Seeking a calculation formula
Thread Content
I have just switched from the construction industry to a natural gas company, where my main responsibility is related to construction work. I would appreciate it if you could recommend the \"Formula for calculating natural gas pipeline flow: handshake\"!
The flow rate of natural gas depends on the pipe diameter and pressure; there are specific tables providing these values. For low-pressure pipes, the flow rate is generally 5-6 meters per second, while for medium-pressure pipes it is around 10-15 meters per second. The flow rate is 226 m3/h, and the pipe flow velocity is set at 15 m/s. What size of pipeline should be chosen? According to the formula: Q = V * πD^2/4. 226 (m3/h) = 15 (m/s) * 3.14 * 3600 (s) * D^2/4. Therefore, D = 0.073 (m) = 73 mm; hence, a DN80 pipeline should be selected
