TABLE NOTES:
1) The table values shown are expressed in units of FT3/HR of gas flow.
2) The table values assume a specific gravity of 0.60. For a specific gravity of 0.65 the table multiplier is 0.96.

3) The table values assume a heating value of 1,000 MBH/FT3 for natural gas. Which means that 1 CFH=1 MBH. The
4) The pipe sizes indicated are for schedule 40 standard weight steel pipe.
5) 1 lb. Gas Pressure = 27.7 in. of water column
6) Using these tables the final pressure for the most remote piece of equipment will be:

5 lb. table: final pressure 124.65 in. W.C. - 2 lb. table: final pressure 49.86 in. W.C. - 1 lb. table: final pressure 24.93
0.25 lb. table: final pressure of 6.7 in. W.C.
PIPE SIZING PROCEDURE:

1) Add all of the individual lengths (vertical & horizontal) to determine the single longest run of the system from the ga
