Fuel Pipe Sizing

Figures 8 and 9 provide the maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour for gas pressures of 0.5 psi or less and a pressure drop of 0.3 in. water column. Specific gravity of gas is shown.

Listed values compensate for a nominal amount of restriction from bends, fittings, etc. If an unusual number of fittings, bends, or other restrictions are used, please refer to federal and local codes.
