*Derating of the unit is not required unless the heating value of the gas exceeds the values listed in the table above, or if the elevation exceeds 6000 ft. Derating conditions must be 4% per thousand ft above sea level. For example, at 4000 ft, if the heating value of the gas exceeds 1000 Btu/ft3, the unit will require a 16% derating. For elevations above 6000 ft, the same formula applies. For example, at 7000 ft, the unit will require a 28% derating of the maximum heating value per the National Fuel Gas Code.
