Re: [Fwd: queries on compressor]

Hi George.....

I was interested to read your posts, thanks for providing such good commentary and advice. I am always curious as to how engineers size equipment and piping.....some use software, others charts and tables (me)...and still others use standard equations and spreadsheets. For Air piping, I am interested to find out how you size the plant air piping....do you use air piping friction loss tables or....? Something else. I have not had much experience with designing air piping for plant air systems and would be interested in your approach.....

thank you!
