Natural Gas Velocity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Natural Gas Velocity is:

\[ NGV = \frac{Q}{\pi \cdot \frac{D^2}{4}} \]

Where:

\(NGV\) is the Natural Gas Velocity (m/s)
\(Q\) is the volumetric flow rate (m³/s)
\(D\) is the internal diameter of the natural gas pipe (m)

What is Natural Gas Velocity?

Natural gas velocity is a measure of the linear rate of speed of natural gas moving through a pipe. It is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the cross-sectional area of the pipe. This measurement is crucial for understanding the flow dynamics and ensuring the efficient transport of natural gas.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Volumetric Flow Rate (Q) = 0.5 m³/s
Internal Diameter of the Pipe (D) = 0.1 m

Using the formula:

\[ NGV = \frac{0.5}{\pi \cdot \frac{0.1^2}{4}} = 63.66 \text{ m/s} \]

The Natural Gas Velocity is 63.66 m/s.
