filters are packaged in a huge variety of stainless, brass and plastic fittings, connectors and inserts. We have added a number of new stainless compression fittings in 2015. See our website for additional choices, such as Glands, Face Seal Unions, Bulkheads and Tees.

For the ultimate in low flow control we call your attention to our Micron Series Chart, giving the designer flows from less than 0.5 SCCM dry air. Standard sizes available up to 0.081". Extreme wear and chemical resistance make these orifices a welcome choice for harsh environments.
