Line Sizing

This document discusses key parameters for liquid lines, gas lines, and gas-liquid lines in pipelines. For liquid lines, it covers velocity, pressure drop, friction factor, and pump piping. For gas lines, it discusses pressure drop models including Weymouth, Panhandle and Spitzglass equations, as well as velocity and compressor piping considerations. For gas-liquid lines, it addresses velocity, pressure drop, and minimum velocity requirements.

- For large diameter ( > 10) long pipeline.


Spitzglass

- For near atmospheric pressure lines (in H2O).
