    Pipeline Pressurisation & de Pressurisation Calculation

    Uploaded by

    hatakerobot
    This document contains calculations to determine the pressure and flow rate of natural gas through a 15,000m pipeline with a 406.4mm outer diameter and 325.5mm inner diameter. It calculates the initial mass of gas in the pipeline at 30,326kg and an initial pressure of 9 barg. It then provides the Grote equation for calculating depressurization time, which estimates it would take around 522 minutes to fully depressurize the pipeline from an initial pressure of 3 barg to a final pressure of 0 barg.
