P= ((Le x S x Q2 x 3.6 x 106)/D5) + Ps

Le Eqv. Length of Pipe 55 m

L Length of Pipe 55 m
Ts Corrected Stack Temp 517 C
S Density of Gas 0.4460896 kg/m3
Q Ex. Gas Flow 558 m3/min
D I D of pipe 500 mm
Ps Pr. drop across Muf 3.6 kPa

Eqv. Straight Length for elbows 74 m

Eqv. Length of Pipe Le = 129 m

P= 5.66 kPa
P= 56.56 mbar
Please note that the Max. back pressure allowed is 8.5 kPa / 85 mbar
The above calculated figure should not exceed 8.5 kPa
If back pressure exceeds or nears 8.5 kPa, increase the I D of the pipe suitably
