The filter discharge piping shall be designed with an orifice or other permanently installed flow limiting device to ensure that the maximum filter rate cannot be exceeded... With the exception of declining rate filters, each filter unit shall be equipped with a manually adjustable rate-of-flow indication or control valves with indicators. 2, record 13, English, - declining%20rate%20filter
