Natural gas - pipe flow calculation

This calculator can be used for calculation of flow rate and pressure drop calculation in natural gas distribution network for single gas line.

This calculator is applicable for calculation of flow rate and pressure drop calculation in natural gas distribution network for a single gas line.

Natural gas is considered as compressible, so you can use this calculator for medium and high pressure gas lines, which means that pressure must be higher than 1 bar man, and lower than 100 bar.

Also calculator can be used if the gas line is longer than 1m (L>1m). Minor losses and pressure changes due to hight change are not included in this calculation. The temperature in underground gas lines can be considered constant as the drop in temperature due to pressure drop is compensated with the heat that the gas is getting from the tarrain.

This calculator can be used for calculation of pressure drop (p1-p2), or for calculation of flow rate (Q), or mass flow rate (G). Flow rate Q is calculated at standard conditions which are pressure (atmopheric) p = 101325 Pa and temperature T=288.15 K.

note: calculator requires Java.
