Gas PipingPregunta 89 de 120
A residential natural gas system is supplied at about 7 in w.c. from the utility meter. Which allowable pressure drop is normally used with the standard low-pressure sizing tables for this system?
a.0.5 in w.c.
b.2 psi
c.7 in w.c.
d.11 in w.c.
Explicación
Standard low-pressure natural gas sizing at roughly 7 in w.c. supply is based on an allowable pressure drop of 0.5 in w.c., which leaves enough pressure at each appliance regulator. 2 psi is the drop used for elevated-pressure systems with line regulators; 7 in w.c. is the delivery pressure itself, not the drop; 11 in w.c. is a typical LP-gas delivery pressure.
