Hi Everyone!
I'm working on a small propane delivery pipe for an apparatus on a trailer... but that's not important...
I'm using the AGA Gas Code manuals (even though code doesn't apply in this case)... and the tables for 11.o" wc pressure (the pressure from my regulator) include a 0.5" wc pressure drop, for sizing pipe.
Now, I understand that the table has to use SOME pressure drop to be calculated, but I can handle a much larger pressure drop than the table is calculated for (3"). This suggests that I can use smaller pipe and be fine (saving weight and money), but the table doesn't exist for that...
How can I convert the table values for a larger pressure drop allowance?
Thanks for your kind help!
