Orifice Plate Max Size
(OP)
Currently we have a 15.125" orifice size on a 24" line. This is causing a 3psi pressure drop. What is the largest bore size that you can install to reduce this pressure drop to a minimum and how do you calculate this?

3 psi doesn't sound a lot - what has happened for you to want to change it?
If you want no pressure drop look at other forms of non intrusive measurement - multi path UT e.g. or mag flow for a liquid.
all depends on what you're trying to do, if its a meter what is your accuracy / uncertainty aim as a percent?
