How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter pipe diameter (inches), length (miles or km), inlet and outlet pressure (psia), and gas specific gravity.
  2. Enter flowing temperature (°F) and pipeline efficiency factor.
  3. Read maximum gas flow rate (MMscfd) using the Weymouth or Panhandle equation.
  4. Review pressure drop per mile to identify hydraulic bottlenecks.
  5. Use results to size compressor stations and optimize looping configurations.
