blowdown type gas leak: from a plug in a 1/2 inch port
blowdown type gas leak: from a plug in a 1/2 inch port
(OP)
Hi,
what is a good way to estimate how much gas was released from the following conditions:
1. 0.5" port
2. Initial pressure in the separator 175 psi (don't know if the separate size matters since we're working with the 0.5" plus size, but it's a 36"x10' separator)
3. blew down to atmospheric; so I guess final pressure from the separator 0 psi
4. time it took was about 45 seconds
how much gas in approximately was released.
assume gas is 0.7 specific gravity. all kinds of assumptions welcome.
Thanks a lot!

As much as possible, do it right the first time...
