10G. Parallel (Loop) lines by Weymouth and Panhandle A Back to Main
This
page is used to determine Parallel (loop) lines by two different methods; the
Weymouth and the Panhandle A method.
The principles outlined for liquid flow also apply to steady-state gas
flow. The equations used for these calculations are listed in Table 10.4 in the
book Gas Conditioning and Processing Volume 1.
To
calculate the parallel (loop) lines, the method of calculation must be decided.
Choose Weymouth or Panhandle A by clicking on and shading the circle provided
for that selection. Once a method of calculation has been made the Percent
increase in flow rate, Existing pipe diameter, and Looped line diameter must be
entered into their entry space. To do so use the mouse to click the curser in
the entry spaces and input the data. Once this has been done, select Run to execute the solution.
The
Percent increase in flow rate is the amount it is desired to increase the
capacity of an existing pipeline system.
The
Existing pipe diameter is the inside diameter of the original line, on the
current existing system, before looping.
The
Looped line diameter is the inside diameter of the section of line added to the
system.
