Domestic gas pressure

[OffshoreGas]

You are talking about medium pressure gas main. Regulator for domestic is set to 20 to 23mbar working pressure. Standing pressure 25mbar. anything outside this perimeter requires attention. Please don't confuse this forum with what you think is clever. The forum is a mainly domestic and light commercial.

It wasn’t meant to be clever I was just curious why such a lot pressure is used domestically. Kind of seems like it causes problems like having to run 28mm gas pipes to boilers.

I’m quite sceptical about that, gas distribution still utilises quite a lot of positive displacement and turbine flow meters, if you change if you changed the pressure by any significant amount these would give massive errors unless you do a lot of maths.

They'll be cooking more than few steaks there ^^^^ then.
Bread maybe?

Grain dryer it was, high pressure set up scented onsite

They added mercaptan on site? Why was that?

Yep at high pressure sometimes it doesn’t come scented so have to add it onsite

 

[Sharp Point]

Isn’t mercaptan the chemical they add, to give gas it’s special odour?
