Natural gas and Propane pipe sizing
Natural gas and Propane pipe sizing
(OP)
Hey,
i have a question for sizing the natural gas control skids and propane control skids.
The project i am working on has a Propane control skin and propane burners.
we have to work on the same burner to use for the Natural Gas.
so what kind of factors i need to consider and how should i size the pipes and gas nozzles.
i know that propane has much higher Calorific value 2.5 times that of natural gas.
By volume the natural gas should be 2.5 times that of Propane but how to sizes the pipes, regulators, control vales, etc.
can someone help me in this aspect.

With these values you can complete your design.

Out here, we use liquid propane to avoid using a massive tank, because the heat of vaporization will freeze the tank.
Also, you can use the resource as follows:

Rego Products provide design literature for cryo products too. Remember, the NFPA 58 doesn't allow hydrostatic testing of the natural gas pipe, and you can only use the testing mediums as follows:
CO2
CDA
N2
Never use oxygen
Good Luck, I need to cook dinner now.
