Fuel Consumption
See Figure 7 for fuel supply requirements at half and full
load for both natural gas and LP vapor.
Fuel Pipe Sizing
Figures 8 and 9 provide the maximum capacity of pipe in
cubic feet of gas per hour for gas pressures of 0.5 psi or
less and a pressure drop of 0.3 in. water column. Specific
gravity of gas is shown.
Listed values compensate for a nominal amount of
restriction from bends, fittings, etc. If an unusual number of
fittings, bends, or other restrictions are used, please refer
to federal and local codes.
