    Rectifier and Test Lead Spacing

    Is there a formula to determine the distance of pipeline that CP can protect from a single rectifier influence? Please reference the source of your response as I would like to document this process. Also is there any rule of thump as to the interval between test leads on pipelines?

    Converting from Pound to Barrels

    Thanks David I believe you've pointed me in the right direction. Also, regarding going from aCF to MaCF I should have known that was the case but after looking at my model for so long my mind goes to mush :=). Thanks again.

    Converting from Pound to Barrels

    Thanks for the feed back. I will look further into the BOE conversions. Question I have other HVL products I'm attempting to model how do I acquire the HHV for them? By the way what is HHV? zdas04 in your last post does MaCF stand for Thousand Actual Cubic Feet, is so how did you get from...

    Converting from Pound to Barrels

    Okay so we're back here again. It seems the formula in my orig post produces the same results as the ones which I've received, which is a good thing. I guess the problem I have now is that the gaseous state of my Highly Volatile Liquid is producing high bbls amount. I'm attempting to model a...

    Converting from Pound to Barrels

    Below I have two scenarios, both expressing a volume in cubic feet to pounds then expressing the pounds in barrels of oil equivalent, or something like that. Volume of Crude spilled = 400 ft^3 in five mins Crude density 58 lbs/ft^3 Is the Pounds to barrels conversion then...

    Leak Rate

    I've been away for a couple of days. Thanks for all the help Latexman.

    Leak Rate

    Latexman @ 16:18 you’re asking all the right questions but as stated in the attached document the equation is meant to give us a conservative flow rate. If I were looking for a more precise leak volume I would have to consider the things you’re mentioning but the current equation does the...

    Leak Rate

    Latexman, Your right the method which I am trying to utilize is very conservative. Based on this method if I can determine the volume of Gas release (Conservatively) over a 10 min period I would just need to multiply that value times my product value of $7 Mcf to get the total conservative...

    Leak Rate

    Ladies and Gentlemen I'm attempting to model the scenario described in the attached document. Ultimately what I'm attempting to do is estimate product loss in dollars in the event of a line rupture, in order for me to do so I have to first calculate the leak volume (product released) for a full...
