Relates pressure drop   on the choke with the flowrate through the choke  arising from fluid friction with choke elements (ISO5167):

p_{in} - p_{out} =  \frac{ \rho \cdot (1- \beta^4)}{0.125 \, \pi^2 \, d^4 \, C_d^2 \, \epsilon^2} \cdot  q^2

where

fluid  density

orifice diameter

pipe diameter 

choke narrowing ratio

expansion factor
