RE: Orifice Plate sizing
the flow rate specified is so small as to guarantee that pluggage will occur unless the sea water is completely filtered and properly sterilized. in any event you'll be cleaning your orifice more frequently than not. great if you have nothing else to do, hence the comment about using a valve.

I can give you an estimate of the RO if you can give me the wall thickness or ID of the tubing you plan to use.
