Natural Gas Pipe Sizing Software
Natural Gas Pipe Sizing Software
(OP)
I am working on a project to design an underground closed loop natural gas system with all branches networked together. I am looking for the software for pressure drop calculation and pipe sizing. Has anyone used or heard of any software for this use, or any other advise for the calculations?
Thank you in advance for help!

Is this a one-time project or do you plan to do similar work in the future?

It will be steady state networks since the main purpose of the calculation is to size the piping and make sure there is sufficient pressure available for end users. We might have similar work in the future. Any advise?
Thank you very much.

You can buy the liquid and the gas license separately.

In this thread you are asking about a system to design for capacity, if you are wrong there is no threat to human life.
As for software replacing Engineers, hey GIGO, it still takes an experience engineer to filter the input and output. I have lots of stories where Jr Engineers and Laypeople didn't understand what the program printed out.
