Derek sir you are an absolute gent. I was recently trying to remember how to estimate pipe sizing and always struggled with the bit about adding the pipe sections... From this tutorial it suddenly makes sense... 20 years after passing my first ACS...🤪 Thank you once again ..
Great video Derek, really well explained and easy to follow when doing pipe sizing, getting the correct pipe sizes is really important as it makes a big difference with the pressure drop. Doing this in class at tomkat it does pull your hair out but once you get your head down to it and get to understand the process it makes it enjoyable in sizing the pipes for the appliances. Excellent video Derek..👍👍😁😀
The Books are clearly only a guide Derek fills in the__Gaps__ & helps you to understand everything clearly & easily what a massive help these videos are to us Trainees 👍🏻
This video is awesome! Really informative. Really helpful. Every step explained clearly. There is no chance I can go wrong if I carefully follow the steps you have outlined. (I should have watched this before attempting the homework 🤣) Thanks Derek. Top video. 👍🏻 Asian Jon. Training.
this Man is a god damn genius. I had almost given up the will to live until I saw this!!! Next gas course I will find a hotel to stop in Ashton under lyne
Hah! This is a really good comprehensive video and I'm only here in passing. But I'm also from Ashton and I know what the hotels USED to be like there! Choose carefully!
Hi Derek, I love your video’s and like many viewers I have found them so very interesting and useful to understand about all aspects of gas safety. This is where I am a little nervous, because I am going to question the way you are interpreting the equivalent length when it comes to the Tee fittings, specifically between the meter and the Boiler. The way I am reading it, is you only need account for a Tee Fitting, when the flow is either ‘entering’ or ‘exiting’ a Tee, not when the gas flow is going straight through it. In your diagram, where the Tee is located at point B, the Gas Flow is not entering or exiting a Tee branch, its going straight through it, so does that not suggest that when accounting for gas flowing to the boiler, the Tee connector at B should not be accounted for? Of course you would account for the Tee fitting at point B, when working out the Pipe size from B to D, because in that case the gas is exiting the branch, but if the gas is not flowing in or out of a Tee branch, isn’t that like having a straight piece of pipe from the Meter to the boiler with six 90 degree elbows (1 elbow from A to B and 5 elbows from B to C). If you could please clarify this point I would be much obliged. Regards Steve
Like I say to everyone who brings this up I always count the tee on the first calculation because that would be the biggest size of pipe. Then it is not counted again because if you think about it logically the other 2 pipes could be smaller so less equivalent length. Pipe sizing isn’t an exact science because they don’t give you the figures for every calculation for the m3. So this video is to show the process and so guys understand the process if you don’t want to count the tee first then don’t do it the way you want to as the results will be the same.
Your channel is a god send but on this point I was taught as per the OP on entering and exiting Tees. My LCL book issue 5.0 page D6 shows clearly what the branch is. It has an asterix note below which deals with the largest connection issue. The actual rules in BS6891 have a Table A.5 confirming this and the asterix comment.
Good evening, a comment. IGEM/UP/2 edition 3 guidance document states that gas pipework system should be designed from the gas meter to the appliance with a max drip drop of 1mbar. It later states that the appliance must also be safety set to work in accordance with the manufacturers minimum working pressure which does not mean that you must achieve the max 1mbar pressure drop it can infact be much higher.
You should supply enough gas so that there is not more than a 1 mbr drop when installing a new appliance what you are talking about is when you are testing an old appliance and you missed the bit that says and not affect the safe operation of any other appliance.
One thing ive never understood with this is, if you guess wrong at the estimated pipe size to begin with then the whole process is a waste of time, this was obvious a-b wouldnt be anything lower than 28mm, theres got to be a way of not guessing, hope this makes sense
If the size of pipe you have chosen goes over the 1 mbr you just choose the next size pipe and do it again. It’s not about getting it correct first time and not a waste of time and you will always have to guess the size but experience always helps with guessing
great example any chance you can guide me to where i can get the chart print offs lm just starting off to becoming a assessor and need all the help i can get ps love the videos and the way you explain everything so clearly
Some trainers train it as if the gas goes straight through don’t count it but in reality would you be installing a 35mm tee or a 28mm tee so I always count the tees on the first pipe because at the end of the day it makes no difference.
Excellent video Derek, Exactly what I did in my acs earlier this year an yes mind bending at first but once you have the hang of it it’s simple.. I agree some engineers say it’s take to much time up an wont do it.. basically they can’t do it But can you please confirm the 1mb from meter to appliance is per appliance or over all appliances running together .. as you drawings an appliances an pressure loss over4 appliances running together would be well over a 4mb drop. Saying that everything would have to be bigger pipe sized.. I’m only asking as I was told/taught that it’s over all appliances Thanks an great video 👍
Tommy Blackman the way I have shown on the video is the way the British standards says it should be done. Must admit I don’t teach it this way to my students because in real life it doesn’t work if you have all the appliances on we do a running total but the standards say there is a very small chance you will have all the appliances on running at full rate at the same time. Thanks for watching cheers
Tomkat Gas Training excellent Derek, thanks that’s sums that up Stops me stressing looking at installations an thinking everything is under sized Thanks again Derek. Great video An many people don’t commit to gas pipe sizing
Hi, if we change a 15.5 kw integrated boiler (with hot Water tank inside it) in the airing cupboard, on the first floor, with 22mm copper pipe, from the meter, a branch to the gas hob, on the ground floor, with approximately 8 metres, for a 30 kw combi boiler in the loft, could I use the 22mm pipe, or extend with 35 mm pipe into the loft? Thanks.
Make sure to check for installation volume after to! Sorry but the pipework you gave in metres and sizes. Are they within the 0.035 m3 (maximum installation volume) as per IGEM/UP/1B). Thank you
I have a situation, my new firepit requires 240k and it is 60’ away from meter. The current pipe line is as follows-from gas meter 1” pipe size for 50’ distance and then branch out for 1/2” size for next 10’ distance to fire pit.Does this current pipe system would be good enough for 240k btu firepit?
Hi Derek planing to open a cafe and don’t have a gas in the building and called the gas supplier and before they install it they want to know annual load kWh and peak instantaneous demand kWh as well. How do I calculate I asked some British gas guys while they are on the job and they don’t have no clue 😊 can you able to help what would be the similar cafe or restaurant if you can guide many thanks
Derek, not all these sections add up to less than 1mb. That should be the case no? Each section alone should be under 1mb and added together also under 1mb. If that is the case i updated B>C to 28mm and F>G to 22mm and F>H also 22mm, this gave total loss of 0.9mb as opposed to 1.77mb for all sections in your calculations.
No you don’t add them all together I have followed the procedure laid out but the British standards. Even when sizing a gas gas meter now we don’t use the full kw of the appliances
@@tomkatgastraining either way your video helped refresh me, not looked at it for months. Did this example fair easily. So long as I know I don’t have to add them all up it’s groovy
10:09 you go for 28mm, is there any specific reason why for that? beside experience. Such as ''if total kw of the appliances more than 40kw'' or ''the total lenght of the pipeline is more than 20 meters'' etc?
Hi Derek, can I double check the flow rate calculations with you. So a 30kw net boiler would have a flow rate of 3.094 m³ (30×1.11÷10.76). Where does a multiplication factor of 0.095 come from?
Great Vid Derek thanks, I have a question. I was fitting a bathroom at a large building that's being converted to flats. I had to get some stuff from the outside store. I noticed all the gas meters are u6 with 22mm outlets going to 28mm track pipe then to what looks like 2.5" yellow in a floor chamber, then travels under block paving about 60 m into the building reducing to 28mm trac pipe to feed Combi boilers in each flat. My question would be & I raised this with the project manager. A) Is it normal to reduce up. B) Will the length of run have a load factor on the meter size. TIA
The meter will be fine but obviously checks would need to be carried out on the appliances to check the pipe sizing and also the volume of the pipe will need to be checked that it doesn’t exceed 0.035 m3
great video but how do you equate reducing fittings i,e tees and sockets into different pipe sizes or are the fittings chart the same flow rate no matter the tee ? eg. A-B is in 35mm teeing into B-C in 22mm and then B-D in 28mm. again great video learnt a lot
Is it correct to assume A-B and B-C to the Boiler, do not include a Tee. as they do not cause any resistance.... And that B-D. would have 2 tee's. 1 Entering and 1 Exiting tee. I am a Bit confused about where to include the Tee's in Each section.
@@tomkatgastraining Thanks, Much Appreciated. if the pipework was all the same size from A-B and B-C and B-D would it be correct to include the two Tee's on the B-D Section.
@@flash999able if you think about it logically would you count something at the beginning or the end I always count it first but at the end of the day you can count it when you like you are designing it most of the time
Hi thank you for explaining the gas pipe size calculation.
