Above ratings based on natural gas with specific gravity of 0.60 allowing pressure drop of 0.3 inches water column. No allowance is needed for pipe fittings. Use the following multipliers on above capacities for specific gravity other than 0.60:

Specific Gravity	0.50	0.55	0.60	0.65	0.70
Multiply Capacity by:	1.10	1.04	1.00	0.962	0.926
