We stumbled upon one of those inconslusives... so I was wondering what people are doing to "guesstimate" capacities.
Existing 8" line flowing in excess 10 MMSCFD nat gas @ 1050 psi, with a 1/2" tap we are attempting to pull off 2.5 MMSCFD. No this is not by design, but we wish to minimize downtime and cost, the 1/2" tap is already there.
We are modeling the capacity of flow as if it were an excessively long 1/2" choke bean. We are shooting for a 25 to 50psi pressure drop. We intend to flow less than 1 foot of 1/2" pipe/tubing.
Any input would be great...
