pipeline capacity!!!

[petroabbes]

gents;
i have arount 120 000 SM3/d of gaz, and i have a 8 in pipeline,for a distance of 20km..

can my pipe handle this quantity (transpport) it or not?? how can i calculate by pipesim??

thanks a lot

First of all, what is end pressure?
if you know end pressure, pls add source to system in pipesim. Build pipeline at network section and add sink to the end of pipeline.
Run...
That is all.

an then you can click on line and from pipeline section/operation menu pls check pressure/length graphic. It will show you.

cheers

Also check that the gas velocity does not exceed erosonial or noise limits and that the inlet pressure does not exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure - see GPSA handbook for more information.

details will always come with new details. In this case, he will also need to check gas hydrates as well.
You can understand allowable operation pressure as per ANSI/ASME 31.8 design standard varying from location classes in conjunction with design formula.

Hey, I just read your post, do you still need help? if so, pls give me the next data and i will sent you the model done on PipeSim or PipelneStudio to review.
- Pipe sch
- Gas Density
- Initial Pressure or Final Pressure.
Bye
