LPG Gas Press Above 5psi Pipe Sizing

This document provides a table for sizing pipes for propane gas systems with pressures above 5 psi. The table lists the capacity in thousands of BTUs per hour (MBH) that can flow through various pipe sizes from 1/2 inch to 5 inches in diameter for different upstream and downstream pressure combinations. It notes that an inlet upstream pressure above 5 psi is required and provides factors for converting pipe capacity to cubic feet per minute of gas flow and for accounting for additional length from fittings when sizing pipes.
