SUMMARY
Choked flow can occur in a 1/4" diameter pressure regulator when there is a pressure difference of 3.5 bar. This phenomenon is contingent upon the pressure ratio across the orifice. When the output pressure is atmospheric, an input pressure of 3.5 bar is sufficient to induce choked flow conditions.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
