F.6.3.1.3 1992 AGA3 Equation Configuration
The user must configure the inputs to the equation.
Pressure Tap - The user mat toggle between pressure tap settings Flange/Upstrm and
Flange/Dnstrm.
Low Flow Cut Off - When the differential pressure drops below the low flow cut off value,
the flow rate will be set to zero. Default units are inches of water (H
2
O).
Orifice Diameter - Orifice diameter is entered here. Default units are inches.
Pipe Diameter - Diameter of the pipe is entered here. Default units are inches.
Orifice Temp. Coefficient - Orifice coefficient of thermal expansion is entered here
(Inches per Inch-degree F).
Pipe Temp. Coefficient - Pipe coefficient of thermal expansion is entered here (Inches per
Inch-degree F).
Isentropic Exponent - Gas Isentropic Exponent is entered here. This should not be
changed unless the Gas Isentropic Exponent is known to be other than the 1.3 value given
in the 1992 American Gas Association (AGA3) Report.
