High 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 high 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), p1 = upstream pressure (psi),
p2 = downstream pressure (psi), L = equivalent length (ft)
