Had one cant find it, it gave psi,BTU,size of pipe,run
of pipe in ft.
It was in a graph form and very simple.
Sample: 5-psi gas supply
5,000,000 BTU
200 ft
1 1\2 pipe size
1.5 psi drop

I used to just over size gas pipe and run 2 inch on mains have over 3,000 ft of gas pipe to run, the price of blk pipe has just about went up 100% from a year ago.
Time to stop China from buying all all our scrap steel, if we dont watch it china will be driving our economy.

this comes up around here a lot. there should be a chart somewhere here try doing a search. as far as china goes, they are already running a part of our economy. dont be fooled about that. ask any estimator in any business that utilizes metals and you will hear the same thing, "x" went up ____% last year due to china. suck it up and pass those costs along. big business created this mess by "consolidating" or closing the mills and shipping the jobs overseas. this helped short term but will crush them long term
