Gas Headers
Gas Headers
(OP)
When designing a gas distribution header system, does the order at which users are put in the line affect the system? This may be a stupid question... I'm not sure.
I am thinking that because the pressure in the header is controlled upstream of the users, it doesn't matter what flow rate each individual user takes, all users should see the full controlled pressure at their end of the pipe.
Is this correct?

RE: Gas Headers
This reasoning applies to normal plant piping layout and conventional pressure drop calculations, but I am sure people can think of a few specialized cases where velocity and momentum effects could be important to consider with distributing a gas flow.
