Hello,

I'm currently working on a project to install a CHP engine at a hotel and installing a couple of new boilers. The total installed capacity will be 440kW. We need to run a new gas supply pipe around the outside of the building, it'll be about 90 meters and 18 elbows, so a long run! Before we get too far I need to work out whether we will be able to supply this volume of gas to the appliances with 50mm steel or if we'll have to get it all welded up in a larger bore.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to pipe sizing guidelines so I can calculate what we'll need to use?

It'd be great if someone could also comment on the possibility of using PE buried underground, and whether this would be beneficial.

Thanks in advance,
Jimmy
