4.1 Gas Pipe Sizing Tables
The following tables are referenced from 2012 National Fuel Gas Code for reference only. Please consult the gas pipe manufacturer for actual
pipe capacities.
Maximum Natural Gas Delivery Capacity
In Cubic Feet (ft
3
) per Hour (0.60 Specific Gravity; 0.5 in WC Pressure Drop). Contact your gas supplier for BTU/ft
3
ratings. Use 1,000 BTU/ft
3
for
simplified calculations. This table is recommended for supply pressures less than 6 in WC.
