The Table above can be used as follows:

Assume that the pipeline pressure is 1000 psig at 40°F. This gas can hold 9.1 Ib./mmscf of water.
Assume that the pressure will be cut from 1000 psig to 100 psig at the supply regulator.
Assume that for every 100 psjg drop in pressure the gas will drop 7°F in temperature. In this case, the temperature will 

drop from 40°F to -23°F (1000 psig - 100 psig / 100 psig x 7°F =63°F).
From the table, look up 100 psig and -23°F (or the closest value). If the number is below 7 lb./mmscf, water will fallout of 

the gas and the desiccant should be replaced once a year to prevent problems as a result of freezing.

The above test procedure indicates the predicted service life of the Becker FD-1500 filter/dryer cartridge assembly.
