Important Units
• 1 kg of LPG = 46,200 BTU.
• 1 Kg of LPG=13.5 Kw.
• 1 BTU/hr. = 0.29307107 W
• 1 lit LPG = 0.565 kg.
• 1 Gallon=3.785 Lit.
• C=5/9(F-32)---0C=32F.
• Heating :
• 1 Sqm = 150 watt.

Brief steps for designing central gas system:

1. Draw the schematic pipework.
2. Determine gas load (i.e. BTU/Hr.) - the system
consumption per hour.
3. Define the required tank size.
4. Determine the pipe size.
5. Determine the gas regulators size.
6. Or Use Pipe Size software.

Answer : Gas PIPE Sizing

• Total 1st stage piping length=26 feet, 1st stage regulator setting is
10 psi (700mbar),(use table No.1 @ 30ft), From aa to a, the
demand is =338 BTU/Hr., use ½” pipe.
• The 2nd stage piping length = 58 feet ,(use table No.3 @ 60ft):
From a to b, the demand is =338 BTU/Hr., use 1” pipe.
From b to c, the demand is =138 BTU/Hr., use 3/4” or 7/8” pipe.
From c to d, the demand is =100 BTU/Hr., use 3/4” pipe.
From d to e, the demand is =35 BTU/Hr., use 1/2” pipe.
From b to f, the demand is =200 BTU/Hr., use 3/4” or 7/8” pipe.
From c to g, the demand is =38 BTU/Hr., use 1/2”.
From d to h, the demand is =65 BTU/Hr, use 1/2” or 5/8” pipe.
