Formulas For Gas

This document contains formulas and variables for calculating properties of gas flow through pipes, including: 1) Velocity, using flowrate, specific gravity, density, and pipe diameter. 2) Sonic velocity, using specific heat ratio, gravity, gas constant, and temperature. 3) Pressure drop per 100 feet, using friction factor, length, flowrate, specific gravity, density, and pipe diameter. 4) Reynolds number, using pipe diameter, velocity, density, and viscosity. The document notes that all formulas are from pages 3-2 and 3-3 of the Crane Handbook.
