I would like to know the nitrogen volume calculation

To pressurize 10 cubic meter of pipe line ,how much volume

nitrogen required on the below condition ?
1. only to purge at positive pressure?
2. pressurize with 30psi ?
how much gallon of liquid nitrogen required fill 1 cubic meter at
atm pressure?
how much gallon of liquid nitrogen required fill 1 cubic meter at
30psi pressure?
please share your stuff .

One cubic meter = 264.17 US gallons.

So ten cubic meter pipeline requires 2,641.7 US gallons of liquid

nitrogen to fill. This is correct for 1 atmosphere and 30psi (both
psig and psia).

Hi Crabtree

Requirement of purging/lay up for commissioing. Pressure does

not matter . I would like to calculate the volume in gallon for
final pressure.

i have note this formula

The nitrogen volume required to purge equipment with a

simple cross section is determined using the following formula:

V = VoP/14.7
Where:

V = Total nitrogen volume required (scf)

Vo = Water volume of pipeline (cf)

P = Absolute pressure of nitrogen in the pipeline

during purging (psia)

Is it right?

To calculate vol. of liquid N2 to fill 10 Cu. m of N2 at ambient

temp. we proceed as follows:

22.4 M3 of any gas at NTP (1 atm. & 0 deg. C) weighs equal to

its Mol. wt. in kg.

which means 10 M3 vol. of N2 at NTP weighs = (28/22.4)*10 =

12.5 kg

To calculate wt. at ambient (say 20 deg. C) the wt. will be less as

per gas laws = 12.5*273/(273+20) = 11.65 kg

The density of liquid N2 = 0.807 = 0807 kg/litre

Vol. of liquid N2 required = 11.65/0.807 litres = 14.44 liters =

14.44/3.785 US gallons
= 3.815 US gallons

To calculate liquid N2 Vol. required at 30 psi proceed as follows:

Wt. of N2 at 30 psi as per gas laws = 11.65*30/14.3 = 24.44 kg =

24.44/0.807 = 30.28 litres = 30.28/3.785 US gallons = 8 gallons.

This could have been calculated directly as = 3.815*30/14.3 =

8.00 gallons.
