The cubic feet per hour listed in the table above must be greater than the cubic feet per hour of gas flow required by the furnace. To determine the cubic feet per hour of gas flow required by the furnace, divide the input rate of the furnace by the heating value of the gas:
Cubic Feet Per Hour Required = | Input To Furnace (Btu/hr) |
| Heating Value of Gas (Btu/Cu. Ft.) |

‡= Based on heating value from 900 to 999 BTUH. For heating values less than 900 BTUH multiply manifold pressure by 1.1 for corrected pressure. For heating values greater than 1,000 BTUH, multiply manifold pressure by 0.9 for corrected pressure.
