PROPERTIES OF STEAM
Example: 6800 lbs per hour of steam flow in a 2 1/2 inch pipe at 100 psig pressure.
What is the pressure (psi) drop per 100 ft length of pipe and the flow velocity?
Answer: psi/100' = 11 velocity = 32,000 fpm

Steel Pipe - Schedule 40
Downstream Pressure
inlet upstream pressure is more than 5 psig (35 kPa)
fittings factor 1.2 - equivalent pipe length = pipe length + 20%
For natural gas the nominal BTU/cf varies from about 900 to 1100 BTU/cf. In general it is
common to set
1 Cubic Foot (CF) = Approx 1,000 BTUs

energy content in natural gas 1000 Btu/lb energy content in natural gas 1000 Btu/lb
One MBH is equivalent to 1000 BTU's per hour One MBH is equivalent to 1000 BTU's per hour
1 Btu/h = 0.293 W
1 lb = 0.4536 kg
1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m
1 in water = 248.8 N/m2 (Pa) = 0.0361 lb/in2 (psi) = 25.4 kg/m2 = 0.0739 in mercury
1 psi (lb/in2 ) = 6,894.8 Pa (N/m2 )
The capacity of a low pressure natural gas (less than 1 psi) pipe line can be calculated with the
Spitzglass formula like
q = 3550 k ( h / l SG)1/2 (1)
where
q = natural gas flow capacity (cfh) h = pressure drop (inWater Column)

l = length of pipe (ft) k = [d5 /(1 + 3.6/d + 0.03 d)]1/2
d = inside diameter pipe (in) SG = specific gravity
For natural gas the nominal BTU/cf varies from about 900 to 1100 BTU/cf . In general it is
common to set
1 Cubic Foot (CF) = approx 1,000 BTUs
1 CFH = 1 MBH
The specific gravity of natural gas varies from 0.55 to 1.0 .
The downstream pressure in a houseline after the meter/regulator is in general in the
range of 7 to 11 inches Water Column, or about 1/4 psi.
Example - Natural Gas Pipe Capacity
The capacity of a 100 ft natural gas pipe with a nominal diameter 0.5 inches (actual ID 0.622 in
)
and 0.5 inches WC pressure drop can be calculated as
k = [(0.622 in )5 /(1 + 3.6 / (0.622 in) + 0.03 (0.622 in))]0.117
q = 3550 0.117 ( (0.5 in) / (100 ft) 0.60 ) 1/2 = 37.9 cfh
Specific gravity of natural gas is set to 0.60.
