One that's smaller than the piping and compatible with the fluid being pumped.
Really, don't they have materials compatibility charts where you are?
You've been asking elementary questions that any competent student should know since June. Caustic Settling Tank
You claim to be "designing" the system, yet you come here and ask us the most elementary questions whose answers would be in many free books and web sites.
You should have your father find a new line of work for you, cause you seem to know nothing about your present job.
I'm beginning to think that we will do better to answer these blatantly lazy questions with the most absurd answer we can possibly come up with. It might be fun to mentally construct these ludicrous answers. Allow me to answer this lazy question in this fashion:
To properly craft an orifice that will work with a caustic fluid with no known desired parameters will mean that one must be able to easily craft many different orifices. To maximize the flexibility needed to make many orifices this orifice should be made out of a readily available malleable material. You could use butter. Butter can be easily molded with just hands and the simplest of blunt tools. Mild refrigeration maybe required to prevent this saturated fat from liquefying while being worked. If the caustic solution will be warmer than butter's melting temperature then the butter and orifice mount can be refrigerated itself to a sufficiently cold temperature to prevent the butter from melting.

Oooooh! That's strong! Most caustic is only about 33%.

CAUSTIC TENDS TO CLOG IN THE LINES. THERE IS POSSIBILITY OF CLOGGING SINCE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS CAME ACROSS THIS TYPE OF SERVICE. SINCE THERE ARE TYPES OF ORIFICE FOR EX. ECCENTRIC, SEGMENTAL. OUT OF WHICH IS SUITABLE OR DOES NORMAL CONC. TYPE ORIFICE IS SUITABLE FOR THIS SERVICE.

Greetings,
I can't help but wonder how one would expect a good answer from your posting.
Seems like the regulars are having fun with it though.
If you posed your question in a complete fashion you may get some sound counsel.
