IMPORTANT !
Tables 3 and 4 are based on values given in the Gas Engineers Handbook and are intended as a guide only.
Consult your gas supplier for gas capacity and pipe size information for your particular piping system.
From step 3, ELOP = 60 m. Locate the column
labeled 60 m in Table 3.
5.
Select a pipe section and read down the ELOP
column to find the maximum gas capacity that
matches the HVR for that pipe section. If the
exact figure is not shown, choose the next larger
figure in the column. In this example, start with
pipe section c-e. For pipe section c-e, HVR = 12
kW. Since 12 kW is not listed, read the next
higher value from the table. The next higher
value is 21.
6.
Follow the row leftward until you reach the
column labeled ‘Nominal Iron Pipe Size’, or
‘Internal Diameter’, and read the number of the
pipe size for the particular pipe section.
Example: For pipe section c-e, the iron pipe size
is 19.1 mm (3/4 in.) (Table 3: Locate 21 in the 60
m column, read left).
7.
Repeat steps 5-6 for each pipe section in the
system. Use 60 m column for all readings.
Example: The table ‘Pipe Sizes Determined For
Arbitrary Piping System’, summarizes the pipe
sizes determined in this example.
