Low Pressure Flow of Natural Gas
in DriscoPlex® Pipe
1. Average ID used in all calculations. It equals the nominal OD minus 2.12 times the minimum wall thickness.
2. For flow in BTU/hr at sea level multiply flow by 1000. Heat value of Natural Gas is 1000 BTU/scf at sea level.
3. Calculations used low pressure (< 1.5 psi) equation from Chapter 12, National Fuel Gas Code (2002).
Q = Flow (cubic ft per hr), D = ID (in), Cr = 0.6094 (natural gas), ?H = pressure drop (in w.c.),
L = equivalent length (ft)
