There are many equations for determining the flow in natural gas pipes and the pressure drops associated with those flows, or vice versa. Our intent is to determine the validity of each equation with respect to flow rates that might be encountered by a plumbing engineer.

Bolstered by continued growth in the economy, overall U.S. pipe, valves and fittings (PVF) spending across 12 industries is expected to increase to $13.6 billion in 2020, up by nearly $400 million from 2019, notes Industrial Info Resource’s PVF Market Assessment.
