Natural Gas - Service Line Protection Calculator Across Pressure Ranges

WARNING: The calculations used in this program are correct, to the best of our knowledge, and represent calculations determined by GF Central Plastics. Georg Fischer accepts no responsibility for the use or application of this calculator. Every installation has its own set of variables that must be taken into consideration. The user of the calculator must insure that proper engineering practices are followed when selecting the appropriate excess flow valves.

DISCLAIMER: Values reported are based on standard conditions of 60°F natural gas with a specific gravity of 0.6.

For assistance with sizing and technical information on GasLOK™ EFV, please contact Georg Fischer.
