Calculating Pressure Drop in Natural Gas Piping
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2016 5:16 pm
Hi,
I want to calculate the pressure drop in a high pressure gas piping (1" Sch. 80 piping) from a high pressure regulator station to a high pressure gas train serving a reciprocating engine-generator.
The delivery pressure at the outlet of the high pressure regulator station is 60 psig and the generator requires a minimum of 4 bar (58 psig) at the inlet of the high pressure gas train which is about 40m away from the regulator station (say 50m if we want to account for a 1" plug valve (fully open) and about 6 to 8 elbows (90 deg.) from the regulator to the gas train.
I'm trying to use the Renouard Equation shown on the website but I'm not certain if the formula values/units are correct.
Can you please help me. Need to work this out ASAP (today).
Thanks,
Best Regards,
