Sum - Pressure-Loss Worksheet Instructions
Low to Medium Pressure Systems - 14 inches water column ("wc) or less
Step 1 Select the type of Gas (cell "K10")
Step 2 Enter Supply Pressure (cell "K11") - Natural Gas Meter or Propane (LPG) Regulator Outlet Pressure
Step 3 Enter Minimum Allowable Delivery Pressure at the Appliance (Inlet pressure from equipment data plate) - (cell "K12")
Step 4 Select supply pressure (Source) for each run from Column B dropdown. Note: Select "1" for meter or LPG Regulator Outlet (Supply 1).
Lettered selections (A, B, C) refer to pressure at end of the run. For example; if Pipe Run "D" is connected to the end of Pipe Run "C",
then select "C" from the dropdown.
Step 5 Enter Pipe Material, Run Length and Load in Columns "C", "D" & "E"
Step 6
Step 7
The above sample was sized using the Specifier for Windows. The pressure used was 7" wc. with a 0.5" pressure drop. By using the worksheet and adjusting the system requirements to
more closely reflect the appliance demands, a system designer can optimize the sizing for a more efficient gas piping system. The SOPL (Sum of Pressure Loss) spreadsheet example above
utilized a 2.0 "wc pressure drop to optimize the pipe sizes. Note - Every section above was reduced 1 or 2 pipe sizes.
Continue adjusting pipe sizes until optimum piping sizes are obtained.
Estimate the pipe size required for the pipe run being considered. Enter this size in column "F" (Step 6a) After the completion of the worksheet, note
any "Pressures @ End of Run Column" "K" that are in Red. Red values represent a presssure drop in excess of the design limits previously stated.
The pipe runs must be adjusted in size in order to bring the system within design limits (Step 6b). Esimates may be obtained from the TracPipe-
Counterstrike Specifier for Windows (see drawing below)

Sum of Pressure Loss (SOPL) Worksheet Instructions
Elevated Pressure Systems (> 14"wc) - Typical 2 psig and 5 psig Systems
Step 1 Select the type of Gas (cell "M10")
Step 2 Enter Supply Pressure (cell "M11") - Natural Gas Meter or Propane (LPG) Regulator Outlet Pressure. Ex.: For 2 psig systems, 2 psig is approx. 56 "wc.
Step 3 Enter MinimumInlet Pressure to the LPR (Line Pressure Regulator) (cell "M12"). This is the Supply Pressure minus the allowable pressure drop across the
elevated pressure side piping.
Step 4 Enter the LPR outlet pressure (cell "M13").
Step 5 Enter MinimumAllowable Delivery Pressure at the Appliance (Inlet pressure fromequipment data plate) - (cell "M14")
Step 6 Pipe runs (Column A) on SOPL worksheet shall correspond to Pipe runs fromyour TracPipe-Counterstrike Windows Specifier drawing (see example below) or assign pipe runs
to a gas piping drawing corresponding to labels in Column A below.
Step 7 Select supply pressure (Source) for each run on the Elevated Pressure Side (>14"wc GREEN Column) fromCOLUMN B dropdown. Note: Select "1" for meter or LPG Regulator Outlet (Supply 1).
Lettered selections (A, B, C) refer to pressure at end of the run. For example; if Pipe Run "D" is connected to the end of Pipe Run "C",
then select "C" fromthe dropdown.
Step 8 Select supply pressure (Source) for each run on the LOW Pressure Side (<14"wc BLUE Column) fromCOLUMN C dropdown. Note: Select "2" for LPR (Line Pressure Regulator) (Supply 2).
Lettered selections (A, B, C) refer to pressure at end of the run. For example; if Pipe Run "D" is connected to the end of Pipe Run "C",
then select "C" fromthe dropdown.
** CAUTION: PRESSURE SOURCE MUST BE SELECTED FROM THE CORRECT COLUMN BELOW (B or C) BASED ON WHETHER THE PIPE RUN IS ON THE ELEVATED OR LOW
PRESSURE SIDE OR THE PROGRAM WILL NOT WORK!! **
Step 9 Enter Pipe Material, Run Length and Load in Columns "D", "E", & "F".
Step 10
Step 11
Estimate the pipe size required for the pipe run being considered. Enter this size in column "G" (Step 10a) After the completion of the worksheet, note
any "Pressures @ End of Run Columns" "M" or "N" that are in Red. Red values represent a presssure drop in excess of the design limits previously
stated. The pipe runs must be adjusted in size in order to bring the systemwithin design limits (Step 10b). Esimates may be obtained fromthe
TracPipe Specifier for Windows (see drawing below)
Continue adjusting pipe sizes until optimumpiping sizes are obtained.
The above sample was sized using the Specifier for Windows. The pressure used was 2 psig Natural gas with a 1 psi pressure drop to the LPR (Line Pressure Regulator) Inlets. A LPR outlet of
8"wc was chosen with a 3"wc pressure drop fromthe LPR outlet to the appliance inlet. By using the worksheet and adjusting the systemrequirements to more closely reflect the appliance demands, a
systemdesigner can optimize the sizing for a more efficient gas piping system. The SOPL (Sumof Pressure Loss) spreadsheet example above was used to further optimize the pipe sizing (3 lines on
the elevated pressure side (2 psig) were reduced in size)
