Single Phase Gas Flow
Erosional Velocity
Higher velocities will cause erosion of the pipe interior
over a long period of time. The upper limit of the gas
velocity is usually calculated approximately from the
following equation:
) lbm/ft (
100
ft/s) (

v
=
Usually, an acceptable operational velocity is 50% of the above.
Single Phase Gas Flow
Pipeline Efficiency
In Practice, even for single-phase gas flow, some water or
condensate may be present. Some solids may be also
present. Therefore the gas flow rate must be multiply by
an efficiency factor (E).
A pipeline with E greater than 0.9 is usually considered
clean .

Non-Iterative Equations
Several equations for gas flow have been derived from General
Equation. These equations differ only in friction factor relation
assumed:
Gas Transmission Pipline
1. AGA equation
2. Weymouth equation
3. Panhandle A equation
4. Panhandle B equation
Gas Distribution Pipeline
1. IGT equation
2. Spitzglass equation
3. Mueller equation
4. Fritzsche equation
Single Phase Gas Flow
AGA Equation
The transmission factor is defined as:
First, F is calculated for the fully turbulent zone. Next, F is
calculated based on the smooth pipe law. Finally, the smaller of
the two values of the transmission factor is used.

Panhandle A Equation
The Panhandle A Equation was developed for use in large
diameter natural gas pipelines, incorporating an efficiency factor
for Reynolds numbers in the range of 5 to 11 million. In this
equation, the pipe roughness is not used.
The Panhandle A friction factor is:

Panhandle B Equation
The Panhandle B Equation is most applicable to large diameter,
high pressure transmission lines. In fully turbulent flow, it is
found to be accurate for values of Reynolds number in the range
of 4 to 40 million.
The Panhandle B friction factor is:

Gas Transmission Equations
A. Comparison of the calculated Output Pressure by AGA,
Colebrook, Weymouth and Panhandle equations: Figure 2.5
B. Comparison of the calculated Flow rate by AGA, Colebrook,
Weymouth and Panhandle equations: Figure 2.6
We therefore conclude that the most conservative flow equation
that predicts the highest pressure drop is the Weymouth equation
and the least conservative flow equation is Panhandle A.
