6.16 — Gas Pressure and Flow Information
The pressure required at the entrance to the burner gas train for rated boiler output is termed “net regulated pres-
sure.” The gas pressure regulator must be adjusted to achieve the pressure to assure full input.
FIGURE 6-6.
Minimum Net Regulated Gas Pressure for Rated Boiler Output
The pressure requirement varies with boiler size, altitude, and type of gas train. The pressures listed are based on
1000 Btu/cu. ft. natural gas at elevations up to 700 feet above sea level. For installation at higher altitudes, multiply
the selected pressure by the proper factor from Figure 6-7.
