Figure 58  General Gas 04 – Pipeline Inlet Pressure Required

A 36 km long x 250 mm pipeline is to be used to transport 4.0 MMSCMD of Natural Gas to a storage tank maintained at 6000.0 kPa.a. Calculate the gas inlet pressure required to transport this gas flow rate.

The Inlet Pressure results calculated using various compressible gas flow formulas are:

Panhandle A Isothermal Flow equation 8633 kPa.a

Panhandle B Isothermal Flow equation 8680 kPa.a

IGT Isothermal Flow equation 8703 kPa.a

AGA Isothermal Flow equation 9137 kPa.a

General Fundamental Isothermal Flow equation 9187 kPa.a
