    Gas Pipe Sizing Formula

    Hi, I'm chasing a couple of things to assist with design of a gas service for a high rise apartment building. a) The most suitable formula to use in sizing the pipework. System would be 100 mm and supply pressures 2.75 kPa thru to 70 kPa. b) As I understand it equivalent lengths are typically...
