Gas Line Sizing

This document provides information to estimate the line size for a gas pipeline. It includes input values like flow rate, temperature, pressure, viscosity, and pipe roughness. It then shows calculations for different nominal pipe sizes (NPS) of various standard wall thicknesses (SCH) to determine the best line size based on parameters like velocity, pressure drop and Reynolds number. Tables list common NPS and SCH standards.
