Figure 3.2. Flow vs Pressure Drop, 1-1/2", 2" & 3" NPT (Rp) Models
NOTE:
Above graphs are for natural gas (0.60 s.q.). For
propane or butane, multiply the gas flow by the factors
listed below, to calculate the equivalent natural gas flow,
then find the pressure drop from the previous graphs.
Example: Find the pressure drop created by 15,000 scfh
of propane through an ES369 ratio regulator.
1. Convert propane to the equivalent natural gas flow:
15,000 x 1.58 = 23,700 scfh
2. Plot the point where 23,700 scfh crosses the ES369
curve on the above graph.
3. Translate the intersection point back to the pressure
drop axis.
4. The pressure drop at 23,700 scfh natural gas,
equivalent to 15,000 scfh propane, is approximately
23.5" w.c.
